This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes the requirements for a V-band grooved clamp couplings that are intended for use on fluid-line tubing joints, tailpipe joints, and accessory mount joints, on flight vehicles or other attachments. The semi-rigid coupling joint assemblies, hereafter referred to as "the joint", shall operate within the temperature ranges specified in their applicable part standards.

Types

The coupling shall be classified as single or double latch couplings:

Single Latch Couplings

Type B - Basic T-bolt (Bolt)

Type R - Quick release (Release)

Type BL - Basic T-bolt with secondary safety latch (Bolt-Latch)

Type RL - Quick release with secondary safety latch (Release-Latch)

Double Latch Coupling (-21 minimum size)

Type BR - Basic T-bolt and quick release (Bolt-Release)

Type BRL - Basic T-bolt and quick release with secondary safety latches (Bolt-Release-Latch)
