Fuel Management Systems

AMETEK SFMS provides complete aircraft fuel management and gauging solutions that measure fuel quantity, support accurate fuel calculation, communicate information to flight and ground crews, and assist refueling operations. System content includes fuel probes, level switches, compensators, fuel quantity signal conditioners, refuel panels, in-tank harnesses, and densitometers.

Fuel systems must support proper filling and draining, fuel transfer to the engines, aircraft balance, accurate quantity indication, and safe response to component faults. SFMS works from customer tank geometry and operating requirements to perform tank studies, simulate pitch and roll conditions, optimize probe locations, and determine sensing architecture. The resulting solution can combine wet-side sensing with electronics that calculate fuel volume or mass and communicate with avionics.

• Full fuel-gauging chain from in-tank sensors to refuel interfaces
• Tank studies, system optimization, safety assessment, and integration support
• Intrinsically safe sensing and transient-protection options for in-tank equipment
• Analog and digital signal-conditioning architectures with built-in test

Across sensing, wiring, processing, display, and support equipment, AMETEK SFMS helps customers manage interfaces and system accuracy as a coordinated whole rather than as isolated components.
