JP-8 Volatility Study
Abstract
The Clean Air Act and related State/local regulations require facilities to periodically prepare and submit air emissions inventories which quantify the annual emissions from the various stationary sources/processes located at the installation. For Air Force installations, these inventories must include the evaporative losses associated with the transfer and storage of jet fuel (i.e., JP-8). To accurately calculate the evaporative losses associated with fuel storage and transfer operation, the true vapor pressure of the fuel at various 'ambient' temperatures must be known. Unfortunately, very little JP-8 vapor pressure information is currently available for temperatures at or below 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This report measured the true vapor pressure of several representative JP-8 fuel at seven different ambient range temperatures.
