SAE AS 85421 Fittings - Standard Test for Beam Gasket

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of SAE AS 85421 testing. This standard covers end fittings, fitting stems and hub fittings for use in aviation fluid systems. Design requirements are for grade 3000 in corrosion resistant steel (CRES) only and grade 4000 in titanium alloy (Ti) only.

SAE AS 85421 is a general standard developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) for split pipe fittings used in fluid systems operating at pressures up to 3000 or 4000 psi. The fittings covered by this standard are designed with a beam seal and are used in a wide variety of applications, including aerospace, automotive and industrial systems.

The AS 85421 standard covers various types of fasteners, including straight connectors, elbows, braces and adapters. These fittings are designed for use with metal tubing or flexible hose assemblies and are designed to provide reliable, sealed connections in high pressure systems.

Some of the basic requirements specified in the AS 85421 standard are:

• Design and performance requirements for beam gasket used in fittings;
• Material properties for fittings, including compatibility with various fluids and media;
• Dimensional and tolerance requirements for fittings, including thread specifications;
• Requirements for testing and qualification of fittings, including pressure testing and vibration testing.

The purpose of the AS 85421 standard is to ensure that split pipe fittings used in fluid systems operating at pressures up to 3000 or 4000 psi meet certain performance and reliability requirements and can be used safely in a variety of applications. The specification helps standardize the design and manufacture of these fittings, which can simplify the process of selecting and installing fluid system components for engineers and technicians.
