13 of 21 Federal Aviation Administration Task Group Session on Cargo Liner Test October 19, Construct new sonic burner apparatus using parts from Marlin Engineering Status: completed. Determine impact of 90 o elbow position (repositioning will make apparatus much higher, but should calibrate easier) Summary of Activities: Apparatus
14 of 21 Federal Aviation Administration Task Group Session on Cargo Liner Test October 19, Construct new calibration rake using 1/8-inch thermocouples (completed) Summary of Activities: Apparatus
15 of 21 Federal Aviation Administration Task Group Session on Cargo Liner Test October 19, Construct test sample rig to fit sonic burner equipment. Status: complete. Summary of Activities: Apparatus
16 of 21 Federal Aviation Administration Task Group Session on Cargo Liner Test October 19, Calibrate NexGen burner to match Park burner temperature results. Status: in progress. This will be accomplished by using 1/16-inch thermocouples identical to those used in the Park base-lining exercise. The burner was initially set-up using parameters obtained from the seat burner trials (stator angle, stator depth, nozzle depth, etc). Slight adjustments to the sonic burner were made to ensure the temperatures are equivalent to the Park temperature Profiles. Following this, 1/8-inch thermocouples will be substituted, without changing the burner. This is how the original temperature profile will be transferred. Summary of Activities: Apparatus

18 of 21 Federal Aviation Administration Task Group Session on Cargo Liner Test October 19, Conduct test trials using identical cargo liner samples used in Park burner tests. This will be an iterative process to make sure that all materials previously tested using the Park burner will react similarly when using the NexGen burner (i.e., conduct only several tests with each material type to ensure desired results first before moving on). Status: in progress. Summary of Activities: Apparatus

20 of 21 Federal Aviation Administration Task Group Session on Cargo Liner Test October 19, Planned Activities Conduct Round Robin? Average of NexGen test results must be within 5-10% of Park burner results?? Development of advisory material for cargo design features? Possible ARAC recommendation Finalize burner settings by conducting temperature calibrations Complete testing of samples to ensure sonic equivalency to Park Check comments from KSN site and incorporate changes to test procedure

The seam detail shall be positioned longitudinally, 2 inches from the top of the vertical test specimen liner edge (Figure X-8). Some sidewall seam or joint details may be too wide to fit into the vertical specimen area without clearance issues. This can be rectified by moving the seam detail lower, provided the upper edge of the detail is situated 1.5 inches from the top edge (Figure X-9). Follow test procedures specified in X.8.1 through X.8.9.
