(2) Test facilities, test rigs and simulators for measuring combustion system and hot gas flow path performance, heat transfer and durability for static assemblies and aero-engine components;
(3) Specially designed test rigs, equipment or modified gas turbine engines which are utilized for development of gas turbine aero-engine internal flow systems (gas path seals, air-oil seals and disc cavity flow fields).
Vibration test equipment as follows-
(a) Vibration test equipment using digital control techniques and specially designed ancillary equipment and "specially designed software" therefor, except:
(i) Individual exciters (thrusters) with a maximum thrust of less than 100 kN (22 500 lb);
(ii) Analogue equipment;
(iii) Mechanical and pneumatic exciters (thrusters);
(iv) Vibrometers;
(v) Ancillary equipment not covered by Items IL 1529, 1531, 1565, or 1568;
(b) High intensity acoustic test equipment capable of producing an overall sound pressure level of 140 dB or greater (referenced to 2 x 10-5 N/m2) or with a rated output of 4 kW or greater and specially designed ancillary equipment and "specially designed software" therefor, except:
(i) Analogue equipment;
(ii) Ancillary equipment not covered by Items IL 1529, 1531, 1565 or 1568;
(c) Ground vibration (including modal survey) test equipment that uses digital control techniques and specially designed ancillary equipment and "specially designed software" therefor, except:
(i) Analogue equipment;
(ii) Ancillary equipment not covered by Items IL 1529, 1531, 1565 or 1568;
Explanatory Notes:
Vibration and acoustic test systems typically consist of one or more exciters (thrusters), or acoustic noise generators, together with ancillary equipment for instrumentation, control, data acquisition and analysis. This Item covers only the vibration and acoustic test equipment itself. The ancillary equipment, e.g. digital and logic instrumentation, computers, FFT's, etc, are to be judged in their own right against the relevant items of these Lists.
Specially designed water tunnel equipment, components, accessories and "databases" for the design and development of vessels, as follows, and "specially designed software" therefor-
(a) Automated control systems, instrumentation (including sensors) and data acquisition equipment specially designed for water tunnels;
(b) Automated equipment to control air pressure acting on the surface of the water in the test section during the operation of the water tunnel;
(c) Components and accessories for water tunnels, as follows-
(1) Balance and support systems;
(2) Automated flow or noise measuring devices; and
(3) Models of hydrofoil vessels, surface-effect vehicles, SWATH vessels and specially designed equipment and components embargoed by Item IL 1416 (a), (b), (c), (e), (f), (g) and (h) for use in water tunnels;
(d) "Databases" generated by use of equipment embargoed by this Item.
Explanatory Note:
The water tunnels referred to in this Item are used for the hydrodynamic testing of a fixed model, using a moving fluid.
Machinery and equipment for the manufacture of hydrofoil vessel and surface-effect vehicle and SWATH vessel structures and components, as follows, and specially designed components and accessories therefor-
