Variability of Major Organic Components in Aircraft Fuels. Volume 2. Illustrations
Abstract
This report summarizes qualitative and quantitative data on the chemical variability of approximately 300 features (chemical components or mixtures of components) with concentrations greater than 0.1 mg/ml in Air Force distillate fuels obtained from over 50 sources. These data were obtained to better understand the environmental effects of possible fuel spills and to serve as a data baseline in photochemical smog and soot formation studies. Fifty-four petroleum-derived JP-4 fuels, one shale-derived JP-4 fuel, and one petroleum-derived JP-5 fuel were analyzed. The variability of the absolute concentrations in mg/ml was assessed for each feature in the capillary GC/FID (gas chromatography/flame ionization detection) analysis of the 54 fuels. Data base management programs developed and used in this assessment included the calculation of averages, ranges, standard deviations, and percent relative standard deviations of the 300 chromatographic feature concentrations in duplicate analyses of almost all of the fuels.
