Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Chemometrics Instrumentation and Methodology for Field Evaluation of Diesel and Aviation Fuels by the U.S. Army

Abstract

To meet the requirements set forth for the Army's Petroleum Test Kit (PTK), The Army has developed a near-infrared spectrometer, under the Small Business Innovative Research program, which utilizes chemometrics to predict various physical properties of a fuel sample. This paper was written in April of 2004 and reflects the status of the program to that date.
