There are two main types of jet fuel used for commercial turbine engines. The vast majority of turbine engines use a kerosene type of fuel, labeled Jet A-1 or Jet A. A blended kerosene and gasoline type, considered "wide-cut" and labeled Jet B, is rarely used except in very cold climates. Military jet fuels use variations of these two fuels, with the majority using the kerosene-type jet fuel.
- - Determine the number of gallons of jet fuel to be weighed.
- - Select the conversion factor, determined by the type of fuel. For kerosene types of fuel, use 6.76 pounds per U.S. gallon. For wide-cut kerosene types of fuel, use 6.36 pounds per U.S. gallon. If you are uncertain of the fuel type, use the standard kerosene type fuel conversion, since the other type is rarely used.
- - Multiply the number of gallons by the conversion factor. As an example, a Boeing 747 holds 57,164 gallons of fuel. Multiplying this by 6.76 pounds per gallon gives you the total fuel weight of 386,429 pounds.

Difference between vitamin A1 and A2?
The only difference between vitamin A1 and A2 is of a bond in the ring.
How much does 1 liter of Jet A fuel weigh?
It depends on the type of aviation fuel that you are talking about though the SG (specific gravity) of AVCAT+FSII is around 0.8200 - 0.8400 Kg/L. So the SG of water is 1.000Kg/L therefore if water is 1kg/L AVCAT is 0.82Kg/l. Another example ist he JET A1 with a density of 0.804 g/cm3.

Does jet fuel melt steel beams?
It doesn't dissolve steel beams, but jet fuel can under some conditions burn hot enough to at least soften steel beams, which can cause them to collapse if they're under load.The open air burning temperature of jet fuel A or A1 (the most common types of commercial jet fuels in the US) is about 2000 degrees Fahrenheit or less; most steels melt at about 2500 Fahrenheit, so if you just lay a beam on a puddle of burning fuel it's unlikely to melt. However, that much heat will cause the steel beams to expand, and if they're bolted together that will disrupt the stability of a structure... in addition to the softening (structural steel loses about 50% of its strength at as low as 1100 degrees, and over 1800 degrees the figure is closer to 90%).Also, in a forced air draft jet fuel burns considerably hotter than it does if it's just sitting there in still air. Under optimal conditions ... such as those found in a jet engine ... jet fuel may burn at closer to 4000 degrees.
How much is a1 mile in a kilometer?
One mile is 1.6 Km.
Is Jet a sold in gallons or liters?
The fuel for Jet aircraft, Jet A and Jet A1 is usually sold in weights, this being Kilograms or Pounds.
Convert 20000kgs of jet a1 fuel with a specific gravity of 0.86 to liters?
20000 kgs divided by 0.86 gives 23255.813 m3 of aviation fuel. 23255.813 multiplied by 1000 to convert m3 to litres, gives 23,255,813 litres of fuel.
What is jet fuels freezing point?
Jet-a -40 jet-a1 is -47 c
What is JET A1?
It is a special kind of fuel used in jet planes
What is the density jet a1?
It depends upon the temperature.
Airbus 320 use what type of fuel?
The Airbus A320 uses Jet A / Jet A-1 type fuel
The name of fuel that the plane uses?
Avgas, or if it has a jet engine, it would use either Jet-A1 or Jet-B fuel.
Is kerosene is used in aircraft?
Not as such. The most popular fuels sold at commercial airports are Jet-A and Jet-A1, both of which are highly purified forms of kerosene. If you just buy a hundred gallons of stove oil from the farm supply store in an emergency, the plane will run on it but you can kiss your fuel filters goodbye.
How much does jet a1 fuel cost?
The price for jet a1 fuel varies over time. In March 2013, the price was 303.0 US cents per gallon. Converted to barrels, this would be 127.2 US dollar per barrel.
What kind of fuel do the Boeing 747 jumbo jet airplane use?
Jet A, Jet A1, Jet A50, JP 4, JP 5, JP 8, Jet B, RT and TS-1. All are kerosene based fuels.
What the range of density of jet A1?
Kerosene type BP Jet A-1, 43.15 MJ/kg, density at 15 C is 804 kg/m3
