SCOPEThis 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

8、 units (APUs), helicopter transmissions, constant speed drives (CSDs), and integrated drive generators (IDGs).1.1 IntroductionVariation in filter element testing methods and requirements make comparison of results difficult. In order to minimize these problems, this document describes standard filtr

9、ation ratings and test procedures.

This pr

14、ocedure determines the particle removal efficiency of the filter element as a function of particle size. The particle removal efficiencies for the various particle size ranges are expressed as filtration ratios, termed Beta Ratios. The filtration ratio at a specified particle size x, designated Ex,

15、is the ratio of the number of particles larger than the specified size entering the filter element, Ux, to the number of particles larger than the same size leaving the filter element, Dx:Filtration Ratio at particle size x = Ex = Ux/Dx (Eq. 1)The techniques specified in this document allow measurem

16、ent of filtration ratios up to 1000 (99.9% particle removal efficiency) for the particle size range 4 m(c) to 25 m(c), as defined in ISO 11171.1.2.2 Multi-Pass Filter Element Dirt CapacityThe multi-pass filter element dirt capacity is the mass of test contaminant introduced into the filter element t

17、est system during the filtration efficiency test to produce the prescribed terminal filter element differential pressure. This value should be used only for comparing filter elements having similar filtration efficienciesIt should be noted that the most commonly specified dirt capacity for lube filt

18、er elements utilized in aerospace lubrication systems is the MIL-F-8815 dirt capacity, MIL-F-8815 (4.7.2.6). In this dirt capacity test, contaminant is added in discrete increments, slugs, each increment consisting of a constant, predetermined mass of test contaminant, immediately upstream of the te

19、st filter, via a slug addition valve, at fixed intervals (usually every 4 minutes) during the test. The filter element differential pressure is recorded 2 minutes after each contaminant slug addition. The total mass of contaminant added to achieve the prescribed terminal filter element differential

20、pressure is reported as the dirt capacity.Due to the extensive experience with the MIL-F-8815 dirt capacity test, and the extensive amount of dirt capacity test data that has been generated with this test, the continued use of the test is recommended for aerospace lubricant filter elements. However,

21、 recently, several filter element specifications for helicopter transmission lubrication systems, APU lubrication systems, as well as other aerospace lubrication systems, have specified the multi-pass dirt capacity. In such cases the multi-pass dirt capacity, defined above, should be determined as d

22、escribed in this document. Due to the differences in the two dirt capacity tests, the dirt capacities determined from the two tests will be different.1.3 Test Contaminant and Particle Counter CalibrationHistorically, AC Fine Test Dust was the test contaminant specified for the multi-pass filter perf

23、ormance test, and the calibration of automatic particle counters was in accordance with ISO 4402. Replacement test dusts for the AC Test Dusts, no longer available, have been specified by ISO (ISO 12103-1). The corresponding ISO Test Dust for AC Fine Test Dust is ISO Fine Test Dust (designated ISO 1

24、2103-A2).In addition, ISO has also specified a calibration procedure ISO 11171 for automatic particle counters to replace the ISO 4402 (1991) calibration procedure which utilized AC Fine Test Dust. The ISO 11171 procedure uses ISO Medium TestDust, designated ISO 12103-A3, instead of AC Fine Test Dus

25、t. The definition of particle sizes per the ISO 11171 calibration procedure differs very significantly from the particle sizes defined in ISO 4402. In order to distinguish the particle sizes defined in ISO 11171, they are designated as m(c) or micrometer(c), the (c) indicating NIST certified sizes.B

26、oth the change in test contaminant, from AC Fine Test Dust to ISO Fine Test Dust (ISO 12103-A2), and the change in automatic particle counter calibration, from ISO 4402 to ISO 11171, have been incorporated in this document.The change in test contaminant and the particle counter calibration procedure

27、 will lead to multi-pass filter performance test results that are significantly different from test results obtained previously with AC Fine Test Dust and ISO 4402 calibration.It is necessary for users to take this into account when comparing historic filter element efficiency and dirt capacity test

28、 data with data generated per the present procedure, and when comparing filter element efficiency and dirt capacity results from the current procedure to historic specification requirements for filter element efficiency and dirt capacity. AIR5455 discusses the impact of the change in test dusts and

29、automatic particle counter calibration on laboratory filter performance and filter ratings.SAE INTERNATIONAL ARP5454B Page 3 of 151.4 Filter Element ConditioningFilter element performance ratings can be adversely affected by harsh operating environments. Filter elements should, therefore, be subject

30、ed to procedures simulating these harsh operating conditions prior to performance testing.Conditioning is the term covering these procedures. This document does not cover conditioning requirements. They should be determined by the user and reported by the testing agency. AIR1666 discusses recommende

31、d filter element conditioning methods for gas turbine engine lubrication filter elements. The methods discussed in AIR1666 can also be applied to filter elements utilized in other aerospace lubrication systems.2.
