Multi-Pass Method for Evaluating Filtration Performance of Fine Lube Filter Elements Utilized in Aerospace Power and Propulsion Lubrication Systems

- Revised

Scope
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) describes the multi-pass method for evaluating the filtration performance of fine lube filter elements, commonly utilized in aerospace power and propulsion lubrication systems: gas turbine engines, auxiliary power units (APUs), helicopter transmissions, constant speed drives (CSDs), and integrated drive generators (IDGs).
Rationale
The proper performance of lubricant filter elements utilized in aerospace power and propulsion systems is important in protecting system components from particulate contamination that could lead to accelerated component wear, system malfunction, and premature component failure. This ARP provides a standard test method for determining the filtration efficiency and dirt capacity of lubricant filter elements utilized in power and propulsion systems. This will allow both manufacturer and customer a common means to evaluate the performance of lubricant filter elements.
The standard has been revised to: (1) include an update on the current status of the standard reference material (SRM) used for calibration of automatic particle counters per ISO 11171, (2) remove the reference to ARP1827 since it is not referred to in the standard, and (3) include editorial changes for clarity.

* 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.
