Using the site-established method of collection, collect a one-gallon (3.8 liter)
sample of aviation fuel for each of three tests. Contain the sample in an approved
safety receptacle which holds at least 5 gallons (19 liters). Wear gloves and
protective eyewear. For consistency, the collection method should be the
same for all three tests.
2.3 Operating Instructions for Particulate Contaminants Test
Particulate matter in aviation fuel must be minimized to avoid filter
plugging and other operational problems. The Particulate Contaminants Test
allows you to measure and monitor the amount of particulate matter present in
the aviation fuel sample. (Testing methodology is in accordance with ASTM D
2276-88 .)
This section contains information on the required equipment and
expendable needed to perform the test, the two methods of particulate
contaminant analysis, and the test operating procedures.
