This document provides information and guidance material to assist in assessing the need for and feasibility of developing deicing facilities, the planning (sizing and siting) and design of deicing facilities, and assessing environmental considerations and operational considerations associated with deicing facilities. The document presents relevant information necessary to define the need for a deicing facility and factors influencing its size, location, and operation. The determination of the need for deicing facilities rests with airports.

This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes Type classification for those hose assemblies commonly used in aerospace fuel, lubricating oil, and hydraulic fluid systems.

This SAE Information Report describes the processing and fabrication of carbon and alloy steels. The basic steelmaking process including iron ore reduction, the uses of fluxes, and the various melting furnaces are briefly described. The various types of steels: killed, rimmed, semikilled, and capped are described in terms of their melting and microstructural differences and their end product use. This document also provides a list of the commonly specified elements used to alloy elemental iron into steel. Each element’s structural benefits and effects are also included. A list of the AISI Steel Products Manuals is included and describes the various finished shapes in which steel is produced.

Any ROPS meeting the performance requirement of ISO 5700 (Static ROPS Test Standard) or ISO 3463 (Dynamic ROPS Test Standard) meets the performance requirements of this SAE Standard if the ROPS temperature/material and seat belt requirements of this document are also met.

This SAE Recommended Practice applies to 12 V storage batteries which operate in a voltage regulated charging system. It simulates heavy-duty applications by subjecting the battery to deeper discharge and charge cycles than those encountered in starting a vehicle. The deeper discharge and charge cycles in service may come from a combination of the following conditions: a Frequent occurrences of total electrical load exceeding the alternator output. b Frequent occurrences of battery system supplying the electrical loads when the engine is not operating. c Frequent occurrences of prolonged vehicle storage combined with high vehicle key-off loads. Batteries will be classified into two types for this life test. Type 1 applies to batteries with reserve capacity of 200 min or less. Type 2 applies to batteries with reserve capacity greater than 200 min. (“C” value for Type 1 equals 25.0; “C” value for Type 2 equals 50.0.)

This specification covers an aluminum alloy in the form of sheet with fine grain structure.

This specification covers the requirements for compositions of corrosion-resistant (18-8) steel bars, rods, wire and forging stock.

This specification covers electrical iron in the form of bar, sheet, strip, and plate.

This SAE Recommended Practice defines diagnostic test modes, and request and response messages, necessary to be supported by vehicle manufacturers and test tools to meet the requirements of the California OBD II and Federal OBD regulations, which pertain to vehicle emission-related data only. These messages are intended to be used by any service tool capable of performing the mandated diagnostics. In addition, capabilities are defined that are intended to meet other Federal and State regulations pertaining to related issues such as Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) and service information availability. This document provides the mechanism to satisfy requirements included in regulations, and not all capabilities included in this document are required by regulations. This document also is not considered a final authority for interpretation of the regulations, so the reader should determine the applicability of the capabilities defined in this document for their specific need.

This document establishes the requirements for physical and chemical properties and the minimum tests to evaluate suitability of phosphate ester hydraulic fluids for use in aircraft systems where fire resistance is required. Additional tests may be specified by procuring agencies to demonstrate compliance with specific requirements.

This specification covers an aluminum alloy in the form of extruded bars, rods, wire, shapes, and tubing, flash welded rings fabricated from extruded stock, and stock for flash welded rings.

This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) defines minimum performance standards, qualification requirements, and minimum documentation requirements for passenger and crew seats in civil rotorcraft, transport aircraft, and general aviation aircraft. The goal is to achieve comfort, durability, and occupant protection under normal operational loads and to define test and evaluation criteria to demonstrate occupant protection when a seat/occupant/restraint system is subjected to statically applied ultimate loads and to dynamic impact test conditions set forth in the applicable Federal Regulations 14 CFR Part 23, Part 25, Part 27, or Part 29. This document also provides guidance for design by enumerating certain design goals to enhance comfort, serviceability, and safety. Guidance for test procedures, measurements, equipment, and interpretation of results is presented to promote uniform techniques and to achieve acceptable data.

This specification covers a corrosion and heat resistant nickel alloy in the form of bars, forgings, flash welded rings, and stock for forging or flash welded rings.

This specification covers requirements and recommendations for the heat treatment of wrought aluminum alloy raw materials (See 8.1.1 and 8.1.8). It is intended to replace MIL-H-6088.

These specifications cover dipped goods and coatings made from compounded latex. Products manufactured from this material include boots, coated clips, coated sponge parts, and coated fabrics for automotive applications.

The small-displacement direct-injection (DI) diesel engine is a prime candidate for future transportation needs because of its high thermal efficiency combined with near term production feasibility. Ford Motor Company and FEV Engine Technology, Inc. are working together with the US Department of Energy to develop a small displacement DI diesel engine that meets the key challenges of emissions, NVH, and power density. The targets for the engine are to meet ULEV emission standards while maintaining a best fuel consumption of 200g/kW-hr. The NVH performance goal is transparency with state-of-the-art, four-cylinder gasoline vehicles. Advanced features are required to meet the ambitious targets for this engine. Small-bore combustion systems enable the downsizing of the engine required for high fuel economy with the NVH advantages a four- cylinder has over a three-cylinder engine.

The U.S. Department of Transportation's ITS Joint Program Office is supporting an extensive, multi-year program of accelerated standards development to facilitate the successful national deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems The program is supporting and accelerating the existing ITS consensus-based volunteer standards processes already underway in the U.S.. This paper explains the background and goals of the program and reports on progress to date. The standards chosen for the JPO program include both infrastructure standards and vehicle standards, although the focus is on infrastructure standards which support public sector needs. It is intended that the more rapid development of ITS standards through this program will help accelerate the deployment of ITS on a nationwide basis, thus providing the benefits of safer, more efficient, nationally integrated advanced transportation as early as possible.

An overview description of candidate energy converters being considered for application in the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV) program is presented. These energy converters include compression-ignition, direct-injection (CIDI) engines, gas turbine turbogenerators (T/G), and Stirling-cycle machines. Chrysler Corporation is investigating the CIDI engine for use in a parallel hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), Ford is investigating T/Gs, and General Motors is developing a Stirling-cycle generator for use in a series HEV. A summary of ongoing work for each of these technologies is provided, including current project status and future plans. An overview of current PNGV specifications for highly efficient energy converters is also included.
