What is PD IEC/TR 62131-2 - Vibration and shock in fixed wing jet aircraft about?
PD IEC/TR 62131-2 is a standard that covers vibration and shock in fixed wing jet aircraft, enabling data collection, data validity and data review to ensure consistency in testing applications.
PD IEC/TR 62131-2 reviews the available dynamic data relating to electrotechnical equipment transported in fixed wing jet transport aircraft. The intent is that from all the available data an environmental description will be generated and compared to that set out in IEC 60721.
In PD IEC/TR 62131-2, for each of the sources identified the quality of the data is reviewed and checked for self-consistency. The process used to undertake this check of data quality and that used to intrinsically categorize the various data sources are set out in IEC/TR 62131-1.
PD IEC/TR 62131-2 primarily addresses data extracted from a number of different sources for which reasonable confidence exists as to their quality and validity.
PD IEC/TR 62131-2 report also presents data for which the quality and validity cannot realistically be reviewed. These data are included to facilitate the validation of information from other sources. The report clearly indicates when it utilizes information in this latter category.
Who is PD IEC/TR 62131-2 - Vibration and shock in fixed wing jet aircraft for?
PD IEC/TR 62131-2 on vibration and shock in fixed wing jet aircraft applies to:
- Environmental testing agencies
- Testing personnel and inspectors
- Simulation testing agencies
- Quality assurance services
Why should you use PD IEC/TR 62131-2 - Vibration and shock in fixed wing jet aircraft?
Electrotechnical equipment and products are subjected to a multitude of vibrations and shocks in transportation in fixed wing jet aircrafts. These vibrations and shocks can occur while take-off, initial climb, cruise, descent, landing etc. Data gathered through flight trials enables the design, development and packaging of electrotechnical equipment and components.
PD IEC/TR 62131-2 provides users guidance on data from several different transport aircraft, including Lockheed Tristar KC Mk1, BAe VC10 K, Boeing 747 Combi, McDonnell Douglas DC8 cargo and more, enabling users to select suitable data for their use case.
PD IEC/TR 62131-2 provides users guidance on data source and quality, intra data source comparison, inter-data source comparison, environmental description, supplementary data, comparison with IEC 60721 and recommendations, enabling information gathering and data validity to assess the impact of vibration and shocks.
With obedience and compliance to PD IEC/TR 62131-2, users can assess the impact of vibration and shocks that electrotechnical equipment are subjected to while transportation in fixed wing jet aircraft, enabling the identification of the severity of shocks at different stages of transportation to ensure stable operability, safety and performance.
