This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) defines recommended analysis and test procedures for qualification of pneumatically@ electrically@ manually@ and hydraulically actuated air valves. They may be further defined as valves that function in response to externally applied forces or in response to variations in upstream and/or downstream duct air conditions in order to maintain a calibrated duct air condition (e.g.@ air flow@ air pressure@ air temperature@ air pressure ratio@ or air shutoff). Qualification testing performed on the airplane to verify compatibility of the valve function and stability as part of a complete system is outside the scope of this document. Refer to ARP1270 for design and certification requirements for cabin pressurization control system components. As this document is only a guide@ it does not supersede or relieve any requirements contained in detailed Customer specifications. Purpose The purpose of this ARP is to provide the aircraft industry with a guide for qualification of aircraft air valves.
