TABLE IX

Minimum Sampling and Testing Requirements for Petroleum Products – Continued

NOTES:

1. Use the API MPMS for sampling methods (see 4.7).

2. See Tables XX through XXV for the types of test required on the various products. The legend for the types of testing required is as follows:

a. Type “A” Test - Complete specification, Water separation index, modified, testing is not performed if the fuel contains conductivity additive (DO NOT PERFORM DOWNSTREAM OF SDA INJECTION.)

b. Type “B-1” Test - Partial analysis comprising the checking of principal characteristics most likely to have been affected in the course of moving the product.

c. Type “B-2” Test - Partial analysis to check characteristics susceptible to deterioration because of age.

d. Type “B-3” Test - Partial analysis for contamination; in particular, for controlling the return (or reintroduction) of pipeline interface products.

e. Type “C” Test – Quick, simple, partial analysis for verification of product quality, to ensure that no change has taken place.

3. The average particulate content of the 3 fuel samples should not exceed 2 mg/L; however, the first and last samples are obtained under severe discharge conditions they may show high particulate content. Solid contamination while extremely objectionable is a physical contaminant which can be removed under proper conditions with proper equipment, and since the product at this point is Government owned, discharge operations will not be discontinued for this reason. However, the contracting officer, DLA Energy, and the Quality Assurance Representative at the loading point will be advised of any high particulate results obtained. This information will be used for future planning purposes and for determining possible cleaning actions necessary on the vessel involved. This note is not applicable to internal Navy transfers.

4. Flash Point at the receiving point is not required for product that is to be use by the U.S. Army. This fuel is tested in accordance with Army quality surveillance program AR 710-2.

5. If unable to take an all-level sample from the compartment prior to discharge, then take an in-line sample at or near the off-loading header during the discharge, immediately upon product displacement of the receipt manifold/hose.

6. No receiving tests are necessary on packaged products, provided the containers are intact and markings adequately identify the product.

7. Filter-separator performance is to be checked every 30 days. At the Service Control Point option, filter / separator performance may be checked using the color comparison method in lieu of the matched weight monitor.

8. For retaining of samples see Contractor Inspection Responsibilities (Storage) within contract provisions.

9. Testing maybe complete specification testing or an individual test based on the request of the Government

Representative.

10. When field tests exceed limits, samples shall be forwarded to the respective Service area laboratories for further testing. When laboratory tests of material from dispensing equipment show evidence of free water or a sediment level exceeding 0.5 mg/L for aviation fuels (1.0 mg/L for U.S. Army, 2.0 mg/L for U.S.

Navy), or 10.0 mg/L for diesel fuel, that equipment shall be placed in Quality Hold (dead lined) pending successful remedial action as directed by the Service Control Point.

11. For aviation delivery, FSII and SDA will be tested where capability exists.

12. If unable to take an all-level sample from the truck compartment prior to discharge, then an in-line sample taken after line displacement during discharge may be used

13. If the product is suspected of contamination, product will be isolated by transferring to a holding tank or refueler vehicle. The product will be placed, on quality hold. A sample will be sent to the area laboratory for B-3 testing. If the product is found not suitable for use the disposition request guidance in 5.13.2 and 5.13.3 will be followed.

14. Defueled product containing dye shall be isolated and returned to the same aircraft or follow guidance in

5.13.2 requesting disposition instructions.

15. DLA Quality Policy for first ins is one (1) meter or after line displacement whichever is the greater.

16. For determining correct testing results (rounding protocol) see 4.2.2.2.1 Testing Rounding Protocol

17. For Gasoline, Free Water and Sediment testing is not required unless contamination is suspected. For

Diesel fuel, when excessive visible sediment is observed, retest using field or laboratory analysis (ASTM D2276, Appendix X1)
