Description / Abstract:
This SAE Standard includes performance requirements for
protective covers for flexible, non-metallic fuel tubing. Ultimate
performance of the protective cover may be dependent on the
interaction of the fuel tubing and protective cover. Therefore, it
is recommended that tubing and cover combinations be tested as an
assembly, where appropriate, to qualify to this document.
This document is intended to provide guidance in regard to key
performance parameters for protective covers for fuel tubing . This
document is designed to allow selection of predetermined
performance levels for these parameters.
The engineer may select a specification by the use of a line
call-out designation, which will denote the pertinent
characteristics of the cover material and/or the tube/cover
assembly and their corresponding performance criteria. The engineer
is not required to select every characteristic, but only those
deemed important to the application. Characteristics not covered by
this document and deemed important to the engineer should be added
using "Z" suffixes, with a detailed description for each "Z" on the
part drawing.
This document may involve hazardous materials, operations, and
equipment. This document does not address the safety problems
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of
this document to consult and establish appropriate safety and
health practices, and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
