Please note that an addendum was issued in February 2019 for this publication, it is available for download and present in both the sample pages and the full PDF.
This publication provides industry with general mechanical specifications for new aviation fuel dirt defence filter designs, laboratory qualification test procedures and minimum laboratory performance levels for selected aspects of the performance of dirt defence filter elements and systems.
The laboratory qualification tests provide standard methods of evaluating the performance of new dirt defence filter element designs, which may be relevant to field service. They are not intended to predict the actual performance of dirt defence filters in field service.
Dirt defence filters that meet the qualification requirements of EI 1599 may be used as in vessels formerly used as filter monitors. Dirt defence filter systems should be used in conjunction with a water removal or water detection device that will ensure free water content in fuel is acceptable for servicing aircraft.
The main changes in this second edition are:
This publication will be of particular interest to all those involved in the manufacture, supply, procurement and use of aviation fuel filters, particularly for aircraft fuelling.
