During receipt through dedicated pipeline, after displacement of the product
already in the line and an additional quantity of 50 KL, the product sample
ex filters /strainers/Line (bottom) shall be checked for Test ‘H’ every 10
minutes for the first half an hour and compare the density with the parent
tank density. Thereafter, product shall be checked for Test ‘H’ every one hour.
If product is from separate tanks with different densities, frequency of checking
every 10 minutes for first half an hour shall be done after receipt of interface of
tanks & an additional quantity of about 50 KL.
If density variation is more than ± 2.5 Kg/m3, pumping should be stopped
immediately & investigate reasons. Pumping shall be recommenced only after
necessary corrective action is taken.

Refueller is to be positioned on the refueller loading point & wheel chocks placed
in position. Bonding & earthing connections are to be made. The mobile storage
tank bottom sample to be checked & recorded in Quality Format QF-401.
The refueller is then put in the “top up” mode by operating the refuel/top up”
control valve on the refueller to the “top up” position.
The Reel hose is hooked up to the loading adaptor & the loading line of the
valves on refueller are opened.
Valve on mobile storage is then opened after ensuring that the delivery line flow
meter (if available) is reset to zero & valve of 1micron filter vessel is kept open.
Engage the PTO of the mobile storage refueller to start the loading Operation
Dead man switch of the mobile storage refueller to be pressed to commence the
transfer. Check the flow meter to ascertain the flow of product.
Usually refuellers are topped up to full capacity after each refueling operation,
by referring to top-up flow meter (if provided), or fill mark provided in the tank.
In case the refueller is to be topped up to a specific level, this may be done using
a dip rod and calibration chart. However, it should be ensured that the refueller
top up is physically verified from the tank manhole at least once a shift.
During top up, the line filter separator sump sample is subjected to Visual Check
Test ‘F’ (Section 5.5.6 of the Aviation Quality Control & Assurance Manual).
After a settling period of 10 minutes refueller tank bottom sample is checked for
“Test F” (Section 5.5.6 of the Aviation Quality Control and Assurance Manual).
All the previously opened valves on the refueller & the loading point are closed
and the bonding connections removed. The dust caps are replaced on all the
loading nozzles, refueller adaptors & sample points.
The refueller is placed back at its parking place.

5. Quality control checks on storage tanks
Status Signs: The inlet and outlet valves of each tank shall be labeled with
a signboard indicating the status of each tank (e.g. Receiving, Settling,
Quarantined or Released). When the status of the valves changes, the signboard
shall be changed immediately to reflect said changes.
If remote control valves are used, similar signs on a mimic panel may be
substituted for the signs at the tank shell.
Stored product is subjected to daily morning quality control checks to prevent
water/sediments accumulation at tank bottoms. The bottom samples of storage
tanks are subjected to Test ‘F’ and recorded in QF-302.-Static Equipment Quality
Inspection Log.
To prevent water/sediment accumulation, product shall be drained from tank
bottom after heavy rains and checked as per Test ‘F’ and recorded in QF-302 .
Copper Strip Corrosion Test (as per IP:154/ ASTM D-130) and Silver Strip
Corrosion Test (as per IP:227) is carried out on the Bottom Sample of each
storage tank once a month. The same is recorded in QF-305 Copper/Silver
Corrosion Test Record and QF-310 Copper/Silver Corrosion Test Report.
If the product is more than six months old after the initial certification, it shall be
tested for recertification as per Test ‘D’ & retested every three months thereafter.
The date of test report issue shall be taken as the date product certified/
recertified. Whenever a product is recertified, the lab shall indicate, Reasons
for testing - “Recertification” in the test report issued.
If tank to tank transfer of product is done to meet operational exigencies,
within 3 to 6 months of certification, the product shall be released only after
carrying out Test ‘B’. Product shall not be delivered from the storage tanks
if it becomes due for recertification, until satisfactory test report is available.
If the product is dormant for one year or more, it shall be tested for Test “A”
before making deliveries.

Test “F” for clear and bright product and absence of water or sediments. Tank
shall be selected which meets the quality control criteria of settling time.
The top up hose is hooked up to the loading adaptor and the loading line valves
on the refueller are opened.
The valve on the loading point on the gantry is then opened after ensuring that
the delivery line flow meter (if available) is reset to zero.
In case of manual systems, the pumps are operated manually to start the loading
operation. In case of automated systems, the pumps start automatically on
sensing the drop in pressure and flow requirement.

