This SAE Standard presents the minimum requirements for nonmetallic tubing with one or more layers manufactured for use in exhaust gas recirculation systems Requirements in this document apply to monowall tubing (one layer construction) and multilayer tubing. The tube construction can have a straight wall configuration, a wall that is convoluted or corrugated, or a combination of each.
This SAE Standard presents the minimum requirements for nonmetallic tubing with one or more layers manufactured for use as liquid carrying DEF lines for diesel engine selective catalyst reduction (SCR) after-treatment systems. Requirements in this document also apply to monowall tubing (one layer construction) and multi-layer constructions. Unless otherwise agreed to by suppliers and users this document applies to tubing for any portion of the DEF system that might operate continuously at temperatures above –40 °C and below 120 °C or for high temperature systems up to 160 °C. Maximum working pressure of 1140 kPa absolute. The tubing can be used at the peak intermittent exterior temperature up to 140 °C or 180 °C. Tubing systems supplied to this application are usually required to thaw from the frozen condition using various heating methods in operation complying with EPA requirements.
This SAE Standard presents the minimum requirements for nonmetallic tubing with one or more layers manufactured for use as pneumatic tubing in automotive air suspension lines. Requirements in this document also apply to monowall tubing (one layer construction) or multi-layer (MLT) constructions. Unless otherwise agreed to by suppliers and users this document applies to tubing for any portion of the fuel system that might operate continuously at temperatures above –40°C and below 90°C and up to a maximum working gage pressure of 1500 kPa. The tubing can be used at the peak intermittent temperature up to 115 °C with peak dynamic pressures of up to 2000 kPa. This document can apply to systems that operate at higher pressures and/or are exposed to higher temperatures with appropriate changes to the acceptance criteria within this document.
This SAE Standard covers nonreinforced, extruded, plastic tubing intended primarily for use as fluid lines for automotive windshield washer systems which conform to the requirements of SAE J942.
The SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is intended to be used as a process verification guide for evaluating implementation of key factors in bonded repair of fiber reinforced composite structure in a repair shop environment. The guide will be used in conjunction with a regulatory approved and substantiated repair, and is intended to promote consistency and reliability.
This document explains how industry standard SAE AS5553 supports implementation of DFARS 252-246-7007 using a practical cost effective and risk based approach
This guidebook will assist in the design and integration of composite commercial aircraft structures that exhibit improved durability, maintainability and repairability. For international use by composite aircraft component designers, this book identifies problems that have occurred with various composite components and provides potential problem-solving recommendations. Written primarily for composite design engineers, Design of Durable, Repairable, and Maintainable Aircraft Composites should also prove valuable to those in structural engineering, materials and processing, product support, advanced product development, systems engineering, technical services, and maintenance operations.
SAE CACRC has produced several standards, each representing the best-practice, recommended minimum training syllabus for the aforementioned target groups. The purpose of this document is to promote the use of these SAE standards, particularly for developing training programs for employee training, qualification in airlines and maintenance organizations, and as reference in regulatory guidance material. It summarizes, as a quick reference, the content of each training document and its relation to and interaction with other training documents. Thereby it allows users to select the appropriate training documents and syllabi to establish a comprehensive, sequential training program build-up customized to the specific needs of the aforementioned functions (see figure). This document does not intend to introduce new training content/syllabus.
To create Guidance on the essential information/data that is needed to correctly assess damage and document the damage. A guidance document is proposed as the initial step in which it is documented what essential information is required for a composite repair with the aim to reduce to number of back and forward communications, improve the documents to define damage such as mapping, damage descriptions, sketches, pictures. CACRC Procedures Task Group will be drafting the document.
Increased use of advanced composite structural materials on aircraft has resulted in the need to address the more demanding quality and non-destructive testing procedures. Accordingly, increased utilization of solid laminate composites is driving changes to airline NDT training requirements and greater emphasis on the application of accurate NDT methods. Modules, including an introduction to composite materials, composite NDI theory and practice, special cases and lessons learned, have been produced in addition to various hands-on NDT exercises. A set of proficiency specimens containing realistic composite structures and representative damage has been designed in order to reinforce teaching points of the course and “test” inspector’s proficiency. Extensive details of the course modules, hand-on exercises and the proficiency specimens are all presented in this report.
