Field Evaluation of Particle Counter Technology for Aviation Fuel Contamination Detection - Fort Campbell
Abstract
The objective of this effort was to evaluate automatic particle counters for use in monitoring aviation fuel cleanliness at Fort Campbell Airfield. Online and laboratory instrumentation were both evaluated during the week long demonstration. Based on this evaluation it was determined light obscuration particle counter technologies are able to properly measure solid particles and provide an indication of particulate content levels present in fuels, and may be an appropriate replacement for the Army's existing filter effectiveness testing.