The Refueller loading operation should always be done under the supervision of
competent personnel. The loading operation should not be left unattended.
Usually, Refuellers are topped up to full capacity after each refuelling
operation. This is done, by referring to either the top-up flow meter (if provided),
or the fill mark provided in the tank.
In case the refueller is to be topped up to a specific level, this may be done using
a dip rod and calibration chart.
During top up, the line sump sample filter separator in the loading is
subjected to Visual Check Test ‘F’ and recorded in QF-302-Static Equipment
Quality Inspection Log.
After a settling period of 10 minutes the refueller tank bottom sample is checked
for “Test F” and recorded in QF-401- Mobile Equipment Quality Control and
Refuelling Log .
Update all quality control records as applicable.
All the previously opened valves on the refueller and the loading point are
closed and the bonding connections removed. The dust caps are replaced
on all the loading nozzles, refueller adaptors and sample points.
The refueller is placed back at its parking place.

8. Refuelling equipment fortnightly flushing
When preparing for fortnightly flushing of Refuellers/Dispensers, see if all tools
are available for removal of nozzle, strainer, Block out device, sealing wire, lead
seals etc.
Remove the LHS reel hose nozzle, break open the seal and connect the same
to the “Flushing Drum”. Open the isolation valve in the line and the nozzle handle
so that the product from the hose can be emptied in to the drum.
Place a 1 Litre sampling Bottle at the bottom of the pipe in the sampling drum so
that sample can be collected.
Perform Test “F” and “G” on the sample and record in QF-402.
Loosen the screws at Quick Disconnect and remove the nozzle from the Quick
Disconnection Joint keeping the strainer in the nozzle.
Now remove the nozzle and inspect for sediments, rubber particles, any paint
flakes, rupture or any other material and investigate if anything found.
Reconnect the nozzles to the quick disconnector.
Repeat procedure Number 2 to 7 for all other hoses fitted with delivery nozzles.
In case Over-wing nozzle is fitted on any of the hoses, the procedure will be the
same. However the nozzles have to be removed without using the flushing drum.
Now start Equipment & ready equipment for flushing. In both cases, whether it is
Refueller or Dispenser the equipment has to be connected to a test rig and not to
the Re-circulation line. In case of Refueller, if test rig is not available at Location,
then the hose shall be connected to the re-circulation line of another refueller.
Caution : Note availability of ullage in receiving refueller to avoid overflow.
Start circulation & establish full flow rate through equipment. Observe & record
maximum flow rate .
Close test Rig Valve/Re-circulation Valve slowly till flow rate just starts reducing.
Then close valve further to ensure full stoppage in 2 Seconds. Note reading of
nozzle downstream pressure Gauge (Maximum 120 psi).

It has to be ensured that all hoses are connected and flushed as above during the
Flushing Operation.
Now the defuelling system has to be checked using one reel hose in the case of
Refueller. Drain some product in a half cut drum, connect a sprout to the reel hose
nozzle and insert in the product in the half-cut drum.
Operate the defuelling system and check for proper functioning. The handle in
the nozzle and isolation valves in the line need to be opened.
It has to be ensured that the defuelling system is working properly & continuous
withdrawal of product is happening from the half cut drum. To keep the level
in the half cut drum, continuous draining of product from the filter may be ensured
(By controlling the filter sample line valves).
Record Differential Pressure, Nozzle pressure, Initial Meter Reading, Final Meter
Reading, flow rate and total flow through the meter during the fortnightly
flushing Operation of Equipment.
Once all the operations are over as above, stop the equipment, disconnect all
the hoses etc.
Again remove the nozzle and if the nozzle strainer is in good condition, refit the
same after cleaning the same with ATF & with air under pressure. If the strainer is
ruptured, replace the same with new one.
Reconnect the nozzles to the quick disconnector and seal the same with sealing
wire and seals.
Re-circulate product to check for leaks & keep the vehicle in the parking space.

