JET-A density vs temperature
JET-A density vs temperature
(OP)
Is there a useable formula to correlate temperature to fuel density particularly Jet-A ? I am aware of the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion value of 999 x 10E-6 (ie .00099) per Deg C but reluctant to use this as there may be other variables to consider... Trying to plan airplane fuel requirements in gallons since most flight planning systems work in pounds.

Unless anyone can advise any specific constants to use other than the default values then I think this will suit but you'll need to convert from kg/m3 to whatever alternative you need.
