Managing “false alarms” and “no fault found” events in Military avionic systems.
Paper presented at the recent 2017 Aviation Electronics Europe Expo in Munich by Dr. Mustafa Ilarslan, PhD.
In a paper presented at the recent 2017 Aviation Electronics Europe Expo in Munich, Germany, Dr. Mustafa Ilarslan, PhD, discussed – “The management of “False Alarms” and “No Fault Found” events in Military avionic systems”.
In his paper Dr. Ilarslan explains that “False alarms (FAs) impose a devastating impact on military systems. An entire aircraft can be grounded because of a single avionics for which there are insufficient spares available. If a FA causes a particular Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) to be called out incorrectly, there is a better than even probability that a second copy of the same LRU will also experience FA and much sooner than expected, the fleet will be deprived of all spares for that LRU. To then find that the LRUs replaced had No Fault Found (NFF) at the repair depot adds “salt to the wound.” while adding huge sums for lost time in servicing, aircraft downtime and unnecessarily high stocks of replacement parts.
SuperCORR A was designed specifically to prevent these problems in avionic as well as electrical and electronic components and systems failures caused by corrosion, including no fault found failures and problems caused by Cadmium corrosion. SuperCORR A is a proprietary Ultra-Thin Film, Water Displacing Lubricant and Corrosion Preventative Compound, manufactured under license in the UK by EnviroTech Europe Ltd.
SuperCORR A is being used on both military and civilian aircraft to prevent fretting corrosion on electronic and electrical connectors, including F-16, P-3 Orion, Boeing 737’s, C-130, F-15, DHC-6 Twin Otter, Bell helicopters, Bombardier BD-700 series and Bombardier Challenger 300/350, Learjet 45, Legacy 650, and Hawker to name but a few.
SuperCORR A is also being used at BAE Systems, Honeywell and Raytheon Systems to prevent corrosion from causing avionic, electronics, and electrical systems and components failures and for lubrication and protection of moving parts with a thin dry film.
SuperCORR A meets the requirements of MIL-L-87177A and Mil-DTL-87177B.

Vapour Degreasing Solvents For Precision Metal Cleaning
CONTENT ON THIS PAGE IS RETAINED FOR INFORMATION ONLY
DUE TO n-Propyl bromide now being included in Annex 14 of REACH
EnviroTech Europe Ltd (ETE) continue to publish it as historical information and to record changes occurring in legislation which have affected decisions on formulations and equipment used in vapour degreasing - the most effective, quickest, flexible and cheapest cleaning system used in industry.
EnSolv® invented and patented by EnviroTech has been a market leader all over the world for vapour degreasing. It is based on n-bromopropane (nPB) which now cannot be used as a vapour degreaser within the UK or EU without authorisation.
Archived information about EnSolv® can be found using the Discontinued Products & Resources navigation menu on this page.
Using experience accumulated over 40 years supplying and supporting users of the vapour degreasing process ETE specialists have developed “drop in” alternatives:
ProSolv®, ProSolv5408e® and EnSolv CC-A® give the same or improved level of performance and economy as the original EnSolv® products.
Please contact our advisers who are available to discuss your needs and propose the best replacement product.

Environmentally friendly precision vapour degreasing and cleaning solvents for the aerospace, precision engineering, medical, optical and electronic industries.
EnSolv vapour degreasing solvents are the most effective alternative to trichloroethylene and other chlorinated and fluorocarbon based solvents. Fast, economical cleaning and degreasing in one tank using minimal floor area.
EnSolv degreasing solvents are specifically formulated to address the difficult precision cleaning problems experienced in high-tech industries where exceptional levels of cleanliness are needed.
EnSolv is a trusted family of environmentally friendly precision vapour degreasing and cleaning solvents for the aerospace, precision engineering, medical, optical and electronic industries. Custom blends serve applications where standard formulations require modifications.
These degreasing solvents are specifically formulated to address the difficult cleaning problems experienced in industries where exceptional levels of precision cleaning are needed.
The EnSolv range of solvents are economical in use, with very high solvency power for excellent fast precision cleaning in any vapour degreasing equipment with greatly improved productivity and lower maintenance costs. Mid range operating temperature reduces energy usage with a faster cleaning cycle and easier more comfortable handling for operators.
EnSolv is safe for the environment with low global warming and ozone depletion the lower temperature of operation reduces energy usage and reduces CO2 emission. EnSolv® is not classified as a carcinogen enhancing safe usage for operators
EnSolv is approved by US EPA Snap and is included in US Tri- Service corrosion manuals. Usage is Approved by Boeing and the major OEMs worldwide as a replacement for trichloroethylene.

Industrial Degreasing Solvents – Safe For The Environment
Eco Friendly Industrial Degreasing Solvents, Safe For Users And The Environment.
Cleaning agents are used in many industries to remove dirt, oil, grease, or other contaminants from machined and fabricated metal, plastic and composite surfaces.
The solvents must be highly refined and leave no residues on drying. They have to be very effective in removal of oils and soils without causing harm to the parts or components being cleaned and leave minimal residues. Solvents are used for cleaning using spray washers or immersion tanks with or without ultrasonics or agitation in manufacturing or automotive industries for removal of process oils from manufacturing processes .
Pre-used parts or assemblies from the transportation, aerospace or manufacturing equipment sectors are often very heavily contaminated when removed from service but must be free of these oils, soils, grease, dirt and contaminants before handling to disassemble prior to refurbishing and rebuilding.
A growing concern regarding environmental and health hazards of the most commonly used chlorinated solvents as industrial degreasing agents has led to the formulation by EnviroTech Surface Technologies of the Clarea® range of safer cleaning solvents.
Clarea solvents can be used for spray or immersion cleaning for very heavy soiling or are used as wipe cleaners for large surface areas prior to painting or powder coating.
Why should you choose Clarea industrial cleaning solvents.
The solvents applied during production or finishing processes have a direct effect on the health of workers and the environment.
Volatile organic compounds or VOCs are chemicals which vaporise at room temperatures. Traditional solvents used for cleaning have low boiling points and a high VOCs making them harmful to use and less eco-friendly Exposure to the VOC’s released by these cleaning agents must be controlled to prevent respiratory, allergic, and immune system complications for users. If your company uses industrial degreasing agents regularly, it is time to evaluate the dangers of this choice.
Clarea is a less volatile alternative than conventional cleaners. Highly refined aliphatic hydrocarbons with minimal residues and tight vaporisation ranges are capable of providing the same results and can be substituted to create a safer, sustainable, eco-friendly workplace.
The low odour, low flammability and low toxicity of Clarea® solvents provides performance and operator and environmental acceptability using less material at lower costs. Multipurpose use can reduce the inventory of cleaning fluids stocked.
Clareaa HC40 for brush and hand wiping, air dries. Flash point 40℃.
Clarea HC62 for dip cleaning with agitation or ultrasonics.
Low evaporation. Non-flammable.
Clarea® range of solvents is supplied through our distributors worldwide.
Other solvents in our cleaning specialities range are:
ProSolv 5408e: Precision solvent for electronics, medical and other critical cleaning applications.
