MIL-PRF-32148, PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION: FILTER SEPARATOR ELEMENTS, FLUID, PRESSURE, AVIATION AND DISTILLATE FUEL, NAVAL SHIPBOARD (25-JUL-2005)

MIL-PRF-32148, PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION: FILTER SEPARATOR ELEMENTS, FLUID, PRESSURE, AVIATION AND DISTILLATE FUEL, NAVAL SHIPBOARD (25-JUL-2005)., The specification covers filter-separator elements for aviation and distillate fuel for use in shipboard systems in conjunction with MIL-PRF-15618 (see 6.7). The filter-separator elements described in this specification are intended for use onboard Naval ships to remove solids and water from fuel systems. The filter-separator elements specified in this specification are intended for use in shipboard filter-separator housings to remove solids and water from fuel systems. These filter-separator elements are used in JP-5 and naval distillate fuel systems for aircraft, propulsion and auxiliary power gas turbines, diesel engines, and other miscellaneous internal combustion engines. New ships being designed will utilize stainless steel filter-separator housings and fuel systems. Current ships utilize copper-nickel filter-separator housings and fuel systems. Therefore, the filter-separator elements procured to this specification must be compatible with system materials and requirements. MIL-PRF-32148 covers requirements and testing of filter separator elements which were previously covered by MIL-PRF-15618. Specifically, General requirements (3.1), Inspections (4.2.1), Tests (4.2.2) and Coalescer Elements and Separator Elements (Appendix A) of MIL-PRF-15618 are superseded and are now covered by MIL-PRF-32148. MIL-PRF-15618 covers only filter separator housings.
