TM 55-4920-328-13(8) The data from the calibration chart should bereduced to a single value, stated as the "Test Stand C-Factor". The "Test Stand C-Factor" will be the averageIb/hr divided by the average cycles per sec and thecalibrated fluid specific gravity:Ibs/hr(Test Stand C-Factor = cps divided by cal fluid SG)(9) The digital indicator pre-set K factor is thendetermined as follows:(a) After determining the test fuel specific gravity,use that value times the test stand C-factor to calculatethe "K" factor.(b) "K-factor" = Test Stand C-factor X Test fuelspecific gravity(c) Temperature Compensation.(d) (Should be the measured fuel temp minus thecalibration fluid temp) =.DF(e) This should then be used to obtain thecorrected SP. GR. by subtracting the measured SC.from cal fluid SG., then this difference XDF = correctedSG.NOTEThe pressures specified in thefollowing step are applicable to thesupply oil pressures available at theengine oil pump with the engine notoperating.r. Verify that the oil pressure gage (80, figure 7-8)indicates 10 0.5 psig if a T53 engine is to be tested, or5 0.5 psig if a T63 engine is to be tested.s. For T73 engine test only, adjust the water in andwater out hydronic master control units in the controlcab assembly to pressurize the water brake assembly to100 psig.I. For T73 engine test only, adjust the air pressureinto the water brake assembly to 80 5 psig. For T53engine test, adjust the air pressure into the water brakeassembly to a minimum of 20 psig.Section III. STARTING AND OPERATING PROCEDURES3-8. Electric Start ProceduresWARNINGEar protection must be worn byoperating personnel outside thecontrol cab when the engine Is beingoperated. Failure to observe thiswarning will result in damage to andeventual loss of hearing.Accomplish the start of a gas turbine engine(equipped with an electric starter) in accordance with thefollowing:CAUTIONDo not operate the electric starter inexcess of the specified operatingtime. Allow the specified time toelapse between attempted starts forthe dc motor to cool. Failure toobserve this precaution will result Indamage to the starter and will reducethe service life of the batteries. Referto the applicable aircraft manual forspecific time limitations.a. Depress switch 30 on data selector assembly 1A2(7, figure 1-22), then depress the ENGINE FUELSOLENOID switchlight (30, figure 1-24). Verify anindication of fuel pressure on the FUEL FLOW monitorunit (16, figure 1-23) unit 2A2.WARNINGDo not exceed any specifiedtemperature after lightoff. Observethe critical temperatures on theEXHAUST GAS TEMP meter (38,figure 1-24). Failure to observe thisprecaution will result in severedamage to the engine and equipmentand may result In serious injury dueto explosion or fire.b. Simultaneously depress the START switch (31),IGNITION switch (32), and the TIMER STARTswitchlight unit (35). If lightoff does not occur in thespecified time as indicated on the elapsed time indicator(37), immediately depress the switches and theswitchlight units a second time. Allow the specifiedwaiting period prior to attempting a restart. If, during astart, the temperature indicated on the EXHAUST GASTEMPChange 23-9
