SCOPE 1.1 This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) aims at identifying the design criteria and testing methods adequate to guarantee
11、the ultimate load and operational dependability of cargo restraint strap assemblies with a typical 22250 N (5000 lbf) rated ultimate tension load capability, as used by the airline industry in order to restrain cargo on board civil transport aircraft during flight: a. cargo loaded and tied down onto
12、 airworthiness certified air cargo pallets, themselves restrained into aircraft lower deck or main/upper deck cargo systems and meeting the requirements of NAS 3610 or AS36100, or b. non-unitized individual pieces of cargo, or pieces of, cargo placed onto an unrestrained (“floating”) pallet into eit
13、her lower deck or main deck containerized cargo compartments of an aircraft. 1.2 The same restraint strap assemblies can also be used in other applications such as: a. restraint of non-containerized (bulk loaded) baggage and cargo in aircraft compartments, b. to ensure cargo restraint inside an airw
14、orthiness certified air cargo container. NOTE 1: The ultimate loads allowable on the attachment points available in most aircraft bulk compartments and inside most air cargo containers are significantly lower than 22250 N (5000 lbf). This results in the restraint arrangements ultimate load capabilit
15、y being dictated by the weakest element, i.e., the attachment points; typical 22250 N (5000 lbf) ultimate load restraint straps will, therefore, be in excess of the allowable for such applications. 1.3 This Standard describes the design criteria for individual restraint strap assemblies, but does no
16、t intend specifying in any manner the way they are to be used aboard aircraft to ensure proper restraint throughout the certified flight envelope. Tie-down arrangements shall meet all the applicable requirements of the Airworthiness Authorities approved Weight and Balance Manual for the aircraft typ
17、e or sub-type concerned, particularly as regards, but not necessarily limited to, ultimate load factors to be taken into account to determine the number of straps to be used in each direction of restraint, maximum angles to be observed with the direction of restraint, minimum spacing of attachment p
18、oints, etc. 1.4 When restraint strap assemblies are attached to the edge rails of a certified air cargo pallet meeting the requirements of NAS 3610 or AS36100, operating instructions should duly take into account the restraint net attachment point locations on the pallet edge rail and other requirem
19、ents defined by the appropriate NAS 3610 or AS36100 configuration drawing(s). 1.5 The use of reliable and guaranteed restraint strap assemblies does not alone ensure flight safety: it also requires straps to be used and tie-down to be performed in accordance with operating instructions established b
20、y the aircraft manufacturer, by competent, suitably trained, personnel. 1.6 Subject to proper operating instructions as per 1.3 and 1.4 being defined and complied with, using unit restraint strap assemblies manufactured to an adequate design and a tested ultimate load capability is nevertheless deem
21、ed necessary in order to ensure flight safety. General utilization guidelines and calculation methods adequate to guarantee the effectiveness and ultimate load strength of tie-down/lashing arrangements performed to restrain cargo on board civil transport aircraft may be found in ARP5595 (or ISO 1604
22、9-2 equivalent). SAE INTERNATIONAL AS5385D Page 4 of 21 2. REFERENCES 2.1 Applicable Documents The following publications form a part of this document to the extent specified herein.

A characteristic of webbing is its narrow fabric selvedge. 2.2.4 TENSIONING DEVICE Mechanical device inducing a tensile force in the load restraint assembly (e.g., ratchets, winches, overcenter buckles). See examples in Figu
36、re 1, C1, C2, and C6. 2.2.5 TENSION RETAINING DEVICE Metallic part connecting the webbing by clamping action and retaining the force induced in the tensioning device by hand (e.g., cambuckles, sliding bar buckles). SAE INTERNATIONAL AS5385D Page 6 of 21 2.2.6 END FITTING Metallic device connecting t
37、he webbing or the tensioning device to the attachment point on the aircraft structure, the pallet edge rail or the load (see examples in Figure 1, D1 to D4). NOTE 2: The end fittings most commonly used on air cargo restraint straps include: a. retainer equipped flat hook (see example in Figure 1, D1
38、), b. air cargo tie-down double stud (male) fitting that conforms to either ISO 9788, for restraint of 22250 N (5000 lbf) ultimate load, or AS33601, for lower ultimate loads, connected directly (sewn to the webbing, see example in Figure 1, D3) or by an intermediate ring, or c. piece of aircraft res

40、SEMBLY 2.2.8.1 Length (IGF) Length of a fixed end, measured from the force bearing point of the end fitting to the outer turning radius of the connection of the webbing to the tensioning device (see Figure 2). 2.2.8.2 Length (IGL) Length of an adjustable end, measured from the free end of the webbin
41、g with the minimum possible length engaged into the closed tensioning device to the force bearing point of the end fitting (see Figure 2). 2.2.8.3 Total Length (I) (IGF) + (IGL) + length of the tensioning device. 2.2.9 BREAKING FORCE (BF) The maximum force that the restraint strap assembly withstand
42、s when tested in a complete form, i.e., with tensioning device and end fittings. 2.2.10 HAND FORCE (HF) Force applied to the handle of the tensioning device, which creates the tensile force in the restraint strap assembly. 2.2.11 LIMIT LOAD (LL) The maximum load to be expected in service. Refer to 1
43、4 CFR/EASA CS 25.301 (a). It is two-thirds of the ultimate load (see hereafter); i.e., 14827 N (3333 lbf) for a typical rated ultimate load of 22250 N (5000 Ibf).