10. Approaching aircraft & positioning the vehicle
When the aircraft parking position/bay is known, the refuelling equipment and
crew shall proceed to the fuelling area in advance of the aircraft arrival so that
the refueling equipment may be moved promptly to the aircraft when it arrives.
The vehicle brakes should be checked before approaching the aircraft.
Fuelling of aircrafts shall only be done outdoors & not less than 50 meters away
from any building.
Refuelling equipment shall be operated carefully on periphery roads & apron
& speed shall not exceed approved limits for the airport. If the speeds are not
specified at any airport, the following speeds may be taken into consideration:
On the periphery roads :30 kmph.
On the Apron : 15 kmph.
Approaching aircraft : 5 kmph.
Use of a mobile phone while driving a fuelling vehicle is strictly prohibited.
Vehicles shall not approach aircraft until aircraft anti-collision lights have been
switched off.
The approach to an aircraft shall be such that in the event of the vehicle’s brake
failure, collision will be avoided. The crewman, who shall get down from the
refueling equipment when the refueling equipment is about 50 feet from the
aircraft, should guide the equipment under the wing.
The order of arrival of support equipment is generally prescribed by airline, with
stairs or aerobridge being positioned first. Refuelling equipment shall arrive
strictly on time in order to avoid congestion & possibility of fuelling delays. This is
important for large refuellers, which require a substantial area for manoeuvring.
Wherever possible, refuelling equipment should be moved in forward direction.
If moving a refuelling equipment in reverse is necessary in & emergency then two
guides (crewman, supervisor or assistance from airline) shall be used, one
located at front in the driver’s direct view, & other at rear but visible to driver
through rear view mirror. One (1) guide shall be used for smaller vehicles. Airline
ground crew assistance and concurrence should be sought for this manoeuvre.

Vehicles shall be positioned safely, taking account of the following:
Extreme care should be taken to avoid the possibility of collision with any part
of the aircraft or ground servicing equipment whilst manoeuvring into (and away
from) the fuelling position.
Fuelling staff shall ensure that clear path is maintained to permit rapid removal
of fuelling equipments in case of emergency. While placing the Refuelling
equipment oblique approach to the aircraft shall be followed. The refuelling
equipment shall never be reversed towards the aircraft.
Aircraft vent pipe safety zones (minimum 3 metre radius), APU exhaust efflux
or other danger areas should be avoided.
Vehicle delivery hoses & hydrant servicer inlet hoses should be positioned to
minimise risk of baggage handling equipment or other aircraft servicing vehicles
driving over them & causing damage.
If underwing deck hoses are to be used, hoses can be connected to aircraft
fuelling point without exerting sideways pressure which can damage aircraft
adapters. connected hoses should hang freely & vertically from fuelling point.
Special precautions shall be taken to ensure that vehicles used for underwing
fuelling have sufficiently low profile for this purpose.
Additional factors to consider when positioning at an aircraft include:
minimum hose length exposed to other traffic, effective control and safety
monitored by refuelling staff, efficient deployment & recovery of hoses, possibly
avoid any part of vehicle in line with aircraft engine exhaust ensuring if deck
hoses can hang freely & vertically (without sideways pressure) from aircraft
adaptors.
During position driver shall not leave cab until parking brakes have been
applied & locked in position. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to ensure
that fuelling vehicles can be positioned safely relative to the aircraft as
described above and to take action with the airport authority or airport safety

Unreel & securely connect the bonding reel wire to designated point on aircraft.
If no point is designated, select a point (preferably with assistance of the aircraft
operator) which is bare metal but not to:
Any part of wheel assembly (there may be no continuity to rest of the aircraft);
Any radio antenna;
Any polished, sliding or stressed components such as undercarriage details, flap
tracks or propellers. Suggested components suitable for bonding include the lip
around many fuelling panel access doors or other similar apertures. This should
however be done only after obtaining the clearance from the aircraft engineer.
Connect delivery hoses to aircraft. Ensure that bonding of nozzle to aircraft is
done before nozzle is connected to aircraft adaptors. Open nozzle valve. See if
opening lever handle is in over centre position. See if aircraft connection adaptor
is secure by attempting to remove nozzle with nozzle handle in locked position.
Remove hydrant pit cover & remove any dirt or water on adapter surface.
Attach lanyard to hydrant pit valve & extend lanyard towards operating position
& clear obstructions. See if pit valve is closed by activating lanyard to close it.
Connect intake hydrant coupler to pit valve. Do not actuate hydrant pit valve until
fuelling is to start.
To improve visibility of hydrant pit valve, high visibility hazard marker shall be
displayed above pit opening. A flag constructed from high visibility material is
recommended. But alternative designs/equipments providing similar degree of
all round visibility may be used.

