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.

Sampling, Handling & Chain of Custody
Reliable Aviation Fuel Testing Services depend on pristine sampling to avoid false failures for free water or particulate contamination. Please use epoxy-lined or clear glass containers with a completed CoC.
Download Chain of Custody FormContainers & 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.
