The application of methods for assessing the thermal oxidative jet fuel stability in civil aviation

As a result of jet fuel oxidation, insoluble sediments, called resins or high-temperature deposits, are formed. They significantly reduce the chemmotological reliability aircraft engine system units, i.e., metering equipment, fuel-oil coolers, fine filters, etc. The main factors that intensify oxidation processes quality and meeting specifications as well its temperature. In this regard, aviation supply enterprises constantly monitor indicators thermal stability. widely used domestic method for assessing oxidative stability is technique under static conditions (Thermal Jet Fuel Stability – TJFS), foreign one dynamic (Jet Thermal Oxidation Test JFTOT). Opinions concerning use particular an objective assessment divided. article considers provisions with respect to stability, overviews methods indicators, characterizing provides statistical data on long-term (TJFS) (JFTOT) TS-1 RT grades subsonic supplied airline.
