Storage of Elastomeric Seals and Seal Assemblies Which Include an Elastomer Element Prior to Hardware Assembly
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) addresses the general requirements for data recording procedures, packaging, and storing of aerospace elastomeric seals and seal assemblies which include an elastomeric element prior to the seal being assembled into hardware components. The requirement for packaging is an integral part of the controlled storage procedure and provides a means of positive product identity from the time of manufacture to the time of assembly into a component. This document does not establish limitations or storage times for assembled components nor the operating life of said components. The information contained in this ARP is intended to be utilized by those organizations who do not have specific requirements or recommendations already in place for the control of elastomeric seals and seal assemblies. This ARP can be specified in control, storage, and procurement documents. However, when the requirements of this document are in conflict with the customer's requirements or specifications, the requirements of the customer's detailed specification shall govern
