2、ver polyamide coated steel brake tubes. 2. APPLICATION This specification was released originally for material used as a barrier coating for protecting brake tubes from environmental and mechanical damage. 3. REQUIREMENTS 3.1 APPROVED SOURCES This specification requires the use of approved sources.
3、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 AND TEST
4、CONDITIONS Whenever possible, all test specimens shall be die-cut from the finished parts. When not feasible, specimen cut from molded test sheets manufactured from the same material and with equivalent cure to molded parts are recommended and need approval by Materials Engineering representative. U
5、nless stated otherwise, 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 FORMED PART DIM
6、ENSIONS The sleeve material shall be fabricated from extruded polypropylene, it shall be homogeneous and essentially free from flaws, defects, pinholes, bubbles, seams, cracks, and inclusions. 3.3.1 Dimensions As specified on (ASTM D 2671) engineering drawing.3.3.2 Longitudinal Change +/- 5% max (10
