Scope
This standard describes test methods for insulated, single conductor, electric wire intended for aerospace applications. Particular requirements for the wire being tested need to be specified in a procurement document or other detail specification. Suggested minimum requirements are included in the notes at the end of some of the test methods. SAE Performance Standard AS4372 uses some of the tests in this document for evaluating comparative performance of aerospace wires.
Rationale
This revison adds the following new test methods: Adhesion of Nickel Coating, Spark Test of Finished Wire Insulation, Smoke Resistance, Fluoride Offgassing, Nitric Acid Immersion, Circumferential Insulation Elongation, Wrap (mandrel wrap) and High Temperature Endurance. Figures and tables were also modified to accomodate the new test methods.

Issuing Committee
AE-8D Wire and Cable Committee
SAE Subcommittee AE-8D Wire & Cable, shall be associated with those activities directed by the parent SAE Aerospace Council, the SAE Aerospace Electronics & Electrical System Division, and the SAE AE-8 Aerospace Electrical/Electronic Distribution Systems Committee, for the development and application of wires and cables and associated hardware standards and specifications.
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.
