Determination of the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of JP-4 Fuels.

Abstract

Precise density determinations were made on 100 JP-4 jet fuels using a Mettler/Paar Model ADS-55 density measuring system. Statistical analysis of the density measurements was performed using a computerized nonlinear regression technique; and coefficient of thermal expansion values were calculated for each fuel at 60 F. A majortiy of the fuels (88 out of 100) were consistent with the API published volume series correction for crude oils.
