Lot 1 Surface Tension in conformity with ASTM D1331
£40,000
Surface tension is a measurement of the cohesive energy present at an interface. Values for surface tension are usually given when the surface of the liquid is in contact with air. This understanding is important in two key fuel areas, including (i) the movement of gas (air) into and out of turbine fuel, and (ii) the movement of turbine fuel into airstreams...

Lot 2 Electrical conductivity in conformity with ASTM D2624
£2,500
Aviation fuels, in general, are highly refined products with a very low electrical conductivity. This indicates that they have the potential to build up a very high static electrical charge, which can lead to sparking and ignition of explosive vapours. Commonly, aviation fuels are pumped through distribution lines and filters causing the potential for an sta...
