ASTM D7153-15e1 rus PDF

Full title and description

St ASTM D7153-15e1 rus — Russian-language edition/translation of ASTM D7153-15e1: "Standard Test Method for Freezing Point of Aviation Fuels (Automatic Laser Method)". This document specifies an automated optical (laser) procedure to determine the freezing point of aviation turbine fuels (and, where demonstrated, aviation gasoline). The Russian version reproduces the technical content of the ASTM 2015 edition (including editorial e1 revision) in Russian for use by laboratories, manufacturers, regulators, and other stakeholders that require a Russian-language copy.

Abstract

ASTM D7153-15e1 describes an automated laser/optical method for detecting the formation and disappearance of solid hydrocarbon crystals in aviation fuels and reporting the freezing point to the nearest 0.1 °C. The test cools a specimen under controlled rates while monitoring opacity and crystal detectors and records the temperature at which crystals last return to the liquid state. The Russian translation makes the standard accessible to Russian-speaking testing laboratories, fuel producers, and regulators while keeping the original method, acceptance criteria, and reporting requirements intact.

• Status: Superseded (original 2015 edition now superseded by later revisions; see Related standards for current active edition).
• Publication date: Current edition approved April 1, 2015 (published April 2015) — editorial designation e1. Russian translation publication date may vary by distributor.
• Publisher: ASTM International (Russian translation published/distributed by third‑party standards vendors).
• ICS / categories: 75.160.20 (Petroleum products; aviation fuels and related test methods).
• Edition / version: D7153-15e1 (Russian translation of the 2015 edition, editorial revision e1).
• Number of pages: 10 (matches the typical page count of the ASTM 2015 edition).

Scope

This test method covers determination of the temperature below which solid hydrocarbon crystals may form in aviation turbine fuels. The apparatus measuring range is from about −80 °C to 20 °C, with interlaboratory precision demonstrated over more limited freezing‑point ranges (typical validated reporting ranges near −70.3 °C to −35.3 °C depending on the interlaboratory study). The procedure is intended for laboratory use to support quality control, specification compliance, blending operations, and operational safety assessments for aircraft fuel systems.

Key topics and requirements

• Principle: automated laser/optical detection of crystal formation and disappearance under controlled cooling/warming rates.
• Cooling and warming profile: specimen cooled at approximately 10 °C/min (±5 °C/min) with specific warming ramps used to identify the last disappearance of crystals.
• Detection: simultaneous monitoring by crystal and opacity detectors; freezing point recorded when last crystals return to liquid as detected optically.
• Reporting: results reported to the nearest 0.1 °C; units in SI (°C) are standard.
• Applicability: developed for aviation turbine fuels; interlaboratory studies demonstrate applicability and precision for fuels within documented freezing‑point ranges.
• Safety and sample handling: standard notes requiring users to follow appropriate laboratory safety, environmental, and regulatory practices.

Typical use and users

Primary users include fuel testing laboratories, petroleum/blending plants, aviation fuel suppliers, aircraft operators and maintenance organizations, regulatory authorities, and research institutions. Typical uses are routine quality control, specification verification, acceptance testing for fuel deliveries, investigation of cold‑temperature performance, and laboratory method validation or training (including use of the Russian translation for Russian‑language personnel).

Related standards

Standards referenced or related to this test method include ASTM D2386 (manual freezing point method — note: D7153 is not a substitute where D2386 is specifically required), ASTM Practice D6300 (reporting of interlaboratory study results and associated reporting practices), and later revisions of this same test method (ASTM D7153-22 and more recent active editions such as D7153-25A). Users should check for the most recent active edition when specifying the test method.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ASTM D7153-15e1 is the 2015 (editorial e1) edition of the ASTM test method that specifies an automatic laser/optical procedure to determine the freezing point of aviation fuels. The "rus" edition is a Russian-language translation of that ASTM document.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the automated optical determination of the lowest temperature at which aviation fuel remains free of solid hydrocarbon crystals, including cooling/warming rates, detector requirements, test procedure, and reporting to 0.1 °C. The method is designed for a wide temperature measuring range but has documented precision over specified freezing‑point ranges demonstrated in interlaboratory studies.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Fuel laboratories, fuel producers and blenders, airlines, airport fuel handlers, aircraft maintenance organizations, regulators, and research labs — especially Russian-speaking teams when using the Russian translation.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The D7153-15e1 edition is a 2015 publication and has been revised in later editions. Users should reference the most recent active edition for contractual or regulatory work (later revisions include D7153-22 and, at the time of this product page, a D7153-25 series edition is available as the active revision). The Russian translation is a representation of the 2015 edition and not a substitute for any newer ASTM revision unless explicitly retranslated and republished for those later editions.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — D7153 is part of the family of ASTM test methods covering freezing/low‑temperature behavior of petroleum products and is issued under ASTM Committee D02 (Petroleum Products, Liquid Fuels, and Lubricants). It is associated with other related methods and practices (for example D2386 and D6300) and is periodically revised; successive editions carry the same D7153 designation with the year or revision suffix.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Freezing point, aviation fuel, jet fuel, automatic laser method, optical detection, crystal detection, D7153, Russian translation, fuel testing.
