A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test me
3、thod 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 net heat of c
4、ombustion 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, JP-4, JP-5,
5、 JP-7, and JP-8.NOTE 1The experimental data on heat of combustion from which theTest Method D3338 correlation was devised was obtained by a precisionmethod similar to Test Method D4809.NOTE 2The estimation of the net heat of combustion of a hydrocarbonfuel is justifiable only when the fuel belongs t
6、o a well-defined class forwhich 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 the estimates may
7、 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 hydrocarbonsparaffins, naph
8、thenes, 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 values stated in
9、either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3.1 Althou
10、gh 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 D1405 or in SI units by TestMethod D4529. Test Method D1405 requires calculat
11、ion of oneof four equations dependent on the fuel type with a precisionequivalent to that of this test method. Test Method D4529requires calculation of a single equation for all aviation fuelswith a precision equivalent to that of this test method. UnlikeTest Method D1405 and D4529, Test Method D333
12、8/D3338Mdoes 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 combustion is notavailable and cannot be made conveniently
30、 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 and anestimate of its distribution about the mean, namely
31、 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 minus onestandard deviation. The correlation is most accu

35、s cited in Note 4 measure grossheat of combustion. However, net heat is used in aircraftcalculations because all combustion products are in the gaseousstate.
