Aviation Fuel Testing

Microbial Testing Of Aviation Fuel

The value of microbial testing for aviation fuel is gaining traction in the aviation industry. Aircraft OEMs are recognizing that unchecked microbial contamination in aircraft fuel systems can compromise materials and pose serious (and expensive) warranty and service issues.

Testing of fuel samples gives the aviation user the kind of window into their system’s microbial presence that would be impossible to get through filter inspection. This kind of testing allows the user to make decisions that will save them a planeload of time, money, and hassle later on.
