Scope
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) establishes the processes to achieve and maintain the required cleanliness levels in flight vehicle hydraulic systems during fabrication, assembly and pre-flight functional tests.
This recommended practice covers exclusion and removal primarily of solid contaminants that occur or are created during these successive steps. The flushing procedure for installed tubing is detailed. This ARP does not address contamination levels of hydraulic fluids as purchased, operation and maintenance of ground carts, details of component cleanliness or of contamination measurement.
This ARP applies to military aircraft and helicopters designed to AS5440, commercial aircraft hydraulic systems designed to ARP4752 and commercial helicopter hydraulic systems designed to ARP4925.
Rationale
ARP5891 has been reaffirmed to comply with the SAE five-year review policy.

Issuing Committee
A-6A2 Military Aircraft Committee
The Military Aircraft Panel is responsible for the development of standards and recommended practices related to the integration of fluid power and actuation technologies into military air vehicles. The panel provides a forum for government engineers, prime contractors, suppliers, and fleet support representatives to exchange technical information and discuss regulatory updates, recent technology developments, lessons learned, and issues related to system development and in service operation.
Reference
* 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.
