Designation:D545220An American National StandardDesignation:423/97Standard Test Method forParticulate Contamination in Aviation Fuels by LaboratoryFiltration1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5452;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers the gravimetric determinationby filtration of particulate contaminant in a sample of aviationturbine fuel delivered to a laboratory.1.1.1 The sample is filtered through a test membrane and acontrol membrane using vacuum.The mass change differenceidentifies the contaminant level per unit volume.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.For specific hazard statements,see 4.2,7.3,7.5,11.2,andX1.7.2.Before using this standard,refer to suppliers safetylabels,material safety data sheets,and technical literature.1.4 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D56 Test Method for Flash Point by Tag Closed Cup TesterD93 Test Methods for Flash Point by Pensky-MartensClosed Cup TesterD1193 Specification for Reagent WaterD1535 Practice for Specifying Color by the Munsell SystemD2244 Practice for Calculation of Color Tolerances andColor Differences from Instrumentally Measured ColorCoordinatesD2276 Test Method for Particulate Contaminant in AviationFuel by Line SamplingD3828 Test Methods for Flash Point by Small Scale ClosedCup TesterD4306 Practice for Aviation Fuel Sample Containers forTests Affected by Trace ContaminationD4865 Guide for Generation and Dissipation of Static Elec-tricity in Petroleum Fuel SystemsD6615 Specification for Jet B Wide-Cut Aviation TurbineFuelD8194 Practice for Evaluation of Suitability of 37 mm FilterMonitors and 47 mm Filters Used to Determine Particu-late Contaminant in Aviation Turbine Fuels3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 bond,vto connect two parts of a system electricallyby means of a bonding wire to eliminate voltage differences.3.1.2 ground,vtto connect electrically with ground(earth).3.1.3 membrane filter,na porous article of closely con-trolled pore size through which a liquid is passed to separatematter in suspension.3.1.3.1 DiscussionResearch Report RR:D02-10123con-tains information on membrane filters that have historicallymet the requirements of the method and are still consideredsuitable.Practice D8194 contains the test methods and accep-tance criteria for suitable membrane filters.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products,Liquid Fuels,and Lubricants and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D02.J0.05 on Fuel Cleanliness.Current edition approved Sept.1,2020.Published October 2020.Originallyapproved in 1993.Last previous edition approved in 2012 as D5452 12.DOI:10.1520/D5452-20.This test method has been separated from D2276 and has been modifiedprimarily to establish improved safety measures.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Supporting data(including a list of suppliers who have provided data indicatingtheir membranes,field monitors,and field monitor castings)have been filed atASTM International Headquarters and may be obtained by requesting ResearchReport RR:D02-1012.Contact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.13.1.4 particulate,adjof or relating to minute separateparticles.3.1.4.1 DiscussionSolids generally composed of oxides,silicates,and fuel inso
