SAE AIR 1184B:2016 PDF Download

SAE AIR 1184B:2016 is a standard that aims to provide information about the accuracies of capacitive fuel gauging systems. The report identifies common errors encountered in these systems and describes the underlying factors that cause these errors. By understanding the sources of error and assessing the associated costs, this standard helps optimize the accuracy of fuel gauging systems within design and budget limitations.

While the topic of fuel measurement accuracy using capacitance-based sensing is complex, this standard focuses on the major contributors to inaccuracy, prioritizing simplicity and clarity over comprehensiveness. It acknowledges that this report does not provide a fully comprehensive evaluation of all factors affecting gauging system accuracy.

For a more detailed understanding of capacitive fuel gauging operation and how to analyze accuracy by combining the effects of the error sources discussed in this standard, readers are referred to AIR5691, which provides an overview of the subject.
