Standard Method for Hydrogen Content in Fuels

The hydrogen content of aviation fuel is an important parameter as it determines the combustion properties of the fuel. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance offers the opportunity to monitor the hydrogen content of fuels rapidly, non-destructively and with minimal sample preparation.

This Application Note outlines the determination of the Hydrogen content in fuels using  NMR spectroscopy, and details the calibration procedure, the results and the advantages offered by a benchtop NMR spectrometer.
