Aviation Kerosene JP 54:
Jet fuel A-1.
Jet fuel designed for use in aircraft powered by gas-turbine
engines. It is clear to straw-colored in appearance. The most
commonly used fuels for commercial aviation are Jet A and Jet
A-1 are produced to a standardized international specification.
Jet fuel is a mixture of a large number of different
hydrocarbons. The range of their sizes is restricted by the
requirements for the product, for example, the freezing point
or smoke point. Kerosene-type jet fuel has a carbon number
distribution between about 8 and 16 carbon numbers (carbon
atoms per molecule); wide-cut or naphtha-type jet fuel
(including Jet B), between about 5 and 15 carbon number.
Jet A-1 is the standard specification fuel used in the rest of
the world. Jet A-1 has a flash point higher than 38 °C (100
°F), with an autoignition temperature of 210 °C (410 °F).
