MIL-DTL-81248C
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful,
but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. The detector pads covered by this specification are intended for use with
the Model No. MK II Free Water Detector, MIL-D-81227; the Detector, Contaminated Fuel,
Type III, MIL-D-22612; and, the ASTM-D3240 Test Pad Rater (Aqua-Glo) (25 mm pads only).
When aviation turbine fuel is filtered through the free water detector pad, the free water in the
fuel reacts with the uranine dye on the pad. If free water is present in the fuel, the detector pad
will fluoresce under ultra violet light, indicating the quantity of water contaminant in aircraft
fuel.
6.2. Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a.
Title, number, and date of the specification
b.
Quantity of detector pads
c.
Size (see 1.2)
d.
Submission of a first article sample if required (see3.1)
e.

6.3 Inspection. Inspection should be performed in accordance with method 9601 of
FED-STD-791.
6.4 Material Safety Data Sheets. Contracting officers will identify those activities requiring

The pertinent Government mailing addresses for submission of data are listed in FED-STD-313.
6.5 Definitions.
6.5.1 Lot. A lot consists of all the detector pads that have been manufactured and unit
packed from the same batch of paper and coated with the same batch of uranine solution.
6.5.2 Batch. A batch is defined as the end product of all raw materials blended or processed
in a single operation.
6.6 Metric conversion factors. Units of measure have been converted to the International
