4、.73 megajoules per kilogram or17 280 to 19 230 Btu per pound.The precision for estimationof the net heat of combustion outside this range has not beendetermined for this test method.1.2 This test method is purely empirical and is applicable toliquid hydrocarbon fuels that conform to the specificatio
5、ns foraviation gasolines or aircraft turbine and jet engine fuels ofgrades Jet A,Jet A-1,Jet B,JP-4,JP-5,JP-7,and JP-8.NOTE1The experimental data on heat of combustion from which theTest Method D3338 correlation was devised was obtained by a precisionmethod similar to Test Method D4809.NOTE2The esti
6、mation of the net heat of combustion of a hydrocarbonfuel is justifiable only when the fuel belongs to a well-defined class forwhich a relation between heat of combustion and aromatic and sulfurcontents,density,and distillation range of the fuel has been derived fromaccurate experimental measurement
7、s on representative samples of thatclass.Even in this case,the possibility that the estimates may be in errorby large amounts for individual fuels should be recognized.The fuels usedto establish the correlation presented in this method are defined as follows:Fuels:Aviation gasolineGrades 100/130 and
8、 115/145(1,2)2Kerosines,alkylates,and special WADC fuels(3)Pure hydrocarbonsparaffins,naphthenes,and aromatics(4)Fuels for which data were reported by the Coordinating ResearchCouncil(5).NOTE3The property ranges used in this correlation are as follows:Aromaticsfrom 0 mass percent to 100 mass percent

11、ound units by Test Method D1405 or in SI units by TestMethod D4529.Test Method D1405 requires calculation of oneof four equations dependent on the fuel type with a precisionequivalent to that of this test method.Test Method D4529requires calculation of a single equation for all aviation fuelswith a
12、precision equivalent to that of this test method.UnlikeTest Method D1405 and D4529,Test Method D3338/D3338Mdoes not require the use of aniline point.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this stan
