Aviation turbine fuel

Whilst various nations standards are published, examples being those of China, Russia, Canada and Japan, the two most widely referenced and used standards for global aviation are the following:

(1) British Ministry of Defence Standard DEF STAN 91-091 for Turbine Fuel, Kerosene Type, Jet A-1, NATO Code F-35, Joint Service Designation: AVTUR. This UK defence standard specifies the requirements for one grade of kerosene type aviation turbine fuel intended for use in aircraft gas turbine engines. The standard may be used globally if the prevailing regulations allow. This standard is currently under review.

(2) ASTM Standard Specification D1655 -20c for Aviation Turbine Fuels sets the quality parameters for the grades: Jet A and Jet A-1
