MIL-DTL-87173 Propellant, Priming Fluid, Alcm Engine, Grade Pf-1This specification covers one grade of high-density hydrocarbon fuel. This specification was thoroughly reviewed as a part of acquisition reform. While most of the requirements were converted to performance terms, due to the military-unique nature of the product \(see 6.1\) and the need for compatibility with deployed systems it was determined that not all requirements could be converted. The issuance of this specification as "detail" is not intended to constrain technology advances in future systems.
