(5) Type C Test Series. Is done as a final check before issue for consumption by a tank vehicle or as
an initial verification of product type when receiving product from another unit. When receiving product after
shipping from a manufacturer, a Type C series is done to verify product type and start receipt operations;
however, type A series is required before final acceptance of the product is given. (The monthly filter
effectiveness test is type C series plus a Millipore test).
NOTE: Turn to Table IV-A through IV-G in MIL-HDBK-200.
b. After finding the type series to perform on the product in MIL-HDBK 200, Table III, the specific
teats to be done are found in Tables IV A-G. The specific tests done in each series depend on the type of product
being tested. Each test determines a critical property of the product; however, a test, such as distillation, may
determine more than one critical property. For example the tests required on diesel fuels by series are given in
Table 10-1.
Table 10-1. Test Required for Diesel Fuels
* For diesel fuel Type B-3 and C series are the same; this is not true for all products.
** Type A testing is not listed; when this series is required, all tests listed in the specification for that product are
performed.
