Test Kit for Captured Fuel
TM 5 6630 217-10
Next, the test fluid is poured into chamber #2 so that it is even with chambers 1
and 3, this cap is then closed, this fluid level requires more cars and the
operator should insure that the fluid levels in chambers 1, 2, & 3 are even. The
time taken to introduce the two samples and begin the test is adequate to allow
the density indicator in chamber #4 to equalize its temperature with the test
sample; and for the sample in chamber #2 to equalize its temperature with the
standard fluids on either side. After filling, the tester is inverted so that the
filling ports are at the bottom d the tester and the module numbers can be read
left to right 1,2,3,4.
Testing
WARNING
Do not smoke or use an open flame in the
vicinity where captured fuel is being tested.
Failure to comply may result in physical
injury.
WARNING
Wear eye protection to avoid splashing fuel
in eyes. Failure to comply may result in eye
injury.
The first test is accomplished by looking through the test sample in chamber #4
at the grid lines, if the lines are not visible, the fluid being tested is not
acceptable and the testing of the sample is terminated.
(By specification the fuel is deemed to hew an excessive level d suspended
solids and/or emulsified water if the grid lines cannot be seen). If the grid lines
"e fully visible through the sample, the test is rated "GO" or acceptable, and the
operator proceeds with testing.
The second test is for specific gravity and also takes place in chamber #4 The
density indicator (float) equalizes its temperature with the sample It sits in The
design d the density indicator it to sink in a fuel sample whose specific gravity
less than 0.78 (At 25 degrees Celsius) and to float in a fuel sample with a
specific gravity d 0.78 (At 25 degrees Celsius) or higher. If the float sinks or
remains suspended below the GO/NOGO line, the fuel being tested is not
acceptable and the testing of the sample is terminated.
