Jet Fuel: Low-Temperature Viscosity Testing for QC and Research

05 Apr, 2013

Published over 13 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Fuel analysis.

For simultaneous viscosity and density measurements on aviation fuel at low temperatures like -20 °C, Anton Paar (Austria) provides the SVM 3000 viscometer which easily fits on your laboratory bench. SVM 3000 only requires 2.5 mL of sample and also has low solvent and power consumption. It can be used for single samples or with a sample changer to analyse up to 96 samples automatically. This measurement of density and kinematic viscosity is suitable for all types of aviation fuel and gives results equivalent to ASTM D445.
