41、eak) limits shall be defined by successful completion of an induced moisture margin study. An Induced Moisture Margin Study is defined as the purposeful introduction and equilibration of moisture into sealed inflators to determine the resulting degradation in inflator performance. The acceptable lim

42、it of maximum potential degradation in performance by induced moisture shall be less than or equal to 10% of the nominal baseline performance over the fifteen year life of the vehicle. The acceptable leak limit is calculated based on the following assumptions: 1. daily respiration of 33C, 80% RH air

43、 (Reference MIL STD 810), 2. differential pressure based on a diurnal temperature range of 38 C. (Reference MIL STD 810), 3. all water is retained (i.e. no water is expired on each cycle), 4. cycles (1 per day for 15 years), 5. instantaneous min to max temperature change, 6. hour duration at each co

44、ndition, 7. and a circular duct of the shortest possible length. The calculated leak rate shall allow less water intrusion into the inflator than is demonstrated by the Induced Moisture Margin Study to degrade the inflator performance by less than or equal to 10%. The leak rate limit shall be set at

45、 a maximum of the calculated requirement, or 1 X 10 -4 cc/atm sec., assuming 100% Helium (or equivalent), which ever is less. For stored gas inflators, hermeticity limits shall be defined by the combined fifteen year loss of less than 10% of the baseline nominal performance in a closed tank test whe

46、n taking into account, both an induced moisture margin studies for any pyrotechnics not inside the pressurized region, and the gas loss of the pressure vessel(s). The overall hermeticity limit shall be set at the resulting calculated value limiting the potential degradation of the inflator performan

47、ce over the 15 year vehicle life to less than or equal to 10%. 3.2.9.1 Leak Detection: All inflator(s) shall contain Helium or an equivalent substance which shall be detectable if a leak is present in the pressure vessel and pyrotechnic chamber per Section 5.2.3.1, Leak Test. Alternate procedures ar

48、e acceptable (i.e. bombing, etc.) where process reliability and sensitivity are demonstrated to the Responsible Vehicle Engineering Organization. 3.2.9.2 Pressurized Inflators: All stored gas pressure bearing components shall remain intact and shall not leak at a rate greater than that determined in

49、 Section 3.2.9, Hermeticity after exposure to pressure cycling per Section 5.2.4.10, Pressure Cycle Durability Test (pressurized inflation devices) and tested per Section 5.2.3.1, Leak Test.