Place the traffic cones during operations in position for segregating the area.
Note & record accurate meter totalizer readings. Do not use totalizer readings
from previous delivery.
Open manual fuelling valve on aircraft, if provided. (In case of Boeing B-707
should’nt open manual tank distribution valves till tank load distribution is known.
QC check test “F” & “G” to be performed on line sample drawn from outlet of
filter monitor vessel or filter water sump. On airline representative advise,
delivery starts , open hydrant pit valve & actuate deadman control to start flow.
If so requested by airline, after start of flow to aircraft; approx.1000 litres will
ensure most dispensers have been flushed of fuel from previous delivery before
taking sample.
The showing of the sample and microdetector capsule check results to the airline
representative is desirable to facilitate the acknowledgment of acceptance of
water & particulate free delivery in the Aircraft Delivery Receipt.
Hand hold open deadman control throughout fuelling & maintain clear view of
dispenser control panel & aircraft fuelling points. Where deadman timers are
installed, deadman should be actuated in frequency with setting to avoid fuelling
interruption.
Note: All Electrical deadman systems include a deadman override. It should be
preferably of spring loaded, push button type. In case no spring return deadman
override switches are used same need to be properly sealed in inoperative
position at all times other than for emergency use. Whenever used during
refueling, it should continuously attended by refueling operator/supervisor.
Deadman over ride switch should be used only for completing ongoing refueling
& deadman should be repaired before it is taken for next refueling.
During fuelling, occasionally check vehicle, inlet & all delivery hoses for leaks,
aircraft fuel vents for overflow & monitor dispenser gauges for operation within
limits, particularly differential & fuelling sense pressures.

Record Inlet pressure, Nozzle Pressure, differential pressure & flow rate of the
refuelling when differential pressure is noted. Be alert to respond to instructions
from the airline representative, or to situations requiring emergency action.
Note: If fuelling sense (venturi) pressure is greater than maximum indicated on or
adjacent to aircraft gauge (HPCL limits for same is 50 psi unless a lower limit is
prescribed for aircraft) while fuel is flowing, the fuelling should be stopped since
the secondary pressure controller (the Pressure Control Valve) is apparently no
longer able to limit steady flow pressure to a level which is safe for the aircraft.
On completion of fuelling & after confirmation from airline representative, close
hydrant valve & accurately record meter totalizer readings & delivered quantity
on ADR & Equipment book.
Perform after fuelling quality control checks Test “F” & “G” on the sample drawn
from filter water separator sump or the outlet side of the filter monitor vessel.
Disconnect nozzles & attach dust covers; retrieve hoses & securely stow nozzles in
holders. Do not remove ladder or lower lift platforms until airline representative
has completed his check of the adapters, etc., and has completed panel work.
Disconnect inlet coupler, replace dust covers on hose coupler & hydrant adapter.
Retrieve inlet hose & securely stow nozzles & inlet coupler in holders.
Obtain the required signature from the Airline representative in the ADR.
Before removing dispenser on completion of fueling, do final check, including
complete “360 Degree” walk around vehicle to see if aircraft fuel caps have
been refitted, & fuelling vehicle is properly disconnected from aircraft & that all
equipments are stowed correctly.
See if all hoses are properly stowed & lift platform & rails are fully retracted.
Disconnect & retrieve bonding, grounding wires & see that no items are left
behind.
Drive dispenser off moving in a forward direction. If reversing is necessary due to
congestion, concurrence of airline staff should be taken. Equipment should be
properly guided out of its position.

