A AEROSPACE STANDARD Issued 1996-08 Revised 2007-02 Superseding AS4273 (R) Fire Testing of Fluid Handling Components for Aircraft Engines and Aircraft Engine Installations RATIONALE This SAE Aerospace Sta

5、ndard (AS) presents an improved fire test procedure sequence and changes to meet the new FAA requirements specified in AC 33.17 and AC 20-135. 1. SCOPE This document establishes requirements, test procedures, and acceptance criteria for the fire testing of fluid handling components and materials use

6、d in aircraft fluid systems. It is applicable to fluid handling components other than those prescribed by AS1055 (e.g., hoses, tube assemblies, coils, and fittings). It also is applicable to materials, wiring, and components such as reservoirs, valves, gearboxes, pumps, filter assemblies, accumulato

7、rs, fluid-cooled electrical/electronic components, in-flight fluid system instrumentation, hydromechanical controls, actuators, heat exchangers, and manifolds. These components may be used in fuel, lubrication, hydraulic, or pneumatic systems. 1.1 Classifications Component assemblies shall be classi

8、fied according to fire test duration. The test methods described herein shall be applicable to each classification. 1.1.1 Fire Resistant The capability of a material or component to perform those functions intended under the heat and other conditions likely to occur at the particular location during

9、 a fire and to withstand a 2000 F flame (150 F) for 5 minutes minimum. 1.1.2 Fireproof The capability of a material or component to withstand a 2000 F flame (150 F) for 15 minutes minimum, while still performing those functions intended to be performed in case of fire.

All fl

11、ammable fluid tanks and their associated shutoff valves located in a fire zone shall be fireproof. Components which convey flammable fluids can be evaluated to a fire resistant standard provided the supply of flammable fluid is stopped by a shutoff feature. Engine fuel system components can be consi

12、dered to have a shutoff feature if the fuel flow would be shutoff with engine shutdown. Engine oil system components must consider that oil flow may continue after engine shutdown because of windmilling causing continued rotation of the oil pump. It should be noted that historically most oil system

13、components have been evaluated to a fireproof standard. Other flammable fluid conveying components such as hydraulic and thrust augmentation systems should be evaluated in a similar manner. Components adjacent to fire zones may be required to be fire resistant or fire proof (see AC20-135 Appendix 1)

14、. 1.3 Components Protected by Nonintegral Shields Components to be fire tested that are protected from direct flame impingement by a nonintegral fireproof device such as a shield, box, baffle, etc., must employ this device in the fire test. The device must be positioned per the installation and the

15、instrumentation that measures the flame temperature during the test be within 0.25 inches (6.36 mm) from the device. The burner is positioned as defined in 4.7, and the component must be positioned in its actual relationship to the device. 2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS The following publications form a pa

QUALI

23、FICATION Qualification or certification normally requires detailed test plans to be submitted to the purchaser and/or cognizant agency for approval prior to test. The test schedule must be coordinated with the appropriate agency to allow witnessing of the test unless witnessing is waived. For FAA ap

24、plications, conformity of the test specimen per FAA procedures and an FAA approved test plan will be required. Components qualified or certified to this document shall be products which have passed the fire test requirements listed or which comply with the similarity criteria described herein. Test

25、report(s) proving qualification of products to this document shall be furnished by the supplier to the purchaser and to agencies designated by the purchaser. Components that have been qualified to this document do not require retest to be qualified at lower pressures, lower fluid temperatures, and/o

26、r higher fluid flow rates unless those changes are more critical. Identical components with higher pressures, higher fluid temperatures, and/or lower flow rates or other significant changes shall be evaluated for retest. Qualification by similarity to a component previously qualified by test under s

27、imilar conditions shall include analyses to quantify the effects of any operating differences and physical differences from the original test parameters and test article. Factors to be considered shall include but not be limited to materials, construction, structural loading, installations, sealing

28、of shafts and parting surfaces, flow rates and distribution for cooling, surface area exposed to the flame, and fluid pressure/temperature. 4. TEST PROCEDURE 4.1 Test Purpose The tests prescribed herein are intended to verify that the test specimen will demonstrate compliance with fire resistance or

