Abstract
The existing Engine Laboratory method of calculating the specific gravity of aviation jet fuels, at temperatures other than standard, was suspect of lacking in accuracy. A limited survey of approaches taken by other agencies revealed a certain commonness amongst them, traceable to work done by Barnett and Hibbard. A modified version of the Barnett-Hibbard equation was published by Chin and Lefebvre, which appears to provide the most accurate calculation method of specific gravity to date.
