4-1.1 Flow Diagram (P&ID) - Cont'd.
sampled at the discharge of the filter separators to assure quality. The meter in the hoseline to the dispensing assembly
records quantities dispensed. The dispensing assembly is designed to load fuels into transport or user vehicles. If called
for in the mission of the specific TPT, the hoseline system can be connected such that the TPT can discharge fuel to an
associated pipeline system. A meter is provided to measure this flow. If desired in a multiple TPT system, which may
include an extended common switching manifold, the discharge hose system from each fuel unit can be tied back into
the appropriate dedicated header so that fuel can be transferred to another TPT on the same switching manifold. The
P&ID flow diagram also shows an optional tank configuration which can be used to supplement the 5,000 bbl tanks as
desired by the operating authority. Specific operating and valve positioning instructions for most all potential operations
are covered in Section III.
4-1.2 System Hydraulics
Installation and operating authorities should be aware of the fact that if hoseline lengths, or pipeline lengths, or elevation
differentials between modules deviate from the concepts of the layouts shown in this manual, flow rates and pressure
drops will vary from one TPT to another. This is not considered to be a potential problem except in the case where the
delivery pressure to the TPT is substantially below the design pressure of 150 psig or if it is necessary to have longer
lengths of transfer hoseline than considered in this typical TPT manual. In the event that these deviate conditions are
encountered, the responsible installation and operating managements are referred to the system hydraulic data contained
in Chapter 2, Section V, for guidance.
4-2 Fuel Quality Assurance
Quality assurance is of utmost importance to the operation of the TPT. Firm quality checking procedures must be
established to assure that the TPT receives and dispenses only fuels which meet U.S. Army standards. It is not within
the scope of this manual to detail the fuel quality assurance program. U.S. Army standard procedures should be
utilized. The reader should refer to the U.S. Army and other applicable military standards which include:
MIL-HDBK-200F
Military Standardization Handbook
Quality Surveillance Handbook for Fuels, Lubricants and Related Products
FM-18
Petroleum Terminal and Pipeline Operations
FM 10-70
Inspecting and Testing Petroleum Products
FM 10-72
Petroleum Testing Facilities: Laboratories and Kits
This manual offers guidance and recommendations on sampling, sample points, frequency of sampling, on-site testing,
and criteria for requesting laboratory service.
