ASTM D7566 Standard Specification for Aviation Turbine Fuel Containing Synthesized Hydrocarbons
ASTM D7566 identifies the specifications of aviation turbine fuel that is made up of synthesized hydrocarbons, which are blended with Jet A or Jet A-1. The standard enables the safe and consistent use of alternative fuels, such as synthetic paraffinic kerosene (SPK), synthetic iso-paraffins (SIP), and other approved synthetic blending constituents. It provides limits on blending, test procedures, and handling instructions to achieve performance, compatibility, and certification of aviation operations.

Introduction to ASTM D7566
This specification was developed to accommodate the use of both sustainable and synthetic fuels in the aviation industry. It enables up to 50% mixing of different synthetic elements with standard jet fuels, according to their type and characteristics. Such mixtures are also checked on quality, certified by aviation authorities, and additives are strictly controlled. The goal is to minimize the use of petroleum-based fuels without compromising the safety of the operation or the engine’s compatibility.
ASTM D7566 Test Method
Blending and Quality Verification
Fuel should be manufactured in discrete batches and tested to ensure compliance before use.
Sampling and Testing
The sampling process is conducted under strict guidelines to obtain a representative batch for compliance testing.
ASTM D7566 Equipment and Sample Preparation
Sample Preparation
The sampling process should be conducted in a manner that is free from contamination and representative.
Equipment
Flash point, freezing point, density, distillation, viscosity, and other parameters that determine the performance of the fuel batch are tested using standard instruments.
ASTM D7566 Test Results and Interpretation
The fuel should have all values listed in the tables of the specification, such as flash point, net heat of combustion, sulfur content, freezing point, and thermal stability. Individual batch testing determines compliance, and failure to meet these standards leads to rejection. Additives should also be present and in such stated limits.

Use of ASTM D7566 Testing in Various Industries
Military and commercial fuel providers to aviation companies
Airlines using sustainable aviation fuels (SAF)
Manufacturers of aircraft and engines
Authorizing agencies on the use of alternative fuels
Challenges in ASTM D7566 Testing
The number of synthetic components can be limited by blending restrictions based on fuel density, aromatic content, and viscosity. Strict certification procedures, strict additive compatibility, and thermal stability must be strongly controlled. The investigation of synthetic fuels brings in calibration difficulties as well as property correlations in instrumentation.
ASTM D7566 Importance
ASTM D7566 is a crucial standard that has enabled the use of cleaner and more renewable fuels in the aviation industry without compromising safety. It helps achieve sustainability objectives and also maintains engine compatibility and performance, and hence is vital to the global transition to environmentally responsible air travel.
