ASTM International is bringing its course Aviation Fuels: Specifications and Test Methods to the European market, beginning with a course in Brussels, Belgium to be held from Apr. 9-11, 2025.
The course covers a broad range of aviation fuel specifications and test methods, specifically on how they are used for quality control. Attendees are welcome to participate and will have ample opportunity to get hands-on with samples of aviation fuels equipment.
The class will help supervisors, managers, and other professionals build an understanding of various topics in the field. Attendees who complete the course will be able to:
- Determine how specifications are used to control the quality of aviation fuels and why they affect product performance and availability,
- List bulk and trace properties of aviation fuel,
- Describe past and current problems related to aviation fuel,
- Explain various methods of testing aviation fuels and how they are manufactured,
- Explain methods of fuel handling, sampling, and transportation, and
- Describe the interaction of aviation fuels with aircraft engines and ground equipment.
"The course is recommended for all who have responsibility for handling aviation fuels from the petroleum source to the aircraft,” says Fred Barnes, one of the course’s instructors. “It covers all fuels from turbine fuel, to sustainable aviation fuels, to aviation gasoline. We discuss fuel properties and tests which are listed in various specifications, but also build a thorough understanding of the critical properties to check as the fuels go through the distribution system. These properties are critical to ensure that no contamination has occurred and the fuel arrives at the airplane clean, dry and on specification."
