 ASTM International’s subcommittee on aviation fuels (D02.J) is sponsoring the Workshop on ASTM Standard D3241 Technical Issues, December 5, 2017, at the Mariott Marquis Houston, Texas, U.S.A. The workshop will take place in conjunction with the December standards development of ASTM committee on petroleum products, liquid fuels, and lubricants (D02).

There are a number of technical issues surrounding the aspects of the ASTM Standard Test Method for Thermal Oxidation Stability of Aviation Turbine Fuels (D3241) that can affect potential decisions on how to change or improve the method.

Topics for this event include:

• Historic review of the origin and structure of standard D3241,
• Technical review of challenging issues,
