TASK 73-13-41-700-201 Fuel Nozzle And Support Assembly - Test The Fuel Nozzle
General
Keep the CoMat 10-069 CALIBRATING FLUID at 78 deg F to 82 deg F (26 deg C to 28 deg C) at the fuel inlet fitting during all the tests.
Install the IAE 1P16168 Leak test adapter onto the fuel inlet for all the tests.
Dry the parts before you do the initial nitrogen pressure test.
Complete the leakage test first. Do the tests in the sequence specified.

CAUTION
THE ASSEMBLY MUST BE FULLY DRY BEFORE YOU APPLY NITROGEN IN THE LEAKAGE TEST. DO NOT PUT THE ASSEMBLY INTO THE CALIBRATION FLUID BEFORE PRESSURIZATION. THE CALIBRATION FLUID COULD GO INTO THE ASSEMBLY AND CAUSE INCORRECT LEAK TEST RESULTS.Install the assembly in the IAE 1P16169 Leak test clamp. Make sure that the stepped plug and seal ring (details of clamp) are correctly set at fuel nozzle discharge.
Apply the nitrogen at 10 psig (68.9 kpa) to the adapter.
NOTE
If sufficient precautions have been obeyed, do not do the preliminary pressure build-up. Assembly may be pressurized to 200 psig (1379 kpa) before you put the assembly into the test fluid. Refer to Step.Put the assembly into the test fluid.
Put the nitrogen pressure to zero and remove the clamp.
If you find any leakage, reject the assembly.
SUBTASK 73-13-41-790-051 Do the Leak Test on the Fuel Nozzle and Support Assembly
Connect the fuel nozzle and support assembly to the section of the test stand that measures pressure (hoses thread onto the IAE 1P16168 Leak test adapter).
Make sure the calibration fluid temperature stays at 78 deg F to 82 deg F (26 deg C to 28 deg C) during all flow calibrations.
Write down the inlet pressure (PI), the fuel flow (WF) and the calibration fluid temperature (TI) at each test point.
Let the system become stable for one minute at each test point before you write down the results.
Set the inlet pressure (PI) to test point 1. Record the fuel flow (WF), calibration fluid inlet temperature (TI) and inlet pressure (PI).
Slowly and continuously decrease the inlet pressure (PI) to test point 2. Write down the fuel flow (WF), the calibration fluid inlet temperature (TI) and the inlet pressure (PI).
Set the inlet pressure (PI) and write down the fuel flow (WF). Refer to the table.
Remove the adapter from the fuel inlet connector.
Unwanted material is in the fuel passage. Refer to Cleaning-001 TASK 73-13-41-100-201.
Do the flow test again. Refer to Step.
If the fuel flow (WF) is still low, reject the assembly.
If fuel flow (WF) is low:
The fuel metering plug is eroded and must be replaced. Refer to Repair, VRS3458 TASK 73-13-41-300-002 (Repair-002).
If the fuel flow (WF) is high:
SUBTASK 73-13-41-730-051 Do the Fuel Flow Test on the Fuel Nozzle and Support Assembly
