Abstract
Description
Safety is of utmost essence in the aviation sector, both on-ground and in the air. Aviation
Turbine kerosene (ATK) commonly referred to as Jet fuel is one of the major resources of the
aviation sector, contributing significantly to the operating cost of an airline. Flight safety is a
top-notch requirement in air transportation management. Jet fuel quality affects flight safety,
and this makes it mandatory to ensure that, at all points in the jet A-1 aviation fuel supply chain,
the jet fuel is contamination free and on-spec. Jet fuel quality is determined via various
mandatory Joint Inspection Group (JIG) based quality analysis test procedures; both baseline
and extensive lab tests by third party labs. Acceptable parameter range has been established for
each jet fuel property, the electrical conductivity of jet A-1 fuel must be between 50 to 600 pS/m
and the density at 15C must be between 0.775 to 0.840 g/cm3. Beyond this range, the fuel is
deemed off-spec and unsafe for into-plane fuelling operations. This data article presents daily
jet fuel test records for jet-A1 fuel. The dataset contains the date of the test, the conductivity,
the specific gravity at ambient temperature, the converted specific gravity at 15C, and the
temperature of the jet fuel sample under study. All the tests were performed at standard
laboratory conditions using approved and certified equipment. The dataset provides an
opportunity for developing a predictive model that can be used for jet fuel properties prediction
on a given day, based on previous data trends and analysis using data pattern recognition, as an
indication of the variation of jet fuel properties with daily weather variation.
