Unleaded aviation gasoline.

摘要

An unleaded aviation gasoline composition which comprises a blend of hydrocarbons and at least one cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl compound dissolved therein in an amount such that the composition has a minimum knock value lean rating octane number of 100 as determined by ASTM Test Method D2700 and wherein Motor Method octane ratings are converted to aviation ratings in the manner described in ASTM Specification D910-90, the composition being further characterized by having: a) a distillation temperature by ASTM Test Method D86 of 10% evaporated, 167 DEG F maximum temperature; 40% evaporated, 167 DEG F maximum temperature; 90% evaporated, 275 DEG F maximum temperature; and a final boiling point of 338 DEG F maximum temperature; the sum of the 10 and 50% evaporated temperatures being 307 DEG F minimum; the distillation recovery being 97% minimum; the distillation residue being 1.5% maximum; and the distillation loss being 1.5% maximum; b) a heat of combustion by ASTM Test Method D1405 and as calculated from Table 1 thereof of 18,720 btu per pound minimum, or a heat of combustion by ASTM Test Method D2382 of 18,700 btu per pound minimum, the latter method controlling in case of a discrepancy therebetween; c) a vapor pressure by ASTM Test Method D323 or D2551 of 5.5 psi minimum and 7.0 psi maximum; d) a copper strip corrosion by ASTM Test Method D130 of number 1, maximum; e) a potential gum (5-hour aging gum) by ASTM Test Method D873 of 6 mg per 100 mL maximum, or a potential gum (16-hour aging gum by ASTM Test Method D873) of 10 mg per 100 mL; f) a sulfur content by ASTM Test Method D1266 or D2622 of 0.05% by weight maximum; g) a freezing point by ASTM Test Method D2386 of -72 DEG F maximum; and h) a water reaction by ASTM Test Method D1094 wherein the volume change, if any, does not exceed +/- 2 mL.
