1、Designation: D 3338 05An American National StandardStandard Test Method forEstimation of Net Heat of Combustion of Aviation Fuels1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3338; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of rev
2、ision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) 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 This test method
3、 covers the estimation of the net heat ofcombustion (megajoules per kilogram or Btu per pound) ofaviation gasolines and aircraft turbine and jet engine fuels.1.2 This test method is purely empirical and is applicable toliquid hydrocarbon fuels that conform to the specifications foraviation gasolines
4、 or aircraft turbine and jet engine fuels ofgrades Jet A, Jet A-1, Jet B, 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
5、net heat of combustion of a hydrocar-bon fuel is justifiable only when the 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 repre
6、sentative samples of thatclass. Even in this case, the possibility that the 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 115/14
7、5 (1, 2)2Kerosines, alkylates, and special WADC fuels (3)Pure hydrocarbonsparaffins, naphthenes, and aromatics (4)Fuels for which data were reported by the Coordinating ResearchCouncil (5).1.3 Although the test method permits the calculation of netheat of combustion in either SI or inch-pound units,
8、 SI units arethe preferred units.1.4 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 requires calculation ofone of four equations dependent on the fuel type with aprecision equivalent to that of this te
9、st 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 4529, Test Method D 3338does not require the use of aniline point.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of
10、thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

27、ignificance 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 and where anestimate is considered satisfactory. It is not intended as asubstitute for experimental measurements of he
28、at 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 the standarddeviation, is shown. This indicates, for example, that the meandensity for all fuels used in developing th
29、e 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 accurate when thevalues of the variables used are within one standard deviationof the mean, but is useful up to two standar
30、d deviations of themean. The use of this correlation may be applicable to otherhydrocarbon distillates and pure hydrocarbons; however, onlylimited data on non-aviation fuels over the entire range of thevariables were included in the correlation.NOTE 3The procedures for the experimental determination
31、 of thegross and net heats of combustion are described in Test Methods D 240and D 4809.5.2 The calorimetric methods cited in Note 3 measure grossheat of combustion. However, net heat is used in aircraftcalculations because all combustion products are in the gaseousstate. This calculation method is b
32、ased on net heat, but acorrection is required for condensed sulfur compounds.6.
