Test Kit for Captured Fuel
TM 5 6630 217-10
Preparation For Use
When the kit is removed the box and unwrapped, it is ready for use and no
assembly is required. The kit should be inspected for physical damage or
leakage of the fluid standards at the time of receipt. Damaged test kits should
be disposed d and replaced. No provision for maintenance exists.
General Theory Operation
The test kit consists of three pieces: The transit case, the tester and an
operating instructions card.
Transit Case
The transit case has three functions:
1. As a transport and storage case for the tester.
2. As a shock absorption unit to protect the tester (The case holds the tester In
place by means of integral "Leaf Springs").
3. As a transit container for receiving and transferring the fuel sample. (The
housing may not be needed as a transit container, however it is designed to
serve this purpose if required).
The Tester
This is the unit that performs all of the specified test functions of the "Captured
Fuel Test Kit" It also serves as a holder for the operating instructions card,
which slides into slot brackets on the back d the tester.
Three separate determinations are made using the tester. The order of testing
is: A: Visual Contamination Level B: Specific Gravity C: Viscosity.
Order of the test is Important to allow time for temperature equilibration of the
fuels under test with the standard fluids In the tester.
If the test kit has been used previously, it must be rinsed with the test fuel
before filling.
To begin the test, the tester is held inverted (caps up) with the filling ports of the
two test chambers upright and open to receive the test fluid. Test fluid is
poured first Into chamber #4 to the top. The cap is snapped shut.
