A Comparison of Two Bench Scale Tests of Fuel Low Temperature Flow Properties,

Abstract

The Setapoint apparatus, and a procedure originally developed by British Petroleum, are designed to give measure of the minimum temperature at which middle distillate fuels can be used. These were investigated, employing an experimental fuel, ERBS( Experimental Referee Broadened Specification) of petroleum origin, and synthetic mixtures based on isooctane with added n-parraffins. Special attention was given to the effects of cold flow improvers. Keywords: Aviation gas turbine fuels, and Canada.
