Protecting Aircraft Fuel Systems From Pressure Surges During Ground Fuelling: A Description of the ‘Linemaster’ Hose‐End Pressure Controller Designed and Developed by Zwicky Ltd. in Collaboration with British Petroleum Ltd.

Abstract

THE object of a recent visit to Zwicky Ltd. at Slough, was to witness a demonstration of the Linemaster hose‐end pressure controller. This new piece of ground equipment has been designed and developed by Zwicky Ltd. in collaboration with British Petroleum Ltd. and is primarily intended to allow the latest generation of aircraft to be pressure refuelled without risk of damage to the aircraft fuel gallery lines or tanks due to pressure surges.
