Description

TS*1 and RT are two aviation turbine fuels defined by the Russian specification GOST *******6







(latest revision). According to a British Airways report, TS*1 is the most widely used jet fuel in







the C.I.S. [6] TS*1 is produced by straight atmospheric distillation from a high sulfur crude, half







of which is hydrotreated and the other half a straight-run product which may have had mild







caustic treatment. RT is a higher quality fuel that can be produced from straight run or







hydrotreated kerosene; additives may be included to improve its properties. RT has improved







lubricity properties and a wider boiling range. The major distinction between these fuel







specifications and Jet A/Jet A*1/JP*8 specifications is the lower minimum flash point of *8°C as







compared to *8°C.
