Replacement of Obsolete Tube Deposit Rater (TDR) with Ellipsometer for Jet Propellant Thermally Stable (JPTS) (MIL-DTL-25524) Conformance

Abstract

This report contains a summary of the project to validate the use of the ellipsometric tube (deposit) rater (ETR) in place of the obsolete/unsupported tube deposit rater (TDR) in the JPTS specification MIL-DTL-25524. A corollary effort was conducted to validate the use of the interferometric tube rater (ITR) as well. Both the ETR and ITR were found to be a suitable replacement for the TDR, and the transition partner (Air Force Petroleum Agency) proceeded with a plan to replace all of the TDRs with ETRs. The project was funded by the AFRL Sustainment Office (PE 63199F).
