Analysis of Environmental Test Methods for Aircraft Electrical Equipment
Abstract
This investigation was authorized for the purpose of developing a standard set of test methods and requirements applicable to aircraft electrical equipment, for inclusion in present specifications. It is apparent from the results of this investigation that there is a definite need of a thorough revision of the various environmental tests included in the specifications for aircraft electrical components. The results of this project disclosed a general lack of definite information on most of the environmental test conditions and test limits, indicating the need of a long range investigation designed to gather the needed information. It is accordingly recommended that the Bureau of Aeronautics secure the cooperation of the Army Air Force and other interested agencies in arranging a series of conferences at which agreements will be reached and plans will be formulated to study test conditions on which information is lacking. The Naval Research Laboratory is interested in this problem and will be glad to contribute to these conferences. The following recommended tests are listed here: Salt Fog Test, Humidity Test, Fungus Test, Vibration Test, Altitude Test, High Temperatures Test, Low Temperatures Test, Sand and Dust Test, and Dielectric Test.
