Jet A LHV
Jet A LHV
(OP)
I think this is a better forum than where I first posted.
Does LHV for a tank of Jet A change with time? If so, how much? What LHV accuracy should I expect when I send a sample to a lab to be tested?
We get LHV value when the fuel is delivered and we check it once a month. Would we be better off checking it within a day or two after every delivery? This would allow for the new fuel to mix with the old.
Thanks,
Roger

RE: Jet A LHV
If you want to see less variability in your measurements, have the lab record the LHV in BTU/lb. You'll see smaller variations and you can use the density to see the LHV in each batch.