29、 fireproof requirements as defined in this document. 4.2 Test Requirements Component operating conditions maintained during the fire test shall represent realistic worst case flight conditions with regard to fire-resistance/fireproof capability. Engine-related components and associated lines and fit

30、tings shall be conveying fluids at the minimum flow rate for flight operation, corresponding pressure, and the highest fluid temperature encountered over the normal flight envelope. NOTE: For high-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic systems and other systems, the low flow condition may not be worst cas

31、e; analysis to determine worst case may be required. Flammable fluid tanks (i.e., oil tanks) shall be tested with a minimum flight idle fluid flow rate and maximum flight fluid temperature and system pressure for 5 minutes, and then immediately followed by a 10 minute engine shutdown fluid flow or w

32、indmill fluid flow depending on engine type and design. The fluid level shall be at the “minimum dispatch fluid level.” Any gulping volume shall be removed for the 5 minute low flow portion of the test and returned to the tank at the start of the 10 minute shutdown flow portion of the test. For an o

33、il system, “gulping“ refers to the volume of oil typically evacuated from the main oil tank and retained within the oil system during normal engine operation. This “gulping“ is generally evidenced by a decrease in oil tank quantity while the engine is operating normally, with the gulping volume reta

34、ined within the engine sumps. The gulped oil is scavenged back to the oil tank after the engine is shutdown. Rotational speeds and other applicable parameters shall also correspond to the selected defined and accepted flight condition. Copyright SAE International Provided by IHS under license with S

35、AENot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-SAE AS4273 Revision A - 4 - For nonengine related components, requirements shall be established based on the operating envelope with consideration of loading, fluid pressures, and temperatures at the minimum sustain

36、ed flow rate. All components shall be supplied with test fluid conforming to the primary fluid specified for the system in which the component is used. An explosive condition can conceivably be created by fuel leaks. A substitute test fluid may be used in place of the primary fuel if approved by the

37、 purchaser, and any leakage of the fluid meets the requirements of 4.3(a.3). 4.3 Success Criteria Guidelines These guidelines represent success criteria that have provided satisfactory results for evaluating the flame resistance of fluid handling components for aircraft and aircraft engines. For mor

38、e detailed certification guidelines (see FAA AC20-135 and AC33.17). a. Fire Test Pass/Fail Criteria: In general, the following fire test criteria have been applied to the test article and accepted: 1. Maintain the ability to perform those functions intended to be provided in the case of fire, includ

39、ing fuel shut off when so commanded. 2. No leakage of hazardous quantities of flammable fluids, vapors or other materials. In general no leakage should occur. Small drips or weeps may be acceptable if a safety assessment of the installation shows the resulting leakage would not cause or contribute t

40、o a hazardous condition. 3. No support of a sustained fire (e.g., rapid self-extinguishing and no re-ignition) by the constituent material of the article being tested or by flammable fluid leaking from the test article. 4. No burn through of firewalls. 5. No other hazardous conditions should result.

41、 NOTE: Hazardous Quantity: An amount of flammable fluid which could sustain a fire of sufficient severity and duration so as to significantly increase the overall fire hazard or result in a hazardous condition. b. Additional Fire Test Pass/Fail Criteria: Firewall isolation valves and their controls

42、shall be capable of closing off the supply of flammable fluid after 5 minutes of fire testing. If the valve is in the fire zone, the valve shall be exposed to flame for an additional 10 minutes after being closed. During additional 10 minute exposure the valve shall remain closed. The valve shall co

43、ntinue to perform its intended function of shutting off the supply of flammable fluid to the fire zone at the end of the test. 4.4 Instrumentation Instrumentation with corresponding accuracies, recording devices, and equipment calibration requirements shall be used to measure and record all necessar

44、y test parameters. These shall include but not be limited to the following: a. Fluid flow rate b. Fluid temperature c. Fluid pressure d. Burner orientation e. Burner calibration water flow rate1f.

The burner shall be calibrated prior to each test. The burner temperature and intensity requirements are covered in 4.6. Calibration of the flame hea

48、t flux density may be accomplished with either a water tube or a calorimeter. The procedures for both methods are covered by this document and can be found in 4.9. Figures 3 and 4 show the flame heat flux density calibration. If a water tube is used to calibrate the heat flux density, the burner sha
