Rapid, visual inspections carried outat various locations in the fuel supply system are a critical part of the inspection program. Experiencehas shown that subjective evaluations

However, the present test method also includes field methods appl

Summary of Test Method4.1 The test method describes two types of sampling con-tainers for evaluating the appearance of aviation fuel samples.Proce

15、dure A covers transparent sample containers, includingthe open jar and the closed circuit sampler, while Procedure Buses opaque containers such as the white bucket.4.2 In the open jar procedure, a minimum of 750 mL (24 oz)of fuel is placed into a clear one litre (1 qt) container andexamined visually

16、. The jar is then closed and the sample isswirled and examined for visual sediment and water at thebottom of the vortex. Additionally, fuel clarity may be rated byplacing a standard bar chart behind the sample and comparingits visual appearance with the standard haze rating photo-graphs. The presenc

17、e or absence of free water and of particu-lates is reported.4.3 In the closed circuit sampler procedure, approximately3500 mL (0.9 U.S. gal) of fuel is placed into the sampler and isexamined for clarity and for visual sediment or water dropletson the bottom of the sampler. Additionally, fuel clarity

18、 may berated by placing a standard bar chart behind the sample andcomparing its visual appearance with the standard haze ratingphotographs. The presence or absence of free water and ofparticulates is reported.4.4 In the white bucket procedure fuel to a depth ofapproximately 15 cm (6 in.) is collecte

19、d in a white porcelaincoated or stainless steel bucket. The sample is examined forsolids or sediment, or both, on the bottom of the bucket.Sample clarity can be checked by the appearance of a small,shiny coin on the buckets bottom. If the fuel is dry, the raisedletters on the coin should be easily r

20、eadable. The amount ofsediment can be described by a letter category using a ratingguide.4.5 In both procedures, the sample is inspected for color orother unusual appearance.4.6 Field inspection procedures are performed immediatelyafter sampling at fuel handling temperature conditions.5. Significanc

21、e and Use5.1 The two procedures in the test method provide rapidmethods for field detection of free water and solidcontaminants, or any other visually apparent contamination.Uncertain or marginal results by either of these methods wouldnormally result in the performance of methods such as D2276,D545

22、2,orD3240 for quantitative determination of contami-nants.5.1.1 Particulate determination in appearance tests is sensi-tive to sampling procedures. The presence of a small number ofparticles may indicate, for example, that the sample line wasnot flushed to provide a representative sample. The persis

23、tentpresence of even a small number of particles, however, may because for further investigation depending on the situation.5.2 Experience has shown that an experienced tester using aclear bottle can detect as little as 40 ppm of free, suspendedwater in the fuel. Thus, a fuel rated as clear and brig

24、ht can stillfail lower limits set by quantitative methods. A rater will alsohave difficulty resolving particles smaller than 40 m. Smallerparticles must be determined by other than visual methods suchas D2276, D5452 or chemical field tests listed in Manual 5.55.3 Experience has shown the visual appe

25、arance of fuel in awhite porcelain bucket to be the most suitable method for thedetection of dye contamination or other unusual discoloration.In the U. S., the white porcelain bucket is used to detect thedye.6. Apparatus6.1 Cylindrical Clear Container, such as:6.1.1 Clear Container, with lid, capabl

26、e of holding 750 mL(nominal 1 U.S. qt) of fuel and having a diameter of 100 mm6 10 mm (4 in. 6 0.4 in.). There should be no gasket in the lid.6.1.2 Closed Circuit Sampler, holding about 4 L (1 gal U.S.)of fuel and being permanently mounted to receive fuel from afuel line or a storage tank and having

27、 inlet and outlet valves tocontrol filling and emptying of the container. The sampler baseis normally conical and incorporates the fuel inlet and outlet.The fill port is designed to cause the fuel to swirl around thesides of the clear glass tube. The circuit sampler may alsocontain hydrometer and ch

A fuel sample rated clear andbright will have a rating of “one.”6.2.2.1 The differences between these haze levels are arbi-trary and ar

It is essential,therefore, that only the proper approved bar charts and photo-graphs be used.6.3 Opaque Sample Containers:6.3.1 White Bucket, a circular bucket with straight butnon-parallel sides and a flat b

Porcelain coatings must be free of dark spots, chips, orother surface damage, most particularly on the bottom of thebucket. Stainless steel bu

The white porcelainbucket should be used for the optimum detection of unusualcoloration.NOTE 1A quantitative description of acceptable white color is inpreparation.NOTE 2Buckets made of white, hard plastic have been f

The use of plastic containers is also discouraged unlessprovision is made for bonding such containers to the filling line.5Manual 5, Aviation Fuel Quality Control Procedures, 2nd Ed., ASTMInternatio

The particlerating scale does not bear a direct relationship to the mass ofparticulates but is simply a way of communicating the amountof visible particulates in the sample.7.

(WarningFlammable, keep away from heat,sparks, and open flames.)7.2.4 Draw the sample continuously, opening the valvecompletely to obtain a full flush. Do not open or close taps orvalves during sample draw

Immediately check for evidence of water orparticulate contamination by holding the sample to the lightand visually examining for

41、 haze or lack of clarity. Close thecontainer and swirl the sample to produce a vortex andexamine the bottom of the vortex for particulate matter andwater droplets. Also look for brown slime or a water layer onthe bottom of the container. Record the particulate and waterappearance rating of the sampl

42、e using the ratings in Tables 1and 2. Record the appearance of any other contaminant usingTable 3 as a guide. Record the ambient temperature.8.1.1.2 Use of Bar Chart and PhotographsImmediatelyon drawing a sample, place the container into a well-lightedarea, avoiding light reflections on the front of

43、 the container asmuch as possible. Place the bar chart directly behind thecontainer, with the lines toward the container and parallel withthe bottom of the container. The narrowest line should be at thebottom of the container. Directly facing the container and barchart, compare the appearance of the

44、 bar chart through thesample with the standard photographs. Place the photographsnext to the container so that they are lighted similarly to thesample. Select the photograph closest in appearance to thesample. Notice that the differences between photographs con-sist both of the successive disappeara

45、nce of lines as well as thegradual lightening of all the lines. Record the number of thethinnest line which is visible through the sample, or record“six” if no lines are visible.8.1.2 Closed Circuit Sampler:8.1.2.1 With fuel flowing under pressure in the main fuelline, open the fill valve wide, fill

(CautionThe visual results may differfrom the photographs if the circuit sampler has a diameterdifferent from that of the 100 mm (4 in.) jar used in theph

47、otographs.)8.1.2.3 Examine the glass sampler for hazy/cloudy condi-tions and the bottom for water droplets, solid contaminants,brown slimes, or a combination thereof. Record the particulateand water appearance ratings of the sample using the ratings inTables 1 and 2. Record the appearance of any oth

48、er contami-nant using Table 3 as a guide. If desired, the bar chart andphotos can be used to rate sample clarity as described in8.1.1.2. Record the ambient temperature.NOTE 3While small water droplets and air bubbles may appearsimilar, air bubbles will rise while water droplets will settle upon stan
