Frequently Asked Questions

Why is conductivity (ASTM D2624) critical for jet fuel?
Jet fuel can build up static charge during high-speed pumping. In our Aviation Fuel Testing Services, ASTM D2624 measures conductivity to ensure static dissipator additives (SDA) are functioning correctly to prevent sparks and safety hazards.
Can you detect microbial growth in aviation turbine fuel?
Yes, through our Aviation Fuel Testing Services, we offer specialized screening for microbial contamination. Early detection is vital for preventing fuel probe errors and biological corrosion in aircraft wing tanks.
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 and Jet A-1 analysis.
What is the impact of free water and freeze point?
Free water can freeze at altitude and block fuel filters. Our Aviation Fuel Testing Services utilize freeze point analysis (ASTM D2386) to ensure the aviation turbine fuel remains fluid at extreme high-altitude temperatures.
