| 摘要： | In response to the July 1996 TWA Flight 800 disaster, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) collected jet fuel samples from domestic and international flights to determine the actual flash point of jet fuel in service. This data was collected to help determine whether any change in the ASTM D1655 turbine fuel specification would help prevent any future such incident and to use in fuel tank flammability assessments. This report details the flash point results from 293 jet fuel samples collected from April 1998 through September 1999. The results found no fuel samples to be out of specification. Samples were retrieved at the end of flights, before refueling, that ended in Philadelphia, PA; New York, NY (JFK); and Newark, NJ. These locations provided convenient locations for FAA technicians to be able to obtain samples from fuel from all over the US and abroad. The results helped determine that no change in the turbine fuel specification was required. The flashpoint distribution from the survey was also used in the harmonized FAA special conditions issued for the B-747 and B-737 fuel tank flammability reduction means and in the proposed Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 25 Appendix L that was published in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking titled, 'Reduction of Fuel Tank Flammability in Transport Category Airplanes' (docket number FAA-2005-22997). |
