Staff Responsibilities

International inspections shall be carried out at joint depot facilities once per year.However, the frequency of these international inspections may be increased ordecreasedat certain locations by unanimous agreement of the international participantcompanies.

Inspections are made to ensure compliance with the locally prepared procedures. Thelocally prepared (site specific) joint proceduresfoperations manual shall include anupdated Iist of any approved deviations from the current issue of Guidelines (see

recognition while the colour of aviation jet fuels may vary, usuallyin the range from water white to straw colour.

(ii) Undissolvedwater (free water) will appear as droplets o~ the sides,or as bulk water on the bottom of the sample jaro In jet¡ fuel it canalso appear as a cloud or haze (suspended water).

(iii) Solid matter (particulate matter), generally consisting !of small

Any increase in pressure drop that cannot be attributed to changes intest pressure or fuel temperature is an indication of a possible hydrant leak or

isolation valve failure. IAII checks shall be recorded.

accuracy of hydrant tightness control systems. Air should be removed ca~efully andprecautions taken to avoid the generation of fueljair mist. Where required, a "drybreak" type coupler should be used.

This section deals with those aspects of safety, which are the direct concern ofoperating personnel. It is the responsibility of the Manager to ensure that thepersonnel under his control are adequately trained.

The majority of accidentscan be attributed to lack of attention to, or failure tocarry out, or deviationsfrom, prescribed procedures.

General

Personnel should be able to analyse emergency situations, act in a disciplinedmanner and apply the correct procedures with confidence. This can only beachieved if procedureshave been prepared to cover all possible emergencies,and training carried out to ensure that all personnel are familiar with theprocedures and proficient in their assigned duties.

distinguish between particulate contamination and harmless colour bodies. Ifthe fuel is dirty, the upper (upstream) membrane may have a significantlydarker colour after testing than the lower membrane. If the fuel containssoluble colour bodies then both membranes will be stained by the test.

After test, the exposed membranes should be allowed to dry and then ratedagainst the ASTM Colour Standards in the recommended manner. To provide avisual record of any changes in fuel quality, both used membranes should beretained for a minimum of 3 years.

i1adually apply test pressureand bleed any entrapped air from the hose andtest equipment. Becauseof the possibility of a hose burst, do not c10selyinspect the hose during pressurisation and wait for 1 minute after reachingmaximum test pressurebefore inspecting. Maintain test pressure for at least 3minutes and only as long as is necessary to inspect for externaI damage andcoupling slippage.

Release pressure completely, re-pressurise to 3.5 bar and examine asdescribed in A5.1.2. Finally, release pressure and drain test pump to preventpossible contamination of product during future use.
