Description / Abstract:
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) shall be limited
to information about corrosion caused by fluoride offgassing of
fluoropolymer-based wire insulation. It reviews published reports
of corrosion caused by this phenomenon, describes scenarios where
this may be a concern, mitigation options, and references a test
method which can be used to evaluate wire insulations where
needed.
Purpose
This document provides basic information to wire manufacturers,
OEMs, and end users about fluoride offgassing from wire insulation,
including effects, applications of concern, test methods, and
recommendations.
