Module F Flashcards
What is the Purpose of quality surveillance
Make sure it does not contain any water or sediment
Micron limit
10 microns
Three qualities
Quality surveillance (everyone’s job)
Quality assurance (NCOIC job)
Quality control (lab job)
Recirculating time frame

Difference between dissolved water and free water
Free water is seen.
Dissolved = can’t be seen
