A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 T
3、his test method covers the estimation of the net heat ofcombustion (megajoules per kilogram or Btu per pound) ofaviation gasolines and aircraft turbine and jet engine fuels inthe range from 40.19 to 44.73 megajoules per kilogram or17 280 to 19 230 Btu per pound. The precision for estimationof the ne
4、t heat of combustion outside this range has not beendetermined for this test method.1.2 This test method is purely empirical and is applicable toliquid hydrocarbon fuels that conform to the specifications foraviation gasolines or aircraft turbine and jet engine fuels ofgrades Jet A, Jet A-1, Jet B,
5、JP-4, JP-5, JP-7, and JP-8.NOTE 1The experimental data on heat of combustion from which theTest Method D 3338 correlation was devised was obtained by a precisionmethod similar to Test Method D 4809.NOTE 2The estimation of the net heat of combustion of a hydrocar-bon fuel is justifiable only when the
6、 fuel belongs to a well-defined classfor which a relation between heat of combustion and aromatic and sulfurcontents, density, and distillation range of the fuel has been derived fromaccurate experimental measurements on representative samples of thatclass. Even in this case, the possibility that th
7、e estimates may be in errorby large amounts for individual fuels should be recognized. The fuels usedto establish the correlation presented in this method are defined as follows:Fuels:Aviation gasolineGrades 100/130 and 115/145 (1, 2)2Kerosines, alkylates, and special WADC fuels (3)Pure hydrocarbons
8、paraffins, naphthenes, and aromatics (4)Fuels for which data were reported by the Coordinating ResearchCouncil (5).NOTE 3The property ranges used in this correlation are as follows:Aromaticsfrom 0 to 100 mass %API Gravityfrom 25.7 to 81.2APIVolatilityfrom 160 to 540F, average boiling point1.3 The va

10、rd.1.3.1 Although the test method permits the calculation ofnet heat of combustion in either SI or inch-pound units, SI unitsare the preferred units.1.3.2 The net heat of combustion can also be estimated ininch-pound units by Test Method D 1405 or in SI units by TestMethod D 4529. Test Method D 1405
11、 requires calculation ofone of four equations dependent on the fuel type with aprecision equivalent to that of this test method. Test MethodD 4529 requires calculation of a single equation for all aviationfuels with a precision equivalent to that of this test method.Unlike Test Method D 1405 and D 4
12、529, Test Method D 3338does not require the use of aniline point.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

Significance and Use5.1 This test method is intended for use as a guide in caseswhere experimental determination of heat of co
30、mbustion is notavailable and cannot be made conveniently and where anestimate is considered satisfactory. It is not intended as asubstitute for experimental measurements of heat of combus-tion. Table 1 shows a summary for the range of each variableused in developing the correlation. The mean value a
31、nd anestimate of its distribution about the mean, namely the standarddeviation, is shown. This indicates, for example, that the meandensity for all fuels used in developing the correlation was779.3 kg/m3and that two thirds of the samples had a densitybetween 721.4 and 837.1 kg/m3, that is, plus or m
32、inus onestandard deviation. The correlation is most accurate when thevalues of the variables used are within one standard deviationof the mean, but is useful up to two standard deviations of themean. The use of this correlation may be applicable to otherhydrocarbon distillates and pure hydrocarbons;
