As aviation fuels are stored and transported in storage and transportation systems where contact with non-aviation products may occur (e.g
40、. multiproduct pipelines, nondedicated ship or barge) a fuel quality monitoring program is required in addition to equipment, operating, inspection and maintenance standards. This program should consist of documentation from the refinery source showing the quality of fuel being released which can be
41、 compared to ongoing monitoring of the fuel at downstream sites, typically by laboratory means as it is transported towards the aircraft. The purpose of this practice is to ensure the fuel remains on specification.If this original documentation is not available then full certificate of analysis (COA
42、) laboratory testing is required to verify the fuel is still within the limits of the fuel specification. Although in this case the amount, type, and usage of approved additives in the fuel is unknown.The consequences of a failure to supply the correct, on specification product to aircraft is potent
43、ially so serious that it is essential for each organization in the supply chain have a fuel quality monitoring program in place with documents demonstrating that the fuel continues to meet the original fuel specification.This RP provides guidance for documenting, ongoing monitoring and laboratory te
44、sting (fuel quality monitoring program) of aviation fuel quality throughout the supply chain. This document is not intended to offer guidance on all aspects of fuel handling. An effective fuel quality monitoring program will facilitate the delivery of on specification fuel which is fit for use. Fit
45、for use means that the fuel not only meets the relevant specification, but also is essentially free of non-aviation products, unapproved additives and other contaminants. Design, construction, operations, maintenance and additional inspection requirements for pre-airfield storage terminals can be fo
46、und in API 1595.Design, construction, operations, maintenance and additional inspection requirements for airport facilities can be found in the airport site operations standard/manual (i.e. ATA 103 or other applicable industry standards). Additional information may be found in API/EI 1540.vi1Documen
47、tation, Monitoring and Laboratory Testing of Aviation Fuel During Shipment from Refinery to Airport1 Scope and PurposeThis recommended practice (RP) was developed to provide guidance on the development of an aviation fuel monitoring and testing program (fuel quality monitoring program) for aviation
48、fuel from point of manufacture to delivery to the airport. “Proper handling” entails documenting and testing aviation fuel quality as product is transported throughout the supply chain to maintain the original product specification.Mandatory requirements in this standard are designated by the word “
49、shall.” Recommendations are designated by the word “should.” Optional items are designated by the word “may.” This standard incorporates by reference a number of other standards and RPs that need to be referred. The distinction between mandatory, recommended and optional provisions in the referenced documents are not changed by nature of their reference in this standard. The values stated for this standard are in U.S. (USC) customary units.2 ReferencesThe following referenced documents are cited in this document for informational purposes.
