Cleanliness That Keeps Aircraft Flying

In aerospace systems, contamination is a root cause of component failure, reduced service life, and costly maintenance. Hydraulic and fuel system components must meet precise particulate cleanliness levels to function reliably under operational loads and pressures.

For oxygen-enriched environments such as propulsion systems, life support, and ground support equipment, even trace hydrocarbon contamination creates ignition risk. Jetsons delivers verified, documented cleanliness that addresses both requirements.

  • Aircraft hydraulic system components
  • Fuel system fittings, valves, and manifolds
  • Engine lubrication components
  • Oxygen-service assemblies and fittings
  • Heat exchangers and cooling components
  • Ground support equipment fluid systems

Aerospace fluid system components require documented cleanliness levels validated by particle count and NVR analysis

Why Oxygen Cleaning Matters

Components used in oxygen-enriched aerospace environments require complete removal of hydrocarbons, particulates, and residue before entering service. Even trace amounts of oil or grease can cause ignition under elevated oxygen pressure, creating a fire or explosion risk.

Jetsons performs oxygen cleaning to ASTM G93 and SAE ARP1176B, the two primary standards governing oxygen system cleaning for aerospace applications. Our process removes hydrocarbon contamination to nanogram-level NVR limits and particulate contamination to the cleanliness level specified on your drawing.

How Cleanliness Is Verified

NVR Gravimetric Testing

Non-volatile residue testing quantifies hydrocarbon and organic film mass per unit area, confirming oxygen cleaning to ASTM G93 and ARP1176B limits.

Particle Count

Automatic particle counting measures count and size distribution from 5 to 1250 microns, compared to your ISO 4406 or SAE AS4059 cleanliness class requirement.

UV / Visual Inspection

Ultraviolet and white-light inspection reveals organic residues and fluorescent contamination on critical sealing and mating surfaces.

Non-contact

In-House Testing, No Lab Delays

All cleanliness verification is performed on-site at our Garner, NC facility. Parts are not sent to a third-party laboratory, which means faster turnaround and a shorter, fully traceable documentation chain from cleaning to certification. Results are reported on a certificate of cleanliness delivered with every shipment.
