SAE AS 4273 Fire Testing of Fluid Transport Components for Aircraft Engines and Aircraft Engine Installations

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of SAE AS 4273 testing. This standard specifies requirements, test procedures and acceptance criteria for fire testing of fluid handling components and materials used in aircraft fluid systems.

SAE AS 4273 Fire Testing of Fluid Transport Components for Aircraft Engines and Aircraft Engine Installations

Applicable to fluid handling components (eg hoses, tubing, coils, fittings) other than those specified by AS 1055. It also applies to materials, cables and components such as reservoirs, valves, gearboxes, pumps, filter assemblies, accumulators, liquid-cooled electrical/electronic components, in-flight fluid system instrumentation, hydromechanical controls, actuators, heat exchangers. These components can be used in fuel, lubrication, hydraulic or pneumatic systems.

The test method in SAE AS 4273 involves subjecting fluid transport components to a series of fire tests that simulate the various fire scenarios that can occur in an aircraft engine or installation. The tests assess the component's resistance to ignition, flame propagation, and structural deterioration due to exposure to flames and high temperatures.

Generally, SAE AS 4273 is used to ensure that fluid transport components used in aircraft engines and engine installations have sufficient fire resistance to prevent the spread of fire and to minimize the risk of catastrophic failure in the event of an engine fire. Test results can help aircraft manufacturers and operators select components that meet safety requirements and minimize the risk of fire-related incidents.
