Scope
This document presents a glossary of many terms found in literature related to aviation oxygen systems and associated topics. Such a listing can never be all inclusive, but the majority of important terms are anticipated to be included for reference.
Rationale
This document consolidates reference definitions to many terms related to aviation oxygen systems. It was prepared as a reference to cover the multi-disciplinary aspects required to responsibly address work in the area of aviation oxygen systems. The goal is to provide a common reference and definitions that engineers, physiologists and others could use to understand concepts that are not specific to their area of expertise.

Issuing Committee
A-10 Aircraft Oxygen Equipment Committee
Welcome to the SAE A-10 Aircraft Oxygen Equipment Committee public forum area.
The SAE A-10 Aircraft Oxygen Equipment Committee develops standards and practices in the design and information compiled from users, equipment suppliers, aircraft manufacturers, regulatory agencies and medical groups in the aeronautical oxygen field. The A-10 Committee also promotes safety in the aviation oxygen field. It defines the needs and encourages research needed in the area of aviation physiology, as it relates to respiratory functions and oxygen equipment performance.Reference

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
