AIRCRAFT WIRE ABRASION RESISTANCE

The proper installation of wiring will dramatically reduce unnecessary stresses and result in an uneventful service life. In the real world, wires rub against various airplane components and can create unsafe conditions from both physical and functional viewpoints. Because of this, materials must be selected that can endure mechanical stresses and not pose a hazard to an aircraft’s airworthiness. t

There are several considerations that go into determining the abrasion resistance tolerance necessary for an application. Both the materials and the processing of wires/cables have an impact on abrasion resistance.  Here we look at abrasion test methods and how the results can help you to understand the service life of airplane components.   Read more
