Army's Evalution of Aviation Fuel Contaminants Using Electronic Sensors

Abstract

This publication primarily applies to electronic sensors that could be used on mobile into-plane fuelling equipment, in conjunction with filtration equipment. In addition to the design and functional requirements that apply to every sensor produced by a manufacturer, it also includes standardized laboratory testing protocols for the "first article testing" of a make/model/version of a sensor. These cover performance verification in response to dirt and free water contamination challenges, testing of mechanical integrity in response to pressure and material compatibility.
