Anton Paar has published an Application Flash on the user of its SVM 3001 viscometer to measure jet fuel.
Certified according to ASTM D1655 and D7566, Jet fuel is designed for use in aircraft powered by gas-turbine engines. The most commonly used fuel for commercial aviation is Jet A-1, which is produced to a standardised international specification. The only other jet fuel commonly used in civilian turbine-engine powered aviation is Jet B, which is used for its enhanced cold-weather performance.
The SVM 3001 is claimed by Anton Paar to give more parameters than any other kinematic viscometer on the market. A single measuring cycle on a small sample volume yields kinematic viscosity, density, dynamic viscosity and more.
