- Abstract
- The findings of a 1-yr study conducted at the San Dimas Technology and Development Center (SDTDC) are presented. The study objective was to identify a suitable replacement carbon for that currently used to conduct spark arrester qualification testing at SDTDC. The study had to be undertaken when SDTDC could not find a source to resupply the carbon currently required by testing specifications and standards. This need was reported to Fire and Aviation Management in 1989 and, as a consequence, funding was provided to conduct the study in Fiscal Year 1990. This report defines the methods used to perform the study, the testing conducted, data analysis, and replacement carbon selection critieria. In the conclusion is a recommended replacement carbon and source of supply.
