EI 1570 Handbook on electronic sensors for the detection of particulate matter and/or free water during aircraft refuelling

Overview:

EI 1570 has been developed to assist potential users of electronic sensors for the detection of particulate matter and/or free water during aircraft refuelling, in making informed choices about which sensor technologies may be best suited for their applications.

The handbook provides information on the different mechanisms or technologies that an electronic sensor can use to measure particulate matter and/or free water; the ways in which a sample from flowing fuel can be obtained, and the terminology used by sensor manufacturers to facilitate common understanding between potential users and manufacturers.

This informative, full colour, handbook has been written primarily for those involved in the fuelling of commercial aircraft but the overview of detection technologies is equally applicable to military applications.

The information is intended to be applicable internationally and will be of interest to all those involved in the handling of aviation fuel at airports.
