Designation:D405422An American National StandardStandard Practice forEvaluation of New Aviation Turbine Fuels and FuelAdditives1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4054;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 standard practice provides procedures to developdata for use in research reports for new aviation turbine fuels,changes to existing aviation turbine fuels,or new aviationturbine fuel additives.These research reports are intended tosupport the development and issuance of new specifications orspecification revisions for these products.This standard prac-tice has also been used to evaluate the effect of incidentalmaterials on jet fuel properties and performance.1.2 The procedures,tests,and selection of materials detailedin this practice are based on industry expertise to provide thenecessary data to determine if the new or changed fuel oradditive is suitable for use on existing aircraft and engines andfor use in the current aviation operational and supply infra-structure.As such,it is primarily intended for the evaluation ofdrop-in fuels,but it can also be used for the evaluation of otherfuels.1.3 Because of the diversity of aviation hardware andpotential variation in fuel/additive formulations,not everyaspect may be fully covered and further work may be required.Therefore,additional data beyond that described in this prac-tice may be requested by the ASTM task force,SubcommitteeJ,or Committee D02 upon review of the specific composition,performance,or other characteristics of the candidate fuel oradditive.1.4 Units of measure throughout this practice are stated inInternational System of Units(SI)unless the test methodspecifies non-SI units.1.5 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,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.6 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A240/A240M Specification for Chromium and Chromium-Nickel Stainless Steel Plate,Sheet,and Strip for PressureVessels and for General ApplicationsB36/B36M Specification for Brass Plate,Sheet,Strip,AndRolled BarB93/B93M Specification for Magnesium Alloys in IngotForm for Sand Castings,Permanent Mold Castings,andDie CastingsD56 Test Method for Flash Point by Tag Closed Cup TesterD86 Test Method for Distillation of Petroleum Products andLiquid Fuels at Atmospheric PressureD93 Test Methods for Flash Point by Pensky-MartensClosed Cup TesterD257 Test Methods for DC Resistance or Conductance ofInsulating MaterialsD395 Test Methods for Rubber PropertyCompression SetD412 Test Methods for Vulcanized Rubber and Thermoplas-tic ElastomersTensionD445 Test Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Transparentand Opaque Liquids(and Calculation of Dynamic Viscos-ity)D471 Test Method for Rubber PropertyEffect of LiquidsD790 Test Methods for Flexural Properties of Unreinforcedand Reinforced Plastics and Electrical Insulating Materi-alsD924 Test Method for Dissipation Factor(or Power Factor)and Relative Permittivity(Dielectric Constant)of Electri-cal Insulating Liquids1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 on PetroleumProducts,Liquid Fuels,and Lubricants and is the direct responsibility of Subcom-mittee D02.J0.04 on Additives and Electrical Properties.Current edition approved April 1,2022.Published April 2022.Originallyapproved in 1981.Last previous edition approved in 2021 as D4054 21a.DOI:10.1520/D4054-22.2For 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 StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1D1002 Test Method for Apparent Shear Strength of Si
