ASTM D7826 - Evaluation of New Aviation Gasolines and New Aviation Gasoline Additives 

We perform testing according to test methods and procedures outlined in ASTM D7826, a guide for developing data used in research reports for new aviation gasolines or new aviation gasoline additives. ASTM D7826 is specifically intended for aviation fuel research and development, and can be used to evaluate the suitability of fuel for use as an aviation fuel in a fleet-wide or limited capacity.