QC check Test “F” & “G” to be performed on the line sample drawn from the tank
bottom and outlet of the filter monitor vessel or filter water sump. When airline
representative advises that delivery can start, engage pump, open flow valves
and actuate deadman control to start flow. Gradually advance engine speed
control to the desired flow rate if this function is not automatic.
Perform quality control checks on line sample drawn downstream of the filter
water separator or filter monitor before commencement of refueling.
The showing of the sample and micro detector capsule check results to the airline
representative is desirable to facilitate the acknowledgment of acceptance of a
water and particulate free delivery in the Aircraft Delivery Receipt.
Hand hold open deadman control throughout fuelling and maintain a clear view
of the dispenser control panel and aircraft fuelling points. Where deadman
timers are installed, the deadman should be actuated in frequency with the
setting to avoid interruption to the fuelling;
Note: All the Electrical deadman systems include a deadman override. This
should be preferably of the spring loaded, push button type. In case no spring
return deadman override switches are used the same need to be properly
sealed in the inoperative position at all times other than for emergency use.
Whenever used during refueling, it should be continuously attended by a
refueling operator/supervisor. Deadman over ride switch should be used only
for completing the ongoing refueling and the deadman should be repaired
before it is taken for the next refueling.
During fuelling occasionally check vehicle & delivery hoses for leaks, aircraft fuel
vent for overflow & monitor refueller gauges for proper operation within limits,
particularly differential & fuel sense pressures. Be alert & respond to instruction
from airline representative or to situations requiring emergency action.
Adjust engine speed as required by delivery conditions.
On completion of fuelling & after confirmation from airline representative,
disengage pump & accurately record meter totalizer readings.

13. Overwing fuelling
The following special precautions shall be adhered to for overwing fuelling:
For fuellings attended by the flight crew or aircraft operator, ensure there is a
fuel grade decal or other sign writing around or adjacent to the aircraft fill
aperture to identify clearly the grade of fuel to be used in this aircraft.
It is preferable that details are received in writing with due endorsement from
the airline representative as per QF-407 Refuelling Request.
If there is no grade marking on the aircraft or if it is a non schedule flight, fueling
shall not commence until a Refueling Request (QF-407) reconfirming grade of the
fuel required has been filled/completed, by airline representative/operator.
If it is necessary to climb onto any part of the aircraft to gain access to fill points,
do not wear footwear with protruding nails or studs since these may cause
damage to the wing surface of the aircraft.
Do not carry loose items such as pens, pencils or loose change in the pockets of
shirts or jackets since these may fall into the aircraft tanks.
Ensure the grade of fuel is correct for the aircraft. Nozzle spouts used for fuelling
jet aircraft must be of the flattened type with a major axis dimension of at least
67mm to prevent misfuelling of aircraft requiring Avgas.
However, few jet aircraft have apertures too small to accept a 67mm dimension
& some AVGAS aircraft have apertures large enough to accept 67mm nozzles.
It is therefore essential to have the Refuelling Request duly filled before the
commencement of the refuelling.
Ascend, if applicable, to wing top area from wing leading edge. Take care not to
step or walk on prohibited wing areas, particularly the trailing edge or flaps.
Use ladders with padded ends and use mats to protect wing leading edges.
Do not route hoses over trailing edges.

Position hose on the ladder, not along side. Ensure that mats protect wing edge
from hoses.
On all aircraft fuelled with overwing nozzles, it is necessary to avoid:
1.Mechanical damage to the floor of the aircraft tank from:-
o Having a nozzle spout of excessive length or
o Having an excessively powerful jet of product from the nozzle;
2.Static electricity build up from splash filling, this shall be prevented by
ensuring if the ends of nozzle used for a particular aircraft reaches within few
inches of floor ofaircraft tank or surface of product already in tank or filling
takes place at reduced flow until end of the nozzle is covered by product;
Check if overwing nozzles do not have ratchet lugs or other mechanical devices
to hold nozzle open. Overwing nozzles shall not be wedged open under any
circumstance;
Touch nozzle to a bare metal part of the aircraft before opening the access door.
Bond the overwing nozzle to the aircraft if this is possible before removing the fill
cap. Maintain bonding until the cap is replaced.
Adjust fuelling rate to meet aircraft operator’s specified conditions provided
operator’s requirements do not conflict with the procedure in this manual.
Have available a clean waterproof tarpaulin to cover nozzle and fill opening
during rains or thunder storms. Do not use a chamois leather or any other type of
strainer at the aircraft fill opening when fuellingjet aircraft.
In wet or dusty conditions, it may be necessary to block gap between nozzle &
filler or fix with a clean, lint-free cloth made from natural fibers.
Ensure the tank is vented adequately for this procedure;
Maintain close coordination with airline representative at fuelling panel gauges.
If specification of product in aircraft tank is unknown, defuelled product shall
be segregated.

