Description / Abstract:
This recommended practice establishes vibration and
transmissibility test procedures which compare the relative
strengths of various loop and saddle type support clamps.
This procedure is intended for conducting fatigue testing which
is standard throughout the aerospace industry thereby establishing
a clamp strength comparison which can be used in an evaluation
process.
The testing required by this recommended practice ensures that
clamps will meet adequate fatigue requirements only. It does not
infer qualification of the clamp installation techniques or its
ability to meet in-service environments or operating conditions.
Separate qualification testing should be performed to ensure
satisfactory service of the installed clamp.
