8、tion.5.Significance and Use5.1 Some acids can be present in aviation turbine fuels dueeither to the acid treatment during the refining process or tonaturally occurring organic acids.Significant acid contamina-tion is not likely to be present because of the many check testsmade during the various sta
9、ges of refining.However,traceamounts of acid can be present and are undesirable because ofthe consequent tendencies of the fuel to corrode metals that itcontacts or to impair the water separation characteristics of theaviation turbine fuel.5.2 This test method is designed to measure the levels ofaci
