当适用规范要求时，本程序适用于所有发动机或机身安装的燃油泵和控制装置。该程序建议采用类似于ARP492的再循环系统，以控制影响流体的燃料特性及其“释放”燃料蒸汽和溶解空气的能力，并在流体回收过程中将这些“重新夹带或溶解”回油箱和原始启动条件。本SAE航空航天推荐规程（ARP）定义了测试飞机/发动机燃油泵的程序，目的是:a.确定两相（“缓动流”）入口性能；b、 在适用规范规定的运行条件下（包括两相（“段塞流”）运行）进行耐久性试验期间，确定泵的抗劣化能力； c.确定污染燃料运行可能对两相（“段塞流”）入口性能的影响。本文推荐的程序旨在产生有用的、可重复的稳态结果。本试验的目的不是确定泵的最大启动高度或爬升速度性能。本程序定义了测试发动机或机身上安装的燃油泵或带有泵的控制装置的建议测试设置、测试程序和数据要求，以确定“段塞流”入口性能能力

This procedure is intended to apply to all engine or airframe mounted fuel pumps and controls when required by the applicable specification. The procedure recommends a recirculation system similar to ARP492 to control the fuel properties affecting the fluid and its ability to "release" fuel vapors and dissolved air and have these "re-entrained or dissolved" during the fluid recovery process back to the tank and the original starting conditions.This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) defines procedures for testing aircraft/engine fuel pumps for the purpose of: a. determining two phase ("slugging flow") inlet performance capability; b. determining the pump's resistance to deterioration during an endurance test with the operating conditions defined by the applicable specification which includes two phase ("slugging flow") operation; and c. determining the effects that contaminated fuel operation may have had on two phase ("slugging flow") inlet performance.The procedure recommended herein is intended to produce useful, reproducible, steady state results.This test is not intended to establish maximum starting altitude or rate of climb performance of the pump.This procedure defines recommended test setups, test procedures, and data requirements for testing engine or airframe mounted fuel pumps or controls with pumps for the purpose of determining "slugging flow" inlet performance capability
