Navy Coalescence Test on Petroleum F-76 Fuel

Abstract

The Navy Coalescence Test (NCT) is a fit-for-purpose test which uses a specially manufactured small filter/coalescer cell to simulate the performance of a full scale filter/coalesce system while utilizing a small volume of fuel. This testing is designed to predict the performance of the filter/coalescer systems currently in use in the fleet. Recently there have been numerous requests to test additives for diesel fuel and this test was conducted to create a petroleum non-additized diesel baseline. This test fuel met all the test requirements and passed the NCT. It is recommended for use in further NCT testing.
