Designation:D227622Designation:216/05(2005)Standard Test Method forParticulate Contaminant in Aviation Fuel by Line Sampling1,2This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2276;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 determination of particulatecontaminant in aviation turbine fuel using a field monitor.1.2 There are two test methods described.The basic testmethod is used to evaluate the level of contamination gravi-metrically.The second test method,presented in Appendix X1,describes a color rating technique that is used for rapidqualitative assessment of changes in contamination level with-out the time delay required for the gravimetric determinationsby stringent laboratory procedures.1.3 There are two Annexes and two Appendixes in this testmethod.1.3.1 Annex A1 provides some precautionary informationregarding the use of the required reagents.1.3.2 Annex A2 describes a standard practice for obtaininga sample of the particulates present in a flowing stream ofaviation turbine fuel.1.3.3 Appendix X1 describes a test method for rating theparticulate level in an aviation turbine fuel on the basis of thecolor of a filter membrane after sampling the fuel in the field.1.3.4 Appendix X2 provides some safety precautions toavoid static discharge resulting from the accumulation ofelectrical charges in the fuel and on the equipment whilefollowing the procedures.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.5 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.1.6 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:3D1193 Specification for Reagent WaterD1535 Practice for Specifying Color by the Munsell SystemD1655 Specification for Aviation Turbine FuelsD2244 Practice for Calculation of Color Tolerances andColor Differences from Instrumentally Measured ColorCoordinatesD4175 Terminology Relating to Petroleum Products,LiquidFuels,and LubricantsD4865 Guide for Generation and Dissipation of Static Elec-tricity in Petroleum Fuel SystemsD5452 Test Method for Particulate Contamination in Avia-tion Fuels by Laboratory FiltrationD6615 Specification for Jet B Wide-Cut Aviation TurbineFuel3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 For definitions of terms used in this test method,referto Terminology D4175.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 membrane color,na visual rating of particulate on afilter membrane against ASTM Color Standards.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM International CommitteeD02 on Petroleum Products,Liquid Fuels,and Lubricants and is the directresponsibility of ASTM Subcommittee D02.J0.05 on Fuel Cleanliness.The techni-cally equivalent standard as referenced is under the jurisdiction of the EnergyInstitute Subcommittee SC-B-11.This test method has been approved by the sponsoring committees and acceptedby the Cooperating Societies in accordance with established procedures.Current edition approved July 1,2022.Published September 2022.Originallyapproved in 1964.Last previous edition approved in 2014 as D2276 06(2014).DOI:10.1520/D2276-22.2This test method has been developed through the cooperative effort betweenASTM and the Energy Institute,London.ASTM and IP standards were approved byASTM and EI technical committees as being technically equivalent but that does notimply both standards are identical.3For 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.*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
