IP 565: Determination of the level of cleanliness of aviation turbine fuel - Portable automatic particle counter method
- Method adopted/last revised: 2013
- Method reapproved: None
- REF/ISBN: IP565-2936450
- Status: New
- First printed in STM books: March 2013

Scope
This standard describes a method for determining the level of dispersed particles in aviation turbine fuel, specifically dirt particles and water droplets in the range from 4 :m(C) to 30 :m(C), up to a maximum of 60 000 cumulative counts per ml.
NOTE 1 - For the purposes of this method, water droplets are considered as particles and agglomerated particles are detected as a single obscuration event. Although the projected area of a particle is measured, this is expressed as a diameter for the purposes of this method.
NOTE 2 - The subscript (C) is used to denote that the particle size has been measured using an instrument traceable to ISO 11171.
NOTE 3 Annex B describes an optional procedure that may be used to eliminate the effects of water droplets from being counted as particulates.
