JP-4 (JET FUEL 4) 64-7
64.1 MAJOR USES AND COMPOSITION
64.1.1 Major Uses
Jet Fuel 4 (JP-4) is a turbine engine fuel used exclusively by the
U.S. Air Force; it constitutes 85% of the turbine fuels used by the
Department of Defense (1933).
64.1.2 Composition
Jet fuel petroleum products are made by blending various proportions
of distillate stocks such as naphtha, gasoline and kerosene to
meet military and commercial specifications. Most of the available
characterization data (e.g., military specifications) address gross
performance properties. There is considerable variability in the
concentration of major components, as well as in the performance
characteristics, of JP-4 fuel derived from different crude oil supplies
(1843,2246,2247,2251). In general, the reported distillation range for
JP-4 fuel is approximately 14O'C-27O'C (1844); most of the hydrocarbons
fall in the range of C, to C,,. A typical JP-4 composition expressed
as percent volume by compound category has been reported (1845) to be:
paraffins (61%), monocycloparaffins (24%), dicycloparaffins (5%) 9
alkylbenzenes (8%), indans and tetralins (1%) and naphthalenes (
