1.0 OBJECTIVE The objective of this test report is to present all test and test results performed by Meggitt Fuelling Products at Meggitt North Hollywood on part numbers F145 and F145J single point ground fueling nozzle. This report is to show that the F145 and F145J were designed and tested in accordance to SAE AS5877, Detailed Specification for Aircraft Pressure Refueling Nozzle. This report is to show that the F145 and F145J single point fueling nozzle meets the test requirement of SAE AS5877 in order to qualify the nozzle in the commercial market. 2.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS SAE AS5877 Detailed Specification for Aircraft Pressure Refueling Nozzle, issue 2001-07 SAE AS5877A Detailed Specification for Aircraft Pressure Refueling Nozzle, issue 2006-08, Revision A. MS24484 Pressure Refueling Adapter SAE ARP5298 Adapter Wear Limits 3.0 TEST UNITS 002237 Stock Garwood Qualification Test Report, Revision B AIFP145 Meggitt Fuelling Products Assembly Drawing, Revision B A total of four units were provided to Garwood Laboratories for testing. 3 Slot Single Point Pressure Fueling Nozzle, D-1 configuration: F145 SAMPLE 1 F145 SAMPLE 2 6 Slot Single Point Pressure Fueling Nozzle, D-1 configuration: F145J SAMPLE 1 F145J SAMPLE 2 The F145 and F145J were designed to connect to a 2-1/2 inch pressure fueling adapter conforming to MS24484 to allow fueling and defueling an aircraft by means of a pressure fueling system. The difference between the F145 and the F145 J is in the nozzle s mating design with the fueling adapter. The F145 has a 3 slot configuration to mate with the fueling adapter while the F145J is designed with a 6 slot configuration to mate with the fueling adapter. Both the F145 and F145J nozzles feature aluminum bodies, swivel inlet hose connection, stick handles, one piece nose seal, and dust cap. - 1 -

5.19 DISASSEMBLY AND INSPECTION SUMMARY The F145 and F145 J SAMPLE 1 and SAMPLE 2 were disassembled and inspected after the endurance test per paragraph 4.6.14 of SAE AS5877 specification. The F145 and F145J SAMPLE 1 were disassembled and inspected after test procedure 5.8. The units showed no sign of significant wear or damage or loose parts that would damage an aircraft. The F145 and F145J Sample 1 units were reassembled and then proceeded with the Extended Operation Endurance test. After all tests were completed, all four nozzles were disassembled for final inspection. Wear is observed for the sample 1 nozzles, but no significant signs of wear that will prevent the nozzle from attaching to the fueling adapter to prevent its normal operation. The F145 and F145J Sample 2 nozzles were disassembled, there is no significant wear shown, there is salt accumulation in the nozzle due to the accelerated corrosion testing, but it does not effect the function of the nozzle. See Appendix B for pictures of disassembly. 6.0 DISCREPANCIES AND DEVIATION 6.1 Test Specification Garwood performed all testing per SAE AS5877 specification. All tests performed were later referenced to SAE AS5877 Revision A. There is no difference in test sequence and test requirements between specification AS5877, issue 2001-07 and AS5877 revision A, issue 2006-08. 6.2 Strength Test The F145 SAMPLE 2 and F145J SAMPLE 2 nozzles performed the strength test prior to fuel resistance and extreme temperature test paragraph 5.12 and accelerated corrosion test paragraph 5.13. Due to test scheduling, test setup and questions and concerns with the test fluid used in the extreme temperature cycle test in table 6 of AS5877, the strength test was decided to proceed prior to the fuel resistance and extreme temperature testing. Both nozzles passed the strength test per paragraph 5.14. 6.3 Drop Test For the drop test, the F145 SAMPLE1 and F145J SAMPLE1 nozzles were used to perform the test instead of the SAMPLE 2 nozzles. The drop test was performed after both SAMPLE 1 nozzles have performed and passed the burst pressure testing per paragraph 5.18. Stork Garwood Laboratories stated in their test report in appendix A that the SAMPLE 2 were used during the drop test per paragraph 6.11 in the report, however, the data sheets shows that the SAMPLE 1 nozzle were used. Due to test scheduling, test setup and questions and concerns with the test fluid used in the extreme temperature cycle test in table 6 of AS5877, the SAMPLE 1 Nozzles were used to perform the drop test while the SAMPLE 2 nozzles were being setup for the extreme temperature test per table - 6 -
6 in AS5877. No seals were changed on the SAMPLE 1 nozzles and both SAMPLE 1 nozzles passed the drop test per paragraph 5.15. 6.4 Low Temperature Test For the low temperature test per Table 6 of SAE AS5877 specification, 2,2,4- Trimethylepentane was used for the test. In the last portion of the low temperature test, the test requires a 10 complete cycle testing. Meggitt interprets the cycle test to be performed per 4.6.8.1.2 in AS5877 which uses commercial solvent. Hence, the test fluid used to perform the 10 cycle testing was PD680 Stoddard solvent. Meggitt intends to perform the low temperature cycle test using Trimethlypentane; however this test will be performed at a later date supported by a separate test report. - 7 -
