JET-A1 density depending on fuel temperature
Hi gents,
I'm looking for the relationship between temperature and density for JET-A1 fuel. On the web I was able to find the density range only (.775 - .840), but not the correlated fuel temperatures. I would like to know how exactly the density changes when the fuel temperatur varies (e.g. during flight or due to mixing during refuelling).
Anybody in the postion to help? Either formula or table would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers and kind regards,
MAX

Ask and ye shall receive.
Each line is a specific density of jet fuel so find the one you want, and you can follow it through. Table courtesy of THIS website.

This document is broadly used by industry and regulators.

See page 25 for Jet A density vs temperature characteristics.
