This specification covers requirements for the acquisition of two types and two classes of material that will remove or loosen carbon from components of internal combustion engines and compressor sections of jet engines.
This document details the technical requirements to be used in the evaluation of materials and processes developed for use in stripping organic finishes from fixed wing commercial aircraft. The requirements herein are intended to ensure that the materials and processes used are not detrimental to the commercial aircraft when used as specified. These requirements are not intended to judge performance of the stripping method.
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) covers a laboratory procedure for determining the cleaning efficiency of aircraft turbine engine gas path cleaners. Results are indicative of cleaning compound performance in the compressor sections of installed aircraft turbine engines, when used in a starter crank/soak/rinse application.
This specification covers a ready-mixed thixotropic compound in the form of a stable film-forming compound suitable for application by brushing or spraying.
This specification covers a concentrated rust removing compound in the form of a liquid to be diluted with water for use either at ambient or elevated temperature.
This SAE Standard specifies requirements for a foaming liquid cleaning compound which, when diluted with water 1:9 v/v, is suitable for cleaning the soiled exterior of Service aircraft. The cleaning compound may be applied by spraying, either as foam or liquid, by brushing or by swabbing. The surfaces to be cleaned may be unpainted metal or surfaces painted with glossy or matt schemes, including strippable acrylic paint complying with DTD 5599. This Standard includes tests to limit specific forms of corrosion that affect aircraft structural materials.
This SAE Standard specifies requirements for a gelled compound for cleaning the soiled exterior of service aircraft. The cleaning gel may be applied by pressure pump as a thixotropic liquid, by brushing or by swabbing. The surfaces to be cleaned may be unpainted metal or surfaces painted with glossy or matt schemes, including strippable acrylic paint complying with DTD 5599. This Standard includes tests to limit specific forms of corrosion that affect aircraft structural materials.
