AGT Labs Petroleum Testing

Aviation Fuel Testing Services & Quality Assurance

Providing accredited jet fuel analysis services for Jet A, Jet A-1, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) compliance.

Safety-Critical Jet Fuel Analysis & Aviation Turbine Fuel Compliance

AGT Labs provides professional Aviation Fuel Testing Services to ensure the quality and safety of high-performance aviation turbine fuel systems. Our Houston facility performs ISO/IEC 17025 accredited testing of Jet A, Jet A-1 and SAF blends, including electrical conductivity, free water and particulates, copper strip corrosion, existent gum, sulfur compounds, density and API gravity, color and refractive index.

Our Aviation Fuel Testing Services support airport operators, airlines, and refineries with accredited technical data. Whether managing batch consistency at storage terminals or checking Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blends, we provide the results needed to catch water, particulate and corrosive contamination in safety-critical environments.

Industries We Serve

Accredited analysis supporting our specialized testing capabilities, ensuring global flight safety and full compliance with international fuel quality standards.

Airport Fueling Farms

Ensuring into-plane fuel quality and monitoring for particulate contamination during hydrants and storage transfer.

Jet Fuel Refineries

Accredited quality checks on finished jet fuel and SAF batches, including gum, conductivity and copper corrosion.

Commercial Airlines

Independent verification of fuel stocks for water, particulates and corrosiveness before use.

Into-Plane Fueling

Monitoring fuel cleanliness and conductivity during the critical last-mile delivery to the aircraft fuel tanks.

Containers & Handling

  • Use only certified clean containers; avoid unlined metal for corrosion tests.
  • Prevent environmental ingress during the into-plane sampling process.
  • Flush valves thoroughly to ensure the sample represents the bulk aviation turbine fuel stock.

Transport & Logistics

  • Include accurate records of sampling temperature and point of origin.
  • Expedited shipping to our Houston laboratory for time-sensitive cargo lifts.
  • Samples stored in a temperature-controlled environment per technical safety compliance standards.

Quality & Reporting

Reports from our Fuel Testing Services provide technical clarity for flight readiness and regulatory audit compliance for Jet A-1 analysis.

  • ✓ COA with method references, results, and certified authorized signatory.
  • ✓ Secure PDF Delivery via automated client technical portal.
  • ✓ Measurement uncertainty available on request.
  • ✓ Consultation for out-of-spec conductivity or particulate contamination.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which aviation fuel tests are accredited at AGT Labs?
Our PJLA ISO/IEC 17025 scope covers electrical conductivity (ASTM D2624), free water and particulates (ASTM D4176), copper strip corrosion (ASTM D130), existent gum (ASTM D381), sulfur compounds by GC-PFPD (ASTM D5623), density and API gravity (ASTM D5002), color (ASTM D6045) and refractive index (ASTM D1218).
Why does free water matter in aviation fuel?
Free water can freeze at altitude and block fuel filters. ASTM D4176 identifies free water and particulate contamination before fuel goes into the aircraft.
Why is conductivity (ASTM D2624) critical for jet fuel?
Jet fuel can build up static charge during high-speed pumping. ASTM D2624 measures conductivity to ensure static dissipator additives (SDA) are functioning correctly to prevent sparks and safety hazards.
How fast can I get jet fuel results?
Routine analysis via our Aviation Fuel Testing Services is typically delivered within 24 to 48 hours. We offer expedited rush support for Houston-area port operations.
