Scope
The scope of this SAE Recommended Practice includes practical applications, theory, process management, audit and control recommendations, limitations, additional considerations, and process documentation.
Rationale
To evaluate whether a balancing system produces reliable unbalance indications, a calibration needs to be performed; however, this is quite an elaborate procedure (refer to AS8617) using special test rotors according to ARP4162, and will test for machine performance only. It will not show if the current task is set up correctly and produces valid unbalance indication. During production, a shortened validation procedure—called a response check—is a useful tool to confirm the actual performance of a balancing task when results are in doubt, or to validate a completed balancing process for a particular part or module. For any balancing process, it is a useful procedure to prove the final balancing results.
The purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to inform and guide the reader in conducting response checks to validate measurement results.

Issuing Committee
The SAE EG-1A Balancing committee concerns itself with all balancing methods and procedures as they relate to the interests of the aerospace industry. The group’s scope includes creating, preparing and, maintaining all relevant specifications, recommended practices, standards and, requirements for rotor balance measurement, evaluation and, correction. The SAE EG-1A committee includes OEMs, suppliers, processors, consulting firms, government, academia and others throughout both the commercial and military aerospace industries.

* 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.
