Designation:D165515d1An American National StandardStandard Specification forAviation Turbine Fuels1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1655;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.1NOTEFootnote L of Table 1 was corrected editorially in October 2015.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers the use of purchasing agenciesin formulating specifications for purchases of aviation turbinefuel under contract.1.2 This specification defines the minimum property re-quirements for Jet A and Jet A-1 aviation turbine fuel and listsacceptable additives for use in civil operated engines andaircrafts.Specification D1655 is directed at civil applications,and maintained as such,but may be adopted for military,government or other specialized uses.1.3 This specification can be used as a standard in describ-ing the quality of aviation turbine fuel from production to theaircraft.However,this specification does not define the qualityassurance testing and procedures necessary to ensure that fuelin the distribution system continues to comply with thisspecification after batch certification.Such procedures aredefined elsewhere,for example in ICAO 9977,EI/JIG Stan-dard 1530,JIG 1,JIG 2,API 1543,API 1595,and ATA-103.1.4 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.1.5 Aviation turbine fuels defined by this specification maybe used in other than turbine engines that are specificallydesigned and certified for this fuel.1.6 This specification no longer includes wide-cut aviationturbine fuel(Jet B).FAA has issued a Special AirworthinessInformation Bulletin which now approves the use of Specifi-cation D6615 to replace Specification D1655 as the specifica-tion for Jet B and refers users to this standard for reference.1.7 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.However,other units of measurement are included inthis standard.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D56 Test Method for Flash Point by Tag Closed Cup TesterD86 Test Method for Distillation of Petroleum Products atAtmospheric PressureD93 Test Methods for Flash Point by Pensky-MartensClosed Cup TesterD130 Test Method for Corrosiveness to Copper from Petro-leum Products by Copper Strip TestD156 Test Method for Saybolt Color of Petroleum Products(Saybolt Chromometer Method)D240 Test Method for Heat of Combustion of Liquid Hy-drocarbon Fuels by Bomb CalorimeterD323 Test Method for Vapor Pressure of Petroleum Products(Reid Method)D381 Test Method for Gum Content in Fuels by Jet Evapo-rationD445 Test Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Transparentand Opaque Liquids(and Calculation of Dynamic Viscos-ity)D1266 Test Method for Sulfur in Petroleum Products(LampMethod)D1298 Test Method for Density,Relative Density,or APIGravity of Crude Petroleum and Liquid Petroleum Prod-ucts by Hydrometer MethodD1319 Test Method for Hydrocarbon Types in Liquid Petro-leum Products by Fluorescent Indicator AdsorptionD1322 Test Method for Smoke Point of Kerosine andAviation Turbine FuelD1405 Test Method for Estimation of Net Heat of Combus-tion of Aviation FuelsD1660 Method of Test for Thermal Stability of AviationTurbine Fuels(Withdrawn 1992)3D1840 Test Method for Naphthalene Hydrocarbons in Avia-tion Turbine Fuels by Ultraviolet Spectrophotometry1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products,Liquid Fuels,and Lubricants and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D02.J0.01 on Jet Fuel Specifications.Current edition approved Oct.1,2015.Published October 2015.Originallyapproved in 1959.Last previous edition approved in 2015 as D1655 15c.DOI:10.1520/D1655-15DE01.2For 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.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.*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 D2276 Test Method for Particulate Contaminant in AviationFuel by Line SamplingD2386 Test Method for Freezing Point of Aviation FuelsD2622 Test Method for Sulfur in Petroleum Products byWavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence SpectrometryD2624 Test Methods for Electrical Conductivity of Aviationand Distillate FuelsD2887 Test Method for Boiling Range Distribution of Pe-troleum Fractions
