Developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the SAE ARP 1383 standard provides minimum requirements and test methods for impact testing of aviation hydraulic actuators, valves, pressure vessels, and similar fluid system components, excluding accumulators, for use in aviation hydraulic systems. It also refers to the standard impact test equipment that will be used in the implementation of these impact tests.
The SAE ARP1383 standard does not apply to the following hydraulic components because they are covered by different standards:
On the other hand, this standard does not apply to components that are not directly connected to the hydraulic system, such as master brake cylinders.
The SAE ARP 1383 standard aims at fatigue testing of a component as a pressure vessel. Testing of mechanical elements of hydraulic components, including levers, actuator rods and end fittings and the like, is not covered by this standard.
The pressure-impulse test in the mentioned standard is generally an accelerated fatigue test. This standard defines the recommended impact test procedures for the hydraulic equipment covered, and the procedure is divided into two categories:
The first category applies to general aviation hydraulic equipment impact testing, providing recommended pressure levels and test cycle requirements.
The second category is applicable to all aircraft configurations (including helicopters), both military and commercial, where the test requirements are specifically derived from the relevant system values.
Our organization, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given for businesses in various sectors, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, is the impact of aerospace hydraulic actuators, valves, pressure vessels and similar fluid system components within the scope of SAE ARP 1383 standard. It also provides testing services.
