Designation:D756615cAn American National StandardStandard Specification forAviation Turbine Fuel Containing SynthesizedHydrocarbons1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7566;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript 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.Scope*1.1 This specification covers the manufacture of aviationturbine fuel that consists of conventional and synthetic blend-ing components.1.2 This specification applies only at the point of batchorigination,as follows:1.2.1 Aviation turbine fuel manufactured,certified,andreleased to all the requirements of Table 1 of this specification(D7566),meets the requirements of Specification D1655 andshall be regarded as Specification D1655 turbine fuel.Dupli-cate testing is not necessary;the same data may be used forboth D7566 and D1655 compliance.Once the fuel is releasedto this specification(D7566)the unique requirements of thisspecification are no longer applicable:any recertification shallbe done in accordance with Table 1 of Specification D1655.1.2.2 Field blending of synthesized paraffinic kerosine(SPK)blendstocks,as described in Annex A1(FT SPK),Annex A2(HEFA SPK),Annex A3(SIP),or synthesizedparaffinic kerosine plus aromatics(SPK/A)as described inAnnexA4 with D1655 fuel(which may on the whole or in parthave originated as D7566 fuel)shall be considered batchorigination in which case all of the requirements of Table 1 ofthis specification(D7566)apply and shall be evaluated.Shortform conformance test programs commonly used to ensuretransportation quality are not sufficient.The fuel shall beregarded as D1655 turbine fuel after certification and release asdescribed in 1.2.1.1.2.3 Once a fuel is redesignated as D1655 aviation turbinefuel,it can be handled in the same fashion as the equivalentrefined D1655 aviation turbine fuel.1.3 This specification defines specific types of aviationturbine fuel that contain synthesized hydrocarbons for civil usein the operation and certification of aircraft and describes fuelsfound satisfactory for the operation of aircraft and engines.Thespecification is intended to be used as a standard in describingthe quality of aviation turbine fuels and synthetic blendingcomponents at the place of manufacture but can be used todescribe the quality of aviation turbine fuels for contractualtransfer at all points in the distribution system.1.4 This specification does not define the quality assurancetesting and procedures necessary to ensure that fuel in thedistribution system continues to comply with this specificationafter batch certification.Such procedures are definedelsewhere,for example in ICAO 9977,EI/JIG Standard 1530,JIG 1,JIG 2,API 1543,API 1595,and ATA-103.1.5 This specification does not include all fuels satisfactoryfor aviation turbine engines.Certain equipment or conditionsof use may permit a wider,or require a narrower,range ofcharacteristics than is shown by this specification.1.6 While aviation turbine fuels defined by Table 1 of thisspecification can be used in applications other than aviationturbine engines,requirements for such other applications havenot been considered in the development of this specification.1.7 Synthetic blending components,synthetic fuels,andblends of synthetic fuels with conventional petroleum-derivedfuels in this specification have been evaluated and approved inaccordance with the principles established in Practice D4054.1.8 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.9 This standard does not purport to address all of 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.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D56 Test Method for Flash Point by Tag Closed Cup Tester1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products,Liquid Fuels,and Lubricants and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D02.J0.06 on Emerging Turbine Fuels.Current edition approved Nov.1,2015.Published December 2015.Originallyapproved in 2009.Last previous edition approved in 2015 as D7566 15b.DOI:10.1520/D7566-15C.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 D86 Test Method for D
