Full Description
Testing Kit, Petroleum (NSN: 6630-01-558-5109, PN: 57K6311)
End Item: Tactical Petroleum, Oils & Lubrication Distribution Equipment.
Army Contracting Command-Detroit Arsenal (DTA) has a requirement to procure the one-man portable Testing Kit, Petroleum (NSN: 6630-01-558-5109, PN: 57K6311), a critical supply item used by petroleum supply specialists to conduct field-expedient quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) on military fuel supplies prior to issuance.
The kit's primary function is to assess fuel quality at the tactical edge by detecting the presence of contaminants, such as free water and particulates, and by determining temperature and API gravity.
