    Purge Fluid MIL-PRF-38299E.pdf
    The MIL-PRF-38299E specification outlines the requirements for a purging fluid designed to preserve fuel tanks in jet aircraft before maintenance activities. It replaces the earlier specification MIL-PRF-38299D and establishes that the purging fluid must consist entirely of hydrocarbon compounds, allowing for the use of both virgin and recycled materials. The document details the necessary chemical and physical properties of the fluid, including requirements on distillation, specific gravity, total sulfur content, and electrical conductivity, alongside relevant ASTM test methods. Additionally, the specification mandates the inclusion of antioxidants to prevent the formation of harmful substances, as well as additives to enhance electrical conductivity. The fluid must be safe for personnel and free from contaminants. The specification also outlines inspection protocols, ensuring compliance with the necessary quality standards, including sampling methods and potential grounds for rejection of the product. Aimed at all Department of Defense agencies, the specification serves as a fundamental resource for procurement and quality assurance, ensuring the functionality and safety of aircraft maintenance operations by providing a clear framework for the purging fluid's characteristics and testing methods.
