This SAE Metric Aerospace Recommended Practice (MAP) establishes the requirements for preparing a specification for fluid couplings for spacecraft servicing. The objective of this document is to provide design, development, verification, storage, and delivery requirement guidelines for the preparation of specifications for fluid couplings and the ancillary hardware for use with serviceable spacecraft designed for use in the space environment. The couplings shall be capable of resupplying storable propellants, cryogenic liquids, and gases to a variety of spacecrafts.
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes the requirements for 37° flared tube or machined cone fluid connection fittings (see Section 6) for use in all types of fluid systems.
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) establishes the specifications and descriptions of the critical components and operational guidelines for the standard hydraulic impulse machine for testing hydraulic hose assemblies, tubing, coils, fittings and similar fluid system components. This revision to the AIR1228 provides a description of a system that meets the requirements for specifications including: AS603, AS4265, and ARP1383. This impulse system utilizes closed loop servo control with specifically generated command signal waveforms. Data accuracy and integrity are emphasized in this revision. Knowing the uncertainty of the pressure measurement is important whether using a resonator tube system, as described in the original release of this document, or a closed-loop systems as described in this release. The accuracy of the data measurement system and consistency of the pressure waveform are fundamental to test validity, regardless of the system type.
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) provides required contours and limits of size of the surfaces of the internal fluid passages of tube fittings for the portions that are not already defined by the fitting end design standard drawings.
This Aerospace Standard (AS) defines the requirements for a metallic reinforced, duct assembly suitable for use in low pressure, 350 °F ground heaters.
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is intended to assist tube bending facilities dedicated to aerospace/aircraft applications. It describes in part the principles, methods, tool selection, and tool set-up requirements to achieve tube bends with aircraft quality.
This document establishes the requirements for Aeronautical National Form (ANPT) pipe threads, gages, and gaging methods for determining conformity of aeronautical taper pipe threads to this standard.
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes the requirements for a V-band grooved clamp couplings that are intended for use on fluid-line tubing joints, tailpipe joints, and accessory mount joints, on flight vehicles or other attachments. The semi-rigid coupling joint assemblies, hereafter referred to as “the joint”, shall operate within the temperature ranges specified in their applicable part standards.
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes the requirements for externally swaged tube fittings for use in hydraulic and other aerospace fluid systems in temperature range of -65 to 275 °F.
