The relationship between electrical conductivity and temperature of aviation turbine fuels containing static dissipator additives

The relationship between the electrical conductivity and temperature of Canadian produced wide-cut and kerosine type aviation turbine fuels containing static dissipator additives has been evaluated. Results obtained show that the temperature/conductivity coefficient, n, in the relationship log kt = n (t - t1) log kt1 is dependent upon several...

Boiling range distribution of petroleum fractions by gas chromatography

Gas chromatography has been found to he a useful technique for obtaining more detailed information concerning the boiling range distribution of petroleum fuels than that obtained by the standard distillation procedure. The application of an ASTM procedure, which utilizes gas chromatographic analysis, to the analysis of wide-cut aviation turbine...

Evaluation of fire resistant lubricants for industrial gas turbines

The use of fire-resistant lubricants, of the phosphate ester type, in industrial gas turbines used for natural gas transmission is widely accepted. These fluids are more expensive than petroleum lubricants and a long service liIe is required to make their uae economically viabie. Preliminary laboratory screening of new candidate fluids for their...

Aircraft carburettor icing studies

A study has been made of the effect of gasoline icing inhibitors on aircraft carburettor icing. An engine test was developed and used to evaluate various types of inhibitor. The results obtained showed that aircraft carburettor icing can be prevented by the inclusion of additives in the gasoline. The use of a teflon-coated throttle plate to...

Evaluation of methods for the determination of fuel soluble icing inhibitor in aviation fuels

In addition to the standard 3-GP-O titration procedure, two alternate methods for determining the fuel soluble icing inhibitor content of aviation fuels, have been suggested. These methods are also suitable for field use. An evaluation of the three procedures has therefore been conducted. Results obtained show that the Seiscor differential...
