A-l EXECUTIVE SUMMARYA reliable test method is needed for predicting the long term storage stabilities of military aviation tuibine fuel reserves as well as for evaluating the effectiveness of antioxidants approved for these fuels. This report addresses this need. It describes a reliable and practical accelerated test method for predicting the peroxidation potential of aviation turbine fuels that are stored for long term periods. A test methodology is also proposed for evaluating antioxidants for future qualification in the military specification, MIL-T-5624. This paper is based on the collective results of extensive rigorous studies performed by the four participating laboratories: Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), San Antonio, Texas; Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Washington, D.C.; Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC), Trenton, New Jersey; and the National Institute of Petroleum and Energy Research (NIPER), Bartlesville, Oklahoma.The proposed accelerated test method for predicting the long term storage stabilities of JP-5 fuels entails conducting the stress test in a Low Pressure Reactor (LPR) at 100°C stress temperature, and 50 psia (344.8 kPa) overpressure air for 24 hours with the option to extend to 48 hours if deemed necessary. The 100°C stress temperature has been validated to be predictive of long term storage at ambient conditions. The use of 50 psia ai...
