Scope
A fuel level control valve/system controls the quantity of fuel in a tank being filled or emptied on the aircraft. This document provides a general familiarization with these mechanisms (e.g., forms they take, functions, system design considerations). This document provides the aircraft fuel system designer with information about these mechanisms/devices, so that he can prescribe the types of level control valves/systems which are best suited for his particular fuel system configuration.
The scope has been expanded as different aircraft manufacturers may use different type of fuel system architectures. Their refueling and defueling systems may take different configurations, may require different types of fuel control valves and may require different types of interface with the onboard Fuel Measurement System. They must also limit pressure surges and be compatible with ground refueling equipment which have varying surge potentials and create surges.
Rationale
This revision to the Fuel Level Control Valve/System addresses the addition of more valve technologies and the interface of the refuel valves with the refuel system, including the Fuel Quantity Indication System.

AE-5A Aerospace Fuel, Inerting and Lubrication Sys Committee
Welcome to the AE-5A, Aerospace Fuel, Inerting and Lubriation Systems public forum area.
Scope: Has responsibility for the resolution of problems in either design or service usage of aerospace fuel, oil and oxidizer systems, their components such as valves, pumps, couplings, fuel cells, quantity and flow gages, and tanks, and related problems as presure surger, icing, electrification, and safety. Develops standards addressing fuel, oil and oxidizer systems.

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
