Introduction

The International Association for Stability, Handling and Use of Liquid Fuels, IASH, was founded in 1986. The purposes of the Association are to promote research and experimentation on the scientific and operational factors that affect the stability and handling of liquid fuels during their manufacture, blending, transportation, storage and use; and to provide a forum for the exchange of related ideas and information. Liquid fuels include crude oil and its refined products; products derived or processed from oil shale, tar sands, coal and natural gas; alternate fuels, and reformulated fuels such as those containing oxygenated components.

To accomplish its purposes and to promote a better understanding of the problems associated with the stability and handling of liquid fuels, IASH publishes a biannual newsletter, sponsors international conferences and publishes their proceedings. The Newsletter provides members with a medium for publishing notes on research in progress, discussing a problem that has been encountered with the stability and/or handling of a fuel, or commenting on some related technical issue of a general interest. IASH is an international, non-governmental, interdisciplinary, volunteer association. Membership is open to all individuals and organizations subscribing to its purposes. The Newsletter is published biannually by the International Association for the Stability, Handling and Use of Liquid Fuels. A subscription is included with membership in the Association

Further information pertaining to IASH, including membership and availability of past conference proceedings, is available from the secretariat:
