SSFACON is a unique monitoring system for portable line sampling of aviation turbine fuel to determine particulate contamination and colour ratings.
The system was originally developed in collaboration with a leading aviation fuel producers and is now used by companies responsible for distributing and uploading aviation fuel on a worldwide basis. SSAFCON assists the routine filtration performance tests such as ASTM D2276-IP 216, which are carried out at fuel terminals and throughout airport distribution systems, The system provides a self contained and safer alternative to traditional hose end sampling, eliminating trailing hoses and exposure to fuel in the airport service area. A bypass valve directs fuel through a filter cell containing the removable membrane filter or allows flushing of the sampler. Tested fuel may be routed to a flow line leading to a dump tank, without the need for buckets or containers. SSAFCON mounting trays (16165-2) are permanently installed at the sampling points downstream of the filtration system, typically at a designated static test site. hydrant dispenser or onboard the refuelling vehicle. SSAFCON sampler (16160-2) connects to the mouting tray by self-sealing quick release couplings and an earthing clip, docking/undocking of the sampler is rapid and safe.
