This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) discusses the design choices and engineering trade-offs available to the system designer in the efficient selection and application of Last-Chance filters in contrast to main or primary system filters.

It discusses the design choices and engineering trade-offs available to the system designer in the efficient selection and application of Last-Chance filters in contrast to main or primary system filters.

This AIR discusses the nature, method of manufacture and chemistry of fine wire meshes of the type used for filtration and similar applications, and how this information may be utilized in setting up a quality control program to insure reliability of meshes used for such applications.

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) describes two procedures for sampling particles in dust controlled spaces. One procedure covers airborne dust above 5 μm. The other (and newly added procedure) covers particles of 25 μm and larger that “fall out” of the environment onto surfaces. In each case the particles are sized in the longest dimension and counted. Airborne particles are reported as particles per cubic meter (cubic foot) whereas particles collected in fall out samples are reported as particles per 0.1 square meter (square foot). This document includes English units in parentheses as referenced information to the SI units where meaningful. These procedures may also be used for environmental analysis where the quality of the particles by visual or chemical analysis is intended.

This ARP describes a gravimetric method for the determination of particulate contaminant in hydraulic fluids by the control filter technique. NOTE: With this method, detectable contamination levels down to 0.2 mg (7.0 × 10-6 ounces) per sample can be obtained with a standard deviation of ±0.1 mg (±3.5 × 10-6 ounces).

This procedure will be generally applicable to three classes of hydraulic components as listed below:

This test describes a self-checking procedure for the determination of particulate contaminant five microns or greater in size in hydraulic fluids by the particle count method. A maximum variation of two to one (±33% of the average of two runs) in results should be expected for replicate counts on the same sample, providing that the procedure is followed closely and the precautions presented on pages 10 and 11 of the procedure, regarding manipulation, check samples and self-checking aspects, are observed.

This method describes the procedure for (1) sampling air in contamination controlled spaces for air-borne particulate contamination 5μ or greater in size and for (2) the microscopic determination of the concentration and size range distribution of the particulate material removed from the air sample (Note 1).

This procedure describes a gravimetric method for the determination of particulate contaminant in hydraulic fluids by the control filter technique. With this method detectable contamination levels down to 0.2 mg per sample can be obtained with a standard deviation of ± 0.1 mg.

This aerospace recommended practice describes procedures for establishing a calibration curve for use with an automatic liquidborne particle counter (APC) and verifying the sizing and counting accuracy of the instrument.

This procedure will be generally applicable to three classes of hydraulic components as listed below:

These recommendations are written to cover the subject of obtaining filter patch test samples from aircraft hydraulic pumps of the categories shown below. The same procedure shall apply regardless of the pump drive category.

This report presents data on hydraulic fluids which are of interest to detail designers of hydraulic systems and components for military flight vehicles. The data pertain to fluids conforming to specifications MIL-H-5606, MIL-H-8446, MIL-H-27601, and MIL-H-83282.

This Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides: Recommended methods for cleaning sample bottles, when used, and the solvents to be applied and how these solvents should be prepared. Recommendations for three measuring methods for determining the level of solid particle contamination of hydraulic fluids used in aerospace hydraulics. Recommendations for the selection of the sampling point, sampling method, and the sampling frequency.

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides procedures for assuring cleanliness of sampling equipment, for performing the sampling process, and for measuring and reporting the sample particle count. The ARP gives procedures for cleaning sample bottles, when used, and recommends the solvents to be applied and how these solvents should be prepared. Requirements for the selection of the sampling point, sampling method, and sampling frequency are also specified. This ARP also recommends three measuring methods for determining the level of solid particle contamination of hydraulic fluids used in aerospace hydraulics. These are: a on-line automatic particle counting; b automatic particle counting method using bottle samples; c microscopic particle count method using bottle samples.
