Scope
This document describes a number of jet fuel properties and where applicable gives the specification limits for Jet A and Jet A-1, though the properties are generally applicable to all turbine fuels. Later versions of this document will give more details on specification limits for other similar fuels, such as TS-1, where they differ from Jet A and Jet-A1. It gives details about the possible impact on airframe fuel system design.
Rationale
There is a general lack of understanding across the industry of how the different properties of jet fuel may impact the design of fuel system equipment. In recent years, with the development of synthetic fuels, this has become important. This document tries to give an overview of what should be considered in the design of any new system, or when considering the impact of a new fuel pathway on an existing fuel system.

AE-5A Aerospace Fuel, Inerting and Lubrication Sys Committee
Welcome to the AE-5A, Aerospace Fuel, Inerting and Lubriation Systems public forum area.
Scope: Has responsibility for the resolution of problems in either design or service usage of aerospace fuel, oil and oxidizer systems, their components such as valves, pumps, couplings, fuel cells, quantity and flow gages, and tanks, and related problems as presure surger, icing, electrification, and safety. Develops standards addressing fuel, oil and oxidizer systems.

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
