Survey of Fossil Vertebrates from East-Central Kansas, Kansas River Bank Stabilization Study
Abstract
This test assessed the operational effectiveness and suitability of the newly designed Universal 1-75 Ton Jack Tester (UJT). The UJT is designed to test all aircraft jacks from 1-75 tons. Two vertical columns approximately 20 feet tall are bolted to the base. An electronic load cell is mounted to a horizontal beam that is adjustable to accommodate various jacks. The UJT was not capable of testing aircraft jacks using dynamic test procedures in the specific jack technical order. The UJT was capable of static testing aircraft jacks using procedures in Technical Order 35A2-2-55-3. The UJT was not tall enough to test all aircraft using specific jack technical order procedures. The UJT was unsafe and not suitable in the operational environment due to the load beam binding and the vertical columns swaying. The bolts that attached the vertical columns to the top and the base are too short. Pins for the load beam would not fit the top holes of the vertical columns. The USAFMC conducted this test in FY 94 at Charleston AFB SC. HQ AMC/LGF and SA-ALC will use the results of this test as a basis for a production decision.
