Form:

This standard describes the accepted methods used for testing aerospace sealants for qualification and for quality conformance or acceptance testing.

Application:

This standard is intended to be used with AMS specifications or other materials specifications which govern the procurement of aerospace sealants.

NOTE: All test procedures and associated test materials designated in this standard were adopted from current military and consensus material specifications for sealing compounds. Cross-references for equivalent test materials may be obtained using documents such as the SAE AMS Index or the ASTM Metals Alloys in the Unified Numbering Systems reference manuals.

Safety - Hazardous Materials:

While the materials, methods, applications, and processes described or referenced in this standard may involve the use of hazardous materials, this standard does not address the hazards which may be involved in such use. It is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure familiarity with the safe and proper use of any hazardous materials and to take necessary precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all personnel involved.
