Product Code:SAE ARP1797
Title:Aircraft and Aircraft Engine Fuel Pump Low Lubricity Fluid Endurance Test
Issuing Committee:Ae-5b Engine Related Components Airframe-Mounted Pumps
Scope:This procedure is intended to apply to fuel pumps.This procedure will be defined in terms of recommended test fluid, test setup, test conditions, and test method.This procedure may be used for other fuel system components, by testing in conjunction with the pump, which normally supplies the component inlet flow, or a substitute test pump of similar capacity.This procedure may be used, with variations in test conditions and test fluid for performing pump evaluation tests. Tests at progressively increasing pump speeds and pressures will provide design limitation data. Alternate test periods on a test pump and another pump, of a design for which actual service durability is known, will provide useful comparison data and also provide a monitor on test fluid condition..