14. Defuelling of aircrafts
If the specification of product in aircraft tank is unknown, defuelled product shall
be segregated.
Before defuelling, the samples from the Aircraft tanks shall be taken and
examined in a clear glass bottle & all water drained till a bright & clear sample
is obtained by the Airline /Oil Co. The sample shall then be checked for Test ‘H’
and Test “G”.
Refueller Tank bottom sample shall also be checked for Test F and Test G before
defueling the product from the Aircraft.
After defuelling, the product in the refueller shall be settled for 10 minutes and
a tank bottom sample shall be tested for Test ‘F’ and Test G
If a sample from the Aircraft tanks prior to the defuelling is found to be suspect
and if the defueling is still to be done, the product shall be defuelled directly into
the receptacle, segregated & downgraded. Suspect fuel is defined as follows:
Fuel known to be contaminated.
Unknown grade or type of fuel/specification.
Fuel defuelled due to accident or other unusual conditions.
Mixture of different grades of Aviation Fuels.
In case an aircraft holding dormant fuel of acceptable specifications for more
than 2 months, either fuel shall be segregated or subjected to Test ‘D’ before
defuelling. No defuelled product shall be taken back into the hydrant system or
into the storage tanks at the Aviation Service Facility.
If defuelling of the suspect fuel defined in clause is done by the refuelling
equipment, the equipment used shall be thoroughly drained and flushed with
fresh product before reuse. The drained & flushed product shall be downgraded.
Usually the defuelled product should be returned to the same aircraft or to the
same aircraft operator.
The applicable records like QF-402 the Mobile Equipment Quality control and
Refuelling Log should be updated while undertaking the defueling operation.

Defuelling - Aircraft Accident:
If aircraft runs off runway or apron, or sustains any other accident on ground, it
may be necessary to offload large quantities of fuel under conditions where
aircraft fuel pumps may not be usable. Aircraft may also be located in area
inaccessible by normal vehicle operations.
Under such conditions suitable auxiliary pumping equipment & extra hoses may
be required to unload aircraft & move fuel to point where it can be carried away
by refuellers or tank trucks.
Volume of fuel involved may be high, number of such vehicles could be required.
This is an unusual occurrence & it may be difficult for HPCL to do it alone.
Assistance from & to other industry members should be given & taken. Such
defuellings should be clearly noted on ADR.

15. VVIP aircraft refuelling
General:
•Aircraft used to transport Very Very Important Person (V.V.I.P) is termed as
V.V.I.P aircraft. Aircraft used may be operating as a regular commercial flight or
special flight operated only for V.V.I.P. The following are designated as VVIPs:
o President of India. o Vice President of India.
o Prime Minister of India. o Any Foreign dignitary of Equivalent Status.
Refuelling of a V.V.I.P. aircraft is a special type of operation where, due to
importance of the persons aboard the aircraft, certain security precautions have
to be taken, which necessitates adoption of special procedures.
Programme of refuelling V.V.I.P., aircraft is conveyed by the airline concerned
minimum 2 days in advance.
DGCA is to be intimated of the programme and coordination maintained
with the officer nominated by DGCA to oversee the programme.
List of officers who will attend refuelling operation (including those from DGCA)
is given to Security Branch/Protection Group of CID for issuing VVIP passes.
One copy of the list of personnel is also sent to the Airline concerned.
Refuelling by a Refueller:
Two days prior to the refuelling, one refueller & storage tank are designated for
use in VVIP refuelling programme. One standby refueller is also designated.
The refuellers are topped up from the storage tank identified.
Four 2 litre samples (Composite of nozzle, tank and filter) are drawn from the
designated refuellers in the presence of DGCA, CID and SPG (if applicable).
One sample each is kept by DGCA, SPG and HPCL. The fourth sample is sent to
the nearest HPCL Lab for Batch Formation Test (Test B) under CID protection.
The refuellers are circulated & tested for proper functioning. The readings of the
flow meter(s) are noted & recorded. Millipore Match Weight and Visual tests are
performed. The Millipore Match Weight cartridge is sent to HPCL lab for testing
under CID protection. The Millipore Visual membranes are kept by SPG.

