Analysis of Changes in Normative-Technical Requirements of Domestic Jet Fuels
Based on analysis of current normative-technical documents, we show that the quality requirements of aviation fuels, especially supersonic aircraft fuels, have been declining in the Russian Federation since 2006. The need for improvement in requirements for thermooxidative stability of domestic fuels determined under dynamic conditions, and for insertion of appropriate changes to the Technical Rules of Customs Union and Fuel Standard is shown. It is proposed to remove T-6 and T-8 V fuels from the list of products to which the technical Rules of the Customs Union apply, delete change No. 2 to GOST 12308, conduct research on validation of standards for wear-resistance properties of jet fuels, and insert the parameter "wear-spot diameter" as determined in conformity with GOST 53715 into normative-technical documents.
