STANDARDIZED CALIBRATING FLUIDS

Abstract

The standardized calibrating fluid project was initiated for the purpose of investigating available calibrating fluids and standardizing on one or more of these fluids for the calibration of all militay aircraft fuel metering components. After a lengthy series of fluid investigations and conferences, involving the Air Force, the Navy and appropriate sections of the aircraft and component industries, an agreement on the fluids to be used was reached. The project work has been concluded with the agreement on the provisions to be placed in the Specification MIL-F-702L;A, specifying normal heptane as the calibrating fluid to be used for all reciprocating engine fuel metering components and a special fluid for all jet engine fuel metering components.
