PACCAR provided the executive leadership guiding this year's SAE COMVEC conference held in mid-September in Schaumburg, Illinois. It was fitting, then, that John Rich, senior vice president and chief technology officer at PACCAR, kicked off the event as the featured keynote speaker. His presentation centered around the event's theme: “Shaping the Future Together” by embracing advancement, empowerment and exploration in the commercial vehicle industry. He also answered a range of questions during a sit-down with Phil Stephenson, general manager of PACCAR Technical Center, who served as the COMVEC executive chair. Following are a few of the key insights Rich shared with attendees in the packed venue.
This SAE Standard covers complete general and dimensional specifications for the various types of tube fittings intended for general application in the automotive, appliance, and allied fields. Refer to SAE J1131 for the performance requirements of reusable (push to connect) fittings intended for use in automotive air brake systems. Flare-type fittings shall be as specified in Figures 1 to 4 and Tables 3 to 5. Inverted flared-type fittings shall be as specified in Figures 5 to 11 and Tables 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Gauges and gauging procedures pertaining to inverted flared tube fittings are given in Appendix A. Tapered sleeve compression-type fittings intended for general use with annealed copper alloy tubings shall be as specified in Figures 12 to 17 and Tables 3, 10, 11, and 12. To assure satisfactory performance, spherical sleeve compression-type fitting components (refer to SAE J246) should not be intermixed with tapered sleeve compression-type fitting components when assembling
This document is reissued for application to helicopters. It is primarily intended to apply to the engine or engines, but it shall also apply to fire protection of lines, tanks, combustion heaters, and auxiliary powerplants (APU). Post-crash fire protection is also discussed.
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) provides the essential minimum design, installation, and removal standard for AS5103 plugs and is applicable when specified on engineering drawing, or in procurement documents.
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes the requirements for fluid fittings that combine both weld fitting end and 24° cone flareless fitting end connections for use in all types of fluid systems.
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) covers procedures or methods to be used for fabricating, handling, testing, and installation of oxygen lines in an aircraft oxygen system.
This specification classifies fusion welds according to structural integrity requirements and establishes inspection methods and acceptance standards for welded tubular assemblies used in aerospace applications.
The increased functionality of today’s medical devices is astounding. Optical devices, for example, analyze chemicals, toxins, and biologic specimens. Semiconductor devices sense, analyze, and communicate. Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices utilize inertial methods to detect motion, direct light, and move components over short distances. Radiofrequency (RF) devices communicate wirelessly to other devices directly and remotely over the Internet. Handheld acoustic devices scan the body and build a virtual 3D model that shows conditions in the body. The innovation currently happening in the medical device industry is staggering, limited only by imagination and finding technical methods to implement the vision.
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) includes general information about the various types and styles of flexible tanks and the tank-mounted fittings that adapt the tank to the surrounding structure and fluid-system plumbing. Recommendations are given relative to the dimensional layout of the tank when these recommendations serve to avoid tank fabrication problems and tank/structure interface problems. As a part of these recommendations, critical dimensions of plumbing adapter fittings are discussed and recommendations made. Tank manufacturing tolerances are given. Recommendations are made relative to cavity design and preparation to facilitate a reliable installation. The special installation requirements of nonself-sealing, self-sealing, and crash-resistant tanks are discussed. This document is not intended to replace the information or requirements of the military and commercial procurement specifications listed in Section 2. No attempt has been made, except in a very general
This specification and part standard specifies polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin material and the dimensional requirements for scarf-cut retainers (backup rings) previously specified by MIL-R-8791 and MIL-R-8791/1. The retainers are intended for use in hydraulic and pneumatic system components as anti-extrusion devices in conjunction with seals and O-rings.
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes the requirements for bite type sleeves for use with 24° cone flareless fluid connection fittings per AS4444.
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes the requirements for 24° cone flareless fluid connection fittings and nuts and bite type flareless sleeves for use in aircraft fluid systems at an operating pressure of 5000 psi for the fittings and nuts and 3000 psi for the bite type sleeves.
This SAE Standard covers complete general and dimensional specifications for refrigeration tube fittings of the flare type specified in Figures 1 to 42 and Tables 1 to 15. These fittings are intended for general use with flared annealed copper tubing in refrigeration applications. Dimensions of single and double 45 degree flares on tubing to be used in conjunction with these fittings are given in Figure 2 and Table 1 of SAE J533. The following general specifications supplement the dimensional data contained in Tables 1 to 15 with respect to all unspecified details.
This aerospace test standard establishes the requirements and procedures for evaluating and comparing the impulse fatigue performance of high pressure hydraulic fittings and tubing. This test method may be used to test similar fluid system components, if desired.
The scope of this SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) is to establish the procedure for creating titles of aerospace tubing and clamp installation documents generated by SAE Subcommittee G-3E.
