This specification covers a low-alloy steel in the form of bare welding wire. Type 2 - copper coated wire was removed from this document (see 8.4).
This specification covers a copper-beryllium alloy in the form of bars and rods (see 8.5).
This document establishes a standardized test method designed to provide stakeholders—including runway deicing/anti-icing product manufacturers, users, regulators, and airport authorities—with a means of evaluating the relative ice penetration capacity of runway deicing and anti-icing products over time. The method measures ice penetration as a function of time, thereby enabling comparative assessments under controlled conditions. While commonly applied to runway treatments, these products may also be used on taxiways and other paved surfaces. The test is not intended to provide a direct measurement of the theoretical or extended ice penetration time of liquid or solid deicing/anti-icing products. Instead, it offers a practical and reproducible basis for performance evaluation, supporting operational decision-making and regulatory compliance.
This specification covers the requirements for silver deposited on metal parts with a copper strike between the basis metal and the silver deposit.

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) discusses design philosophy, system and equipment requirements, environmental conditions, and design considerations for rotorcraft environmental control systems (ECS). The rotorcraft ECS comprises that arrangement of equipment, controls, and indicators which supply and distribute dehumidified conditioned air for ventilation, cooling and heating of the occupied compartments, and cooling of the avionics. The principal features of the system are: a A controlled fresh air supply b A means for cooling (air or vapor cycle units and heat exchangers) c A means for removing excess moisture from the air supply d A means for heating e A temperature control system f A conditioned air distribution system The ARP is applicable to both civil and military rotorcraft where an ECS is specified; however, certain requirements peculiar to military applications—such as nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) protection—are not covered.
