FREEZING POINT APPARATUS (HPT-FP-A/B/C Series)

Test Method :-
The freezing point of an aviation fuel is the lowest temperature at which the fuel remains free of
solid hydrocarbon crystals that can restrict the flow of fuel. The temperature of the fuel in the
aircraft tank normally falls during flight depending upon aircraft speed, altitude, and flight
duration. The freezing point of the fuel must be lower than the minimum operational tank
temperature. The test determines the temperature below which solid hydrocarbon crystals form
in aviation fuels. The sample is cooled with continuous stirring in a Dewar-type sample tube
until crystals appear.
