This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) presents reference information for use in preparing detailed specifications and other documents. The intent is to have a master reference document containing frequently required tabulations of information, such as the meaning of abbreviations, the spelled out wording of acronyms, the definition of terms, etc. so that such tabulations need not be repeated in recommended practice documents describing how to prepare technical documents. This document is intended to provide references in the field of fluid system components for space applications. Space applications include spacecraft, such as satellites, space stations, launch vehicles and space shuttles, and servicing equipment and components used for ground systems and launching and for servicing in space. Fluid system components include couplings, fittings, hose and tubing assemblies.

This document defines the requirements for a threadless, flexible, self-bonding coupling assembly, which, when installed on machined fixed cavity ferrules, provides a flexible connection for joining tubing and components in aircraft fuel, vent, or other systems. This assembled coupling, hereafter referred to as the assembly, is designed for use from -54 to 204 °C and at 862 kPa operating pressure. AS coupling components referenced herein have been qualified to AS1650. Ferrules referenced herein are inch ferrules adapted to metric tubing.
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) specifies test methods for fitting assemblies used in aircraft fluid systems in the pressure classes B, D, and E, and in temperature Types I, II, and III of MA 2001. This document applies each time that it is referred to in a procurement specification or other definition document. Fluids and materials used for the tests are listed in Section 2.
This international standard establishes flexure and pressure impulse test procedures for determining and classifying the fatigue strengths of bent aircraft hydraulic tubing. The procedures are intended for use with high- and low-pressure system assemblies for evaluation of new materials or for qualification purposes.
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 Performance Standard covers the Qualification Test Requirements for separable fittings, permanent fittings, and tubing suitable for use in 8000 psi aerospace fluid power systems. The standard treats each of these elements as part of a “system” in which each element has a specific critical relationship one to the other This document is applicable to both the pressure (8000 psi) and the return (4000 psi) portions of an 8000 psi rated system. Rationale for tests, testing philosophy, and key words are covered in Sections 5 and 6.
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes the requirements for a grooved clamp coupling and flanges suitable for joining intermediate pressure and temperature ducting in aircraft pneumatic systems. The coupling joint assembly, hereafter referred to as "the joint", shall operate within the temperature range of -65 °F external ambient to +800 °F internal fluid.
This recommended practice establishes the method for qualification testing of tube joints and fitting attachments, using the flexure test method described in ARP 1185. This qualification test method requires the determination of S-N type curves except that tube deflections are plotted versus the number of test cycles, as illustrated in AIR 1418. This is an alternate to flexure testing to a single stress level as specified in MIL-F-18280.
This AIR is intended to describe and document a process presently in use for proof testing, which at the same time improves the fatigue life of 304 1/8 hard CRES and 3Al-2.5V CWSR titanium hydraulic tubing lines.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) presents flexure fatigue strength of tube fitting joints in the form of graphs showing applied deflection D and total calculated axial stress S versus number of cycles to failure N. The graphs have been prepared from data obtained by actual testing conducted in accordance with ARP1185.

This Aerospace Information Report (AIR) establishes flexure test procedures to determine and classify the fatigue strengths of reconnectable or permanent hydraulic tube joints. The procedure is intended for conducting flexure tests of fittings and joints for hydraulic tubing materials such as AMS 5561 steel, AMS 4944 titanium and MIL-T-7081 aluminum alloy, mounted as free-free resonant beams. Of particular advantage are the inherent simplicity of test setup, minimum restraint from a test fixture, low power requirements, short test duration, and ease of varying stress level.
