Designation:D405414An American National StandardStandard Practice forQualification and Approval of New Aviation Turbine Fuelsand Fuel Additives1This 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.1.Scope*1.1 This practice covers and provides a framework for thequalification and approval of new fuels and new fuel additivesfor use in commercial and military aviation gas turbineengines.The practice was developed as a guide by the aviationgas-turbine engine Original Equipment Manufacturers(OEMs)with ASTM International member support.The OEMs aresolely responsible for approval of a fuel or additive in theirrespective engines and airframes.For the purpose of this guide,“approval”means“permission to use;”it is not an endorsementof any kind.Standards organizations such as ASTM Interna-tional(Subcommittee D02.J0),United Kingdom Ministry ofDefence,and the U.S.military list only those fuels andadditives that are mutually acceptable to all OEMs.ASTMInternational and OEM participation in the evaluation orapproval procedure does not constitute an endorsement of thefuel or additive.1.2 The OEMs will consider a new fuel or additive based onan established need or benefit attributed to its use.Upon OEMand regulatory authority approval,the fuel or fuel additive maybe listed in fuel specifications such as Pratt&Whitney(P&W)Service Bulletin No.2016;General Electric Aviation(GE)Specification No.D50TF2;and Rolls Royce(RR)enginemanuals.Subsequent to OEM approval and industry(ASTM)review and ballot,the fuel or fuel additive may be listed in fuelspecifications such as Specification D1655,Defence Standard91-91,United States Air Force MIL-DTL-83133,and theUnited States Navy MIL-DTL-5624.This qualification andapproval process has been coordinated with airworthiness andcertification groups within each company,the Federal AviationAdministration(FAA),and the European Aviation SafetyAgency(EASA).1.3 Units of measure throughout this practice are stated inInternational System of Units(SI)unless the test methodspecifies non-SI units.1.4 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: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 atAtmospheric PressureD257 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 LiquidsD1002 Test Method for Apparent Shear Strength of Single-Lap-Joint Adhesively Bonded Metal Specimens by Ten-sion Loading(Metal-to-Metal)1This 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 Dec.1,2014.Published February 2015.Originallyapproved in 1981.Last previous edition approved in 2009 as D4054 09.DOI:10.1520/D4054-14.2For 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 D1319 Test Method for Hydrocarbon Types in Liquid Petro-leum Products by Fluorescent Indicator AdsorptionD1331 Test Methods for Surface and Interfacial Tension ofSolutions of Paints,Solvents,Solutions of Surface-ActiveAgents,and Related MaterialsD1414 Test Methods for Rubber O-RingsD1655 Specification for Aviation Turbine FuelsD2240 Test Method for Rubber
