This project is part of the 5-year cycle review, minor clarification is proposed for the Material limits for coated or plated threads. Also, a short reference to 3BG threads is reinstated (pointing to MIL-S-8879 Rev A) for reference on legacy designs and end user awareness. Finally minor editorial updates are suggested, and tables are digitalized to improve searchability.
This specification covers procedures for ultrasonic immersion inspection of premium-grade wrought titanium and titanium alloy round billet 5 inches (127 mm) and over in nominal diameter (see 2.6.1). Metal alloy billets other than titanium may be tested to this specification with the use of suitable reference standards.
This specification covers procedures for identifying carbon and low-alloy steels, corrosion- and heat-resistant steels and alloys, maraging and other highly alloyed steels, and iron alloy sheet, strip, and plate, and aircraft tubing.
The test method describes the procedure for the direct determination of water concentration in polyol ester and diester based aerospace lubricants by commercially available automated coulometric Karl Fischer titration instruments. The method was validated to cover the water concentration range of 150 to 3500 µg/g. The method may also be suitable for the determination of water concentrations outside this range and for other classes of fluids; however, the precision statement shall not be applicable for such uses.
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) addresses the general procedure for the best practices for minimizing uncertainty when calibrating thermal conductivity and cold cathode vacuum gauges, which includes the vacuum sensor(s) and accompanying electronics necessary for a pressure measurement to be made. It also includes the best practices for an in-process verification where limitations make it impossible to follow the best practices for minimizing uncertainty. Verifying the accuracy and operation of vacuum gauges is critical to ensure the maintenance of processes while under vacuum.
This standard covers the requirements for non-separable, airframe anti-friction needle bearings, corrosion resistant and traditional materials, intended for use in flight vehicle control systems, with radial loads.
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) provides information to be considered when performing the safety assessment of electrified propulsion aircraft. Its main focuses are: ● Typical new technologies introduced by electrified propulsion and their impact on safety ● The failure modes of electrified propulsion systems and their components ● Potential effects of failures at system and aircraft levels ● Possible strategies to minimize failures and mitigate their effects The information in this document may be used to generate inputs for system and aircraft safety assessments based on industry standards such as SAE ARP4761. The first issue of this document addresses battery systems, power electronics, eMotors, electrical interconnects and thermal management for fully electric configurations. Future issues are expected to address other subsystems, components and configurations.
This document seeks to classify all-wheel drive (AWD) architectures primarily based on the installed hardware and does not consider the implementation of the controls and software. For example, a power transfer unit (PTU) may be equipped with a clutch that is capable of torque management, but the control implementation only uses it for disconnection functions without torque management. In this SAE Recommended Practice, attention will be given to passenger cars and light trucks (through Class III). The definitions presented herein may also be applicable to heavy trucks (Class 4 through 8) and off-highway applications using more than two axles but are primarily focused on passenger cars and light trucks.
This specification covers a precipitation hardenable, corrosion- and heat-resistant nickel alloy in the form of seamless tubing 0.125 inch (3.18 mm) and over in nominal OD and 0.015 inch (0.38 mm) and over in nominal wall thickness.
