Jp54 – Aviation Kerosene Colonial Grade 54 Jet Fuel
Jp54 is an abbreviation for “Jet Propulsion (JP) and Colonial Grade 54
During the refining process only 15% of the crude oil is made up of JP54 the rest of the grade is used for different types of byproducts such as plastic.
This was developed by JP Morgan Colonial grade JP54 was replaced by AVGAS or known as AVGAS100LL, it’s the number one low sulfur content kerosene used worldwide.
National standards apply for aviation fuels in many countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Japan, China, Spain and Sweden.
JP54 powers gas turbines aircraft engines. Jet A and A1 have specifications that can be used in fuel worldwide. Jet B is used in cold weather elements.
The most common fuel is an unleaded/paraffin oil-based fuel classified as JET A1, which is produced to an internationally standardized set of specifications.
In the United States only, a version of JET A1 known as JET A is also used.
The only other jet fuel that is commonly used in civilian aviation is called JET B. JET B is a fuel in the naptha-kerosene region that is used for its enhanced cold-weather performance.
However, JET B’s lighter composition makes it more dangerous to handle, and it is thus restricted only to areas where its cold-weather characteristics are absolutely necessary.
Jet fuel is a mixture of a large number of different hydrocarbons. Kerosene-type jet fuel (including Jet A and Jet A-1) has a carbon number distribution between about 8 and 16 carbon numbers (carbon atoms per molecule); wide-cut or naphtha-type jet fuel (including Jet B), between about 5 and 15 carbon numbers.

Type Jet A1
Jet A1 is a kerosine grade of fuel suitable for most turbine engined aircraft.
It is produced to a stringent internationally agreed standard, has a flash point above 38°C (100°F) and a freeze point maximum of -47°C.
It is widely available outside the U.S.A. Jet A-1 meets the requirements of British specification DEF STAN 91-91 (Jet A-1), (formerly DERD 2494 (AVTUR)), ASTM specification D1655 (Jet A1) and IATA Guidance Material (Kerosine Type), NATO Code F-35.
-
Type Jet A
Jet A is a similar kerosine type of fuel, produced to an ASTM specification and normally only available in the U.S.A.
It has the same flash point as Jet A1 but a higher freeze point maximum (-40°C). It is supplied against the ASTM D1655 (Jet A) specification.
-
Type Jet B
Jet B is a distillate covering the naphtha and kerosine fractions.
It can be used as an alternative to Jet A1 but because it is more difficult to handle (higher flammability), there is only significant demand in very cold climates where its better cold weather performance is important.
In Canada it is supplied against the Canadian Specification CAN/CGSB 3.23

Military Usage:
JP-4 is the military equivalent of Jet B with the addition of corrosion inhibitor and anti-icing additives; it meets the requirements of the U.S. Military Specification MIL-PRF-5624S Grade JP-4. JP-4 also meets the requirements of the British Specification DEF STAN 91-88 AVTAG/FSII (formerly DERD 2454),where FSII stands for Fuel Systems Icing Inhibitor. NATO Code F-40.
JP-5 is a high flash point kerosine meeting the requirements of the U.S. Military Specification MIL-PRF-5624S Grade JP-5. JP-5 also meets the requirements of the British Specification DEF STAN 91-86 AVCAT/FSII (formerly DERD 2452). NATO Code F-44.
JP-8 is the military equivalent of Jet A-1 with the addition of corrosion inhibitor and anti-icing additives; it meets the requirements of the U.S. Military Specification MIL-T-83188D. JP-8 also meets the requirements of the British Specification DEF STAN 91-87 AVTUR/FSII (formerly DERD 2453). NATO Code F-34.
