We have some exciting news to share! Company PAC - a global leader, manufacturing sophisticated equipment for petroleum industry has announced that the tester for JFTOT tube deposite rating - OptiReader is now cited as an approved procedure in ASTM D3241-17a Thermal Oxidation Stability of Aviation Fuels Test Method. This exciting news finally has bring an end to the era of very imprecise and subjective manual visual tests. OptiReader is unique tester, allowing to check deposit rating of JFTOT tubes in minutes with high precision. You should consider to replace your Visual tube rating by the newest technology in this field.

Smoke Point of Kerosenes and Aviation Turbine Fuels. Another unique instrument produced by company AD Systems - SP10 automatic Smoke Point unit has got full approval of ASTM subcommittee. In regards to the test method, ASTM D1322, a ballot will be proposed to report the smoke point with a resolution of 0.1 mm. There will be no difference between the manual/visual procedure and the automated procedure (SP10).Test Method D1322 will be updated. The Standard Specification for Aviation Turbine Fuels D1655 will also be modified. In addition to this modification, a note will be added mentioning that the automated procedure (SP10) will be the referee procedure. The SP10 will become almost mandatory for jet fuel certification.

Breaking News from Standardization Committees July, 2014. ASTM D3241 - JFTOT The unique instrument, produce by company ADSystem - DR10 - Deposit tube rater is now part of ASTM D3241.In May 2014, an ASTM D02 ballot has been submitted to authorize new JFTOT tube rating techniques. The ballot received zero negative votes and the new D3241 got approved. The ballot proposes to modify the fail limit for the thermal stability test; it will be as follows: In addition to the “3 color code and the no peacock or abnormal deposit”, an 85 nm maximum deposit thickness will be noted with a new note K. Note K will be as follow: “The ITR and the ETR techniques are the preferred techniques to evaluate the Jet Fuel Thermal Oxidation deposit.” In other words, when this ballot is approved, to certify a jet fuel, it will be almost mandatory to use either the DR10. This is a great decision in terms of safety because it will totally remove the subjectivity from the test.
