Product Description

JP*4 Jet Fuel:
Jet fuel A*1

Jet fuel is a type of aviation fuel designed for use in aircraft powered by gas-turbine engines. It is clear to straw-colored in appearance. The most commonly used fuels for commercial aviation are Jet A and Jet A*1 which are produced to a standardized international specification. The only other jet fuel commonly used in civilian turbine-engine powered aviation is Jet B which is used for its enhanced cold-weather performance.

Jet fuel is a mixture of a large number of different hydrocarbons. The range of their sizes (molecular weights or carbon numbers) is restricted by the requirements for the product, for example, the freezing point or smoke point. Kerosene-type jet fuel (including Jet A and Jet A*1) has a carbon number distribution between about 8 and *6 carbon numbers (carbon atoms per molecule); wide-cut or naphtha-type jet fuel (including Jet B), between about 5 and *5 carbon number.

Jet A*1 is the standard specification fuel used in the rest of the world. Jet A*1 has a flash point higher than *8 °C (**0 °F), with an autoignition temperature of **0 °C (**0 °F).
