Water Content Instrumentation for Icing Cloud Characterization

Scope
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) provides a comprehensive overview of primary water content measurement instrumentation, for both facility-based icing research and in-flight icing research, over the range of commonly used aircraft certification icing envelopes. It includes information on the theory of operation of the instruments, system errors and limitations, and practical considerations when using them for cloud characterization. This document does not address other icing cloud measurements of interest, such as particle sizing, or measurement of phenomena such as snow, sleet, or hail.
Rationale
The need for a single, comprehensive document providing guidance on instrumentation that measures liquid, ice, and total water content in supercooled, mixed-phase, and glaciated clouds was identified. This document would eliminate duplication of effort as the information appears sporadically in several other SAE documents. This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is intended to be the definitive source for such information.

Issuing Committee
AC-9C Aircraft Icing Technology Committee
Furthers the advancement of technology related to the research, design, test and utilization of aircraft environmental and anti-icing/deicing systems. Develops and updates standards, recommended practices, and information reports contributing to the quality, economy, and safety of commercial and military aircraft.
A list of the technical reports developed by the AC-9C Sub- Committee can be obtained by searching on 'aircraft icing' and selecting 'standards', from the SAE Home Page. AC-9C StandardsReference

* 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.
