2、SS-M98D33-A7 TUBE, NON-CONDUCTIVE, LOW PERMEATING FUEL VAPOR LINE 1. SCOPE These specifications define multilayered fuel and vapor lines comprised of a heat, hydrocarbon, water, and chloride resistant outer cover of polyamide or alloyed polyamide or equivalent material. The cover is well adhered to

3、a low fuel permeability and fuel/alcohol blend resistant inner tube such as conductive or non-conductive fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) or equivalent material. This construction is sufficiently flexible for ease of forming, assembly, and routing, and is resistant to kinking. 2. APPLICATIONS Th

4、ese specifications were released originally for electrically non-conductive fuel vapor (WSS-M96D33- A7) and electrically conductive supply and return liquid carrying fuel lines (WSS-M96D33-A8) where low permeation is required in light truck and passenger car applications. The maximum working pressur

5、e is 1000 kPa at 23 C. This tubing is designed to be used through a temperature range of -40 to +125 C with sustained operation at 125 C for 1000 hours and intermittent temperature excursions up to 150 C for 50 hours. This fuel line will meet the requirements for both reformulated and flexible fuels

6、. Note: The construction and performance properties of the WSS-M96D33-A7 and A8 are essentially the same except for inner tube electrical conductivity in the A8. Liquid fuel carrying applications must use the A8. 3. REQUIREMENTS 3.1 APPROVED SOURCES This specification requires the use of approved so

7、urces. Only the sources identified on the Ford Approved Source List (ASL) can be used when this specification is listed on the drawing, CAD file, or other documents. The list of approved sources is located within Ford at or available externally through a Ford Materials Engineer. 3.2 CONDITIONING AN

8、D TEST CONDITIONS All test values are based on material conditioned for not less than 24 h prior to testing in a controlled environment of 23 +/- 2 C and 50 +/- 5% relative humidity. Testing of the material should occur in the conditioning environment or soon after removal. 3.3 INFRARED SPECTROPHOTO

9、METRY AND/OR THERMAL ANALYSIS IR spectra and thermograms from initial material approval shall constitute the reference standard and shall be kept on file at the designated material laboratory. The material supplier shall ensure that all future material supplied to the specification shall produce IR

10、spectra and thermograms that correspond to the reference standard when tested under the same conditions.
