ASTM D1655
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers the use of purchasing agencies in formulating specifications for purchases of aviation turbine fuel under contract.
1.2 This specification defines specific types of aviation turbine fuel for civil use. It does not include all fuels satisfactory for aviation turbine engines. Certain equipment or conditions of use may permit a wider, or require a narrower, range of characteristics than is shown by this specification.
1.3 Aviation turbine fuels defined by this specification may be used in other than turbine engines which are specifically designed and certified for this fuel.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
