1、AEROSPACE RECOMMENDED PRACTICEARP4285Issued 2001-03Aerospace - Evaluation of Particulate Contamination in Hydraulic Fluid - Membrane Procedure1. SCOPE:This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) establishes a method for evaluating the particulate matter extracted from the working fluid of a hydrau

2、lic system or component using a membrane. The amount of particulate matter deposited on the membrane due to filtering a given quantity of fluid is visually compared against a standard membrane in order to provide an indication of the cleanliness level of the fluid. A particular feature of this metho

3、d is the membrane preparation to achieve an even particulate distribution on the membrane suitable for other applications.Membrane evaluation using standard membranes, described in this document, is an alternative technique to counting with either an optical microscope (ARP598) or an automatic parti

4、cle counter (ISO 11500). The latter particle counting procedures are considered more precise. This procedure shall not be used as an alternative to particle counting unless agreed to by the customer since the results by this procedure may differ from those by particle counting, even though the stand

5、ard membrane correlates to a specific particle count.2. REFERENCES:2.1 Applicable Documents:The following publications form a part of this document to the extent specified herein.

26、2.7 Filter Mounts: Transparent Petri slides with covers hold the 47 mm membranes flat for examination and offer protection from additional contamination during storage.4.2.8 Forceps: Smooth tipped stainless steel forceps are provided for handling filter membranes.SAE ARP4285- 5 -4.2.9 Lint-Free Labo

27、ratory Coats.4.2.10 Petri Dishes.4.2.11 Waste Funnel and Drum: The waste funnel and drum are not parts of the basic Membrane Test Assembly but are associated items required in the laboratory set up. A 20 L (5 gal) drum fitted with a funnel and standpipe to bring the funnel to bench top height is req

28、uired. This serves as a receptacle for used solvent and hydraulic fluid. Wash down of kit parts can be carried out directly over the funnel.4.2.12 Solvent Supply Drum and Stand: The dry cleaning solvent is supplied in 205 L (45 gal) drums. The drum should be fitted with a suitable valve and be mount

29、ed on a stand to facilitate refilling of the wash bottle.4.2.13 Reading Card: A card containing some sentences in standard Jaegar 1 (J1) size type is used to aid the operator in establishing the distance from the inspection lens at which the membrane and standards should be viewed.4.2.14 Inspection

30、Lens: (Optional) An illuminated inspection lens is used for viewing the membranes and standards (suggested magnification 2X).4.3 Consumable Materials:4.3.1 Solvent: Federal Specification MIL-PRF-680 Type 2 (or as recommended by the contracting agency and as specified by local environmental requireme

31、nts).NOTE: Minimum flash point is 60 C (140 F). Proper safe handling precautions for dry cleaning solvent shall always prevail.4.3.2 Filtering disc for wash bottle, 25 mm with 3 m pore size.4.3.3 Lint-Free rags.4.3.4 Filter membranes, as defined in 4.2.2, suitable for use with petroleum base oils su

34、lyseal closures, 28 mm cap size (or as recommended by the contracting agency).4.4 Pressure Tank and Spray Gun:4.4.1 As an alternative to the wash bottle, these components, when assembled, provide a system to obtain and deliver filtered solvent for bottle cleaning purposes and preparation of the memb

35、rane (see Figure 2).FIGURE 2 - Pressurized System for Bottle Cleaning and Membrane-PreparationSAE ARP4285- 7 -4.4.2 Utilize a pressure tank at approximately 690 kPa (100 psi) maximum pressure with a pressure relief valve. Before opening the tank for refilling, the air pressure shall be released thro

36、ugh the pressure relief valve, or by other means.4.4.3 The spray gun is a normal trigger operated unit equipped with a membrane filter unit and nozzle. The membrane filter shall be replaced weekly or more frequently if flow becomes restricted.4.5 Bottle Cleaning Procedure:4.5.1 The approved sampling

37、 bottles are cleaned prior to performing the cleanliness evaluation of hydraulic fluid.4.5.2 The bottle cleaning procedure for the recommended sampling bottle requires the use of an air pressurized dispensing system with a filterjet solvent dispenser. The air supply can be a central system or a dedi

38、cated pump. As an alternative, the wash bottle having the on-line filter can be used to clean sampling bottles.4.5.3 Upon completion of the Membrane Test evaluation, drain all remaining hydraulic fluid from the 500 mL glass bottle into a waste container. Thoroughly rinse bottle and bottle cap three

39、times with MIL-PRF-680 Type 2 solvent to ensure cleanliness. After the three consecutive flushings of the bottles, invert bottle and cap to drain as much solvent as possible into waste container. The recapped bottle is then ready for sample taking.The film of clean solvent (MIL-PRF-680 Type 2) remai

40、ning in the bottle will not interfere with subsequent evaluations in regard to particle counting.NOTE: Proper safe handling precautions for dry cleaning solvent (MIL-PRF-680 Type 2) shall always prevail.4.6 Standard Membranes:4.6.1 Contamination standards, to which membranes are compared, are used f

41、or determination of fluid sample acceptability.5. MEMBRANE MAKING PROCEDURE:5.1 Precaution:This standard may involve hazardous material operations and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all the safety problems associated with their use. It is the responsibility of whomever uses thi

42、s standard to consult and establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the application of regulatory limitations prior to use.5.2 This part provides a description of the procedures necessary for obtaining representative fluid samples, preparing the Membrane Test Kit for use, makin

43、g membranes using fluid samples and evaluating sample membranes.SAE ARP4285- 8 -5.3 The various steps in producing a successful membrane from a hydraulic fluid sample are relatively simple and use standard laboratory procedures requiring a period of familiarization of the operator. All steps in the

44、procedure must be carried out each time in a careful unhurried manner without diversions. A successful membrane is one where a minimum of extraneous contaminant is present. This can only be assured by adhering to proper procedures and by careful attention to cleanliness throughout the membrane makin

45、g process.NOTE: Proper safe handling precautions for dry cleaning solvent (MIL-PRF-680 Type 2) shall always prevail.5.4 Sample Taking:5.4.1 A representative hydraulic fluid sample taken from a hydraulic component undergoing evaluation shall be taken in accordance with ARP5376.5.5 Solvent Dispenser:5

46、.5.1 The most important tool used in the membrane making process is the solvent dispenser (wash bottle/pressurized solvent dispenser). It is essential that the solvent wash coming from the dispensing system be as clean as possible to preclude adding outside contaminants during the membrane making pr

47、ocess. Filtering the solvent through a 3 m filter is required prior to use.5.5.2 Operation: A steady jet of solvent must be delivered from the solvent dispenser.5.5.3 Filter Change: The filter in the top of the wash bottle assembly must be changed whenever there is evidence of damage or plugging, an

48、d on a routine basis as a preventive measure. Plugging of the filter is indicated by difficulty in obtaining a stream of solvent when the wash bottle is operated, or a decrease in pressure when using a pressurized solvent dispenser. Filter damage is indicated by contaminant showing up on a blank mem

49、brane.5.6 Making A Blank Membrane:5.6.1 Blank membranes should be made each day that the Membrane Test Kit is to be used, to ensure cleanliness of the solvent being delivered from the wash bottle or the pressurized dispensing system. Additionally, a blank membrane must be made after changing the dispensing system filter.5.6.2 The procedure for making a blank membrane simulates the normal membrane making procedure in respect to the amount of solvent used and time span (see 5.7). The only exception is that a fluid sample is not introduced when preparing a blank membrane.5
