GOST 10227-86 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 10227-86 — "Топлива для реактивных двигателей. Технические условия" (English: "Jetfuels. Specifications"). A national/interstate standard that sets technical requirements, grades and testing/acceptance rules for jet fuels (aviation kerosenes such as TS‑1, RT, T‑1, T‑2 and related grades) used in turbine and other aircraft engines.

Abstract

GOST 10227-86 defines the composition, physical and chemical properties, safety and quality requirements, marking and acceptance rules for fuels intended for jet (reactive) engines. It establishes grades of aviation kerosene, permissible limits for key parameters (density, kinematic viscosity, flash point, freezing point, sulfur/mercaptan sulfur content, heat of combustion and others), and references test methods and related normative documents used to verify compliance.

General information

• Status: Active (in force; interstate/national standard)
• Publication date: Approved 21 November 1986; came into effect 1 January 1987 (with later reissues/updates)
• Publisher: Gosstandart (State Committee for Standards of the USSR) — currently maintained/issued within the Russian standards system (Rosstandart / interstate standard bodies)
• ICS / categories: 75.160.20 (Fuels — aviation kerosenes / petroleum products)
• Edition / version: Original designation 10227-86 (1986). Reissues and republications with amendments published (notably reprints in 2008/2009 and a series of amendments issued in 1991, 1995, 1999, 2008–2012 and later updates).
• Number of pages: Approximately 13 pages (typical reprint/compiled edition)

Scope

The standard applies to fuels for jet (reactive) engines and covers commercially supplied aviation kerosenes and similar turbine fuels. It is intended for use in production, quality control, procurement and regulatory oversight where standardized specification of jet fuel properties and testing is required. The document replaces earlier editions (for example ГОСТ 10227-62 and ГОСТ 16564-71) and is referenced by downstream normative documents and test standards.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of fuel grades and intended applications (e.g., TS‑1, RT, T‑1, T‑2 and other classified types).
• Mandatory physical and chemical property limits: density at 20 °C, kinematic viscosity, flash point, freezing/low‑temperature behavior, heat of combustion, fractional composition and distillation limits.
• Limits on sulfur content, mercaptan sulfur and other corrosive or contaminant parameters relevant to engine and system integrity.
• Safety, storage and handling requirements (classification as flammable liquids, recommended storage periods and conditions, anti‑corrosion measures).
• Acceptance rules and sampling procedures for lot inspection and dispute arbitration.
• References to specific test methods and normative documents (GOST test methods for density, viscosity, distillation, sulfur analysis, heat of combustion, etc.).
• Requirements for marking, labelling and documentation accompanying fuel consignments.

Typical use and users

Primary users are petroleum refiners and fuel producers, aviation fuel terminals and distributors, airline and military fuel procurement and logistics organizations, quality control and testing laboratories, certification bodies and regulators. The standard is used to specify product quality for sale, to define acceptance criteria in contracts and tenders, and to support safe storage and handling practices for aviation kerosenes.

Related standards

GOST 10227-86 is linked with a set of petroleum and testing standards. Key related documents include earlier versions replaced by it (ГОСТ 10227-62, ГОСТ 16564-71), and numerous GOST/GOST‑R test and safety standards referenced for individual methods (for example standards for density, viscosity, distillation, heat of combustion and sulfur determination). It is also coordinated with technical regulations and conformity documents that apply to fuels in the relevant jurisdictions.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 10227-86 is the Soviet/Interstate standard specifying technical conditions for fuels for reactive (jet) engines — commonly used to define the composition and quality requirements for aviation kerosenes.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers grades of jet fuel (e.g., TS‑1 and related types), sets limits for key physical and chemical properties, safety and storage requirements, sampling and acceptance rules, and references to test methods needed to verify compliance.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Refiners, fuel producers, fuel terminals and distributors, airlines and military fuel services, testing laboratories, procurement specialists and regulatory or conformity assessment bodies responsible for aviation fuel quality and safety.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 10227-86 edition remains an official/interstate standard in the Russian standards system; it has been reissued with amendments and continues to be used. Standards bodies have issued reprints and updates over time, and modernization or replacement work has been reported (ongoing updates of fuel standardization may be in progress). Users should check the national standards catalogue or the issuing body for the very latest status and any newly published replacement.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes. GOST 10227-86 forms part of the suite of petroleum product standards covering fuels and testing methods. It replaces earlier GOST editions for jet fuels and references a broad set of companion GOST/GOST‑R documents that specify test methods and related safety/packaging requirements.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Jet fuel, aviation kerosene, TS‑1, specifications, fuel properties, GOST, fuel testing, flash point, freezing point, sulfur content.