On the day of refuelling, seal of the tank is broken in presence of DGCA, CID &
SPG. Two dispensers (one as standby) are tested by circulating product from
designated tank. Readings of flow meter are noted & recorded. Millipore Match
Weight and Visual tests are performed. Millipore Match Weight cartridges are
sent to the Lab for testing under CID protection. The Millipore visual membranes
are kept by SPG. While circulating product, the circulated product is not taken
back into the designated tank but received into any other tank at the ASF.
The dispensers are then sealed at all outlet and inlet points. The designated tank
continues in delivery to the Hydrant System so that the line quantity in the Hydrant
line is replaced with product from designated tank before the VVIP refuelling.
Copies of the Batch Formation Test and Millipore Match Weight test reports are
given to SPG, DGCA and CID.
On the day of refuelling depending upon the schedule of departure of the
aircraft, DGCA and CID officials are called in and the nominated dispenser is
taken towards the aircraft at the specified time. When the aircraft is ready for
refuelling, the dispenser is hooked up to the aircraft. Refuelling is carried out as

16. Copper corrosion and silver corrosion tests
a)A 1 litre bottom sample from the storage tank is drawn in a glass bottle.
b)Preparation Of Strip (Common for both Copper and Silver)
Remove all surface blemishes from all the six sides of the strip with
silicon carbide paper sufficiently fine to accomplish the desired results.
Finish with 240 grade silicon carbide paper removing all marks that may
have been made by other grades of paper.
Immerse strip in Iso-Octane till final polishing just before commencement
of test.
Remove the strip from the Iso-Octane and, holding by the fingers protected
by ashless filter paper, polish first in the ends and then the sides with 150-
mesh silicon carbide grains picked up from a clean glass plate with a pad
of cotton wool moistened with a drop of the Iso-Octane.
Wipe vigorously with fresh pads of absorbent cotton and subsequently
handle only with stainless steel forceps.
Clamp in the "Strip Vice" and polish the main surfaces of the strip by
rubbing the silicon carbide grains on cotton pads along the long axis of
the strip.
Clean all metal dust from the strip by wiping with fresh cotton pads until
a fresh pad remains unsoiled.
Immerse the strip in the sample as described below within one minute of
the final polish.
c) Test Method : Copper Test
30 ml of the sample is taken in the test tube and the copper strip placed in it.
The test tube is then placed in the "Test Bomb".

17. Conductivity measure procedure
a) PREPARATION OF SAMPLE:
The sample container (preferably a 1 litre metal container) should be cleaned &
rinsed with the fuel to be tested. After the sample for test has been withdrawn,
wait approximately two minutes for charges in the fuel to dissipate.
b) TEST PROCEDURE:
Attach probe to bottom connector on conductivity meter.
Depress MEASURE switch (M) with probe OUT of fuel sample. Reading should be
000 +/- 001 in approximately 3 seconds.
If reading is outside limits, remove probe & recheck zero by depressing switch.
If zero adjustment is okay without probe but not when probe is attached,
the probe should be thoroughly rinsed with isopropyl alcohol and allowed to air
dry before retesting for zero.
Depress CALIBRATE switch (C) with probe OUT of fuel sample. After 3
seconds, reading should be 10 times the probe calibration number +/- 005.
For Example :
a) If Probe No. = 40Meter Reading = 400 +/- 5 or 395 to 405
b)Insert probe in fuel to upper holes and depress MEASURE switch.
c) Report displayed reading after 3 seconds. (Due to the polarization of the
fuel sample the apparent reading will continue to change. Only the reading
3 seconds after depressing the MEASURE switch is correct).
d) Note: If a “1” is displayed on the left side of the display, the conductivity
level exceeds the upper range of the meter.
Note:
a) The conductivity should range between 50 and 600 PS/M.
b) If the conductivity does not meet required specified range then the
procedure for handling nonconforming product will be followed.

18. Millipore test procedure
This test is carried out when the filter to be tested is in operation.
The Millipore monitor & Millipore membrane is put in Millipore test apparatus.
The inlet of the apparatus is then connected to the corresponding adaptor
provided on the outlet of the filter.
A small quantity of product (minimum 2 litres) is flushed through equipment by
using 3 way valve provided on apparatus to ensure cleanliness of apparatus
before test starts.
A predetermined quantity of the product is then passed through the monitor
fitted in the apparatus. The monitor is then taken out for analysis.
There are 2 types of Millipore tests carried out on filter separator having a minor
difference in the type of membranes and the analysis of result as given below.
a) MILLIPORE VISUAL TEST
In this test the millipore monitor has a single membrane which is inserted in the
monitor just before the start of the test by the person performing the test.
A total of five litres is passed through the membrane and the membrane removed
immediately after the completion of the test and its colour compared with a
standard ASTM chart (in scale B).
Results up to a level of B-6 are acceptable.
This test is done on all filters once a month.
