Abstract

Introduction This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is intended as a guide toward standardization of descriptions and specifications of fluid contamination products. Scope and Field of Application This document discusses descriptions of fluid contamination products. These contaminants are used for design evaluation and formal component qualification/certification testing. Such tests are routinely performed on candidate aircraft engine fuel and pneumatic system components. Typical of these components are fuel pumps, fuel filters, fuel controls, pressurizing valves, flow dividers, selector valves, and combustor nozzles. The purpose of this document is to recommend standard descriptions to be used by specification writers. This document does not address fluid contaminants that may ingress into fuel from other fluid systems, such as hydraulic or lubrication fluids, or aircraft deicing fluids, all of which have well-defined specifications. It also does not address contaminants encountered in fuel transport and handling, such as FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) or SAP (super absorbent polymer); these contaminants are not typically specified for component qualification/certification testing.
