SAE AIR 6241A:2020 Download

SAE AIR 6241A:2020 is an Aerospace Information Report that provides procedures and guidelines for the continuous sampling and measurement of non-volatile particle emissions from aircraft turbine engines. It outlines the required conditions for sampling and the instrumentation necessary for accurate measurements. The report includes procedures for calculating sampling loss performance.

It is important to note that this standard is not intended for in-flight testing, and it does not apply to engines operating in the afterburning mode. The document serves as a historical technical record and was adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) into Annex 16 Volume II. It has been updated and incorporated into Aerospace Recommended Practice ARP6320.

This standard provides valuable information for researchers and engineers involved in the measurement and analysis of particle emissions from aircraft turbine engines. Future updates of the standard may include additional explanations related to the development of the measurement methodology, providing further clarity and insights into the reasoning and assumptions behind the procedures outlined in the report.
