Test Method
Gum formed during fuel storage can deposit on induction system surfaces,
intake valves, stems and guides. To test for gum content, a 50mL sample
is evaporated in an aluminium block bath for a specified period under
controlled conditions of temperature and flow of air (aviation and motor
gasolines) or steam (aircraft turbine fuel).
Existent Gum Test Apparatus
Evaporates aircraft turbine fuel and motor and aviation gasoline samples under
controlled conditions in accordance with ASTM specifications. Consists of a
high temperature evaporation bath with 100mL test beakers and, for aircraft
turbine fuels, a steam generator and steam superheater.
