scope:

This specification establishes the requirements for three types of turbine engine gas path cleaning compounds, two are used for off-line (starter cranked) engine cleaning operations and one is used for on-line (fired) engine cleaning (See 6.1).

The cleaning compounds will be of the following types, as specified (see 6.3).

The types of cleaning compounds are as follows:

Type I - Solvent emulsion cleaner concentrate containing aromatic hydrocarbon solvents for use in starter cranked engine cleaning operations only. Type II - Aqueous cleaner concentrate containing no aromatic hydrocarbon solvents for starter cranked engine cleaning operations only. Type II RTU - Ready-To-Use aqueous cleaner containing no hydrocarbon solvents for starter cranked engine cleaning operations only. Type III - Aqueous cleaner concentrate containing no hydrocarbon solvents for use in on-line (fired) engine cleaning of specifically approved engines. Type III RTU - Ready-To-Use aqueous cleaner containing no hydrocarbon solvents for use in on-line (fired) engine cleaning of specifically approved engines.
