    AVIATION TURBINE FUEL - JET A-1 TEST

    Aviation products should be delivered in the same 'on specification' condition in which they
    were procured from the producing refineries. From the refineries, aviation products are
    transported by various methods such as Ocean Tankers, Pipelines, Tank wagons, Tank trucks
    and packed containers to the final consuming points, i.e. airport. During this transportation,
    the aviation products are also stored for certain periods at various intermediate stages such as
    Terminals, Depots & Aviation Storage Points before the final delivery to the aircraft.
    To ensure that the aviation products received from refinery are 'on specification' throughout
    the transport and storage till delivered to the aircraft, various types of laboratory as well as
    field-testing at different stages are essential. Strict following of the procedures laid down shall
    ensure the quality of the products transported, handled, stored and delivered is maintained till
    the end.

    SAMPLING PROCEDURE
    Product sampling is a specialized technique of aviation operation. Representative samples are
    to be drawn at specified intervals for the following purposes:
    1) Visual examination
    2) Short test
    3) Monitoring test
    4) Laboratory testing
    Proper sampling is important, as improper sampling shall lead to incorrect test results even
    though the product may be on specification. Procedures enumerated below must be implicitly
    followed whenever samples are drawn.

    The type of tests with characteristics for which the tests to be conducted are furnished in the
    following pages.
