1. Purpose:
To specify performance requirements for Pressure Sensitive Altimeters for use in B.I.C.
manufactured ground support test equipment.
2. Scope:
This PRODUCT STANDARD SPECIFICATION covers two basic types of instruments as
follows:
TYPE I - Range 35,000 ft. Barometric Pressure. Scale range at least 28.1 - 30.99
inches of Mercury (946-1049 millibars). May include markers working in
conjunction with the Barometric Pressure Scale to indicate pressure -
altitude.
TYPE II - Range 50,000 ft. Barometric Pressure. Scale range at least 28.1 - 30.99
inches of Mercury (946-1049 millibars). May include markers working in
conjunction with Barometric Pressure Scale to indicate pressure - altitude.
3. Identification:
All units regardless of origin of manufacture are to be identified by B.I.C. assigned part
numbers as follows:
B.I.C. P/N
Baro. Units
TYPE NO.
