/1/ Breaking strength applies to the cable strength only. For pull-off load test for crimped safety cable ends, see
Table 2.

3.4.2 Stretch Limits

When tested in accordance with [Link], the stretch limit in the cable shall be as follows:

a. The 0.022 inch (0.56 mm) nominal diameter cable as in [Link] shall not exceed 1% when it is loaded to 60% of the
minimum breaking strength as specified in Table 1.

b. The 0.032 inch (0.81 mm) nominal diameter cable as in [Link] shall not exceed 1.5% when it is loaded to 60% of the
minimum breaking strength as specified in Table 1.

c. The 0.040 inch (1.02 mm) nominal diameter cable as in [Link] shall not exceed 1.5% when it is loaded to 60% of the
minimum breaking strength as specified in Table 1.

d. The 0.062 inch (1.57 mm) nominal diameter cable as in [Link] shall not exceed 1.5% when it is loaded to 60% of the
minimum breaking strength as specified in Table 1.

[Link] Stretch Test

For each size and material, one specimen from each sample of wire strand or cable, taken from the production inspection
lot, shall be tested to determine the percent stretch. The length of the wire strand or cable specimen to be tested shall not
be less than 24 inches (609.60 mm). The amount of stretch shall be determined on a tension testing machine in accordance
with ASTM E8/E8M. The specimen shall be loaded to 1% of the minimum breaking strength specified in Table 1 to straighten
the wire strand or cable. While the specimen is under tension, a gage length not less than 10 inches (254.00 mm) shall be
marked on the specimen between the end fittings of the testing machine. The specimen shall then be leaded to 60% of the
minimum breaking strength and measured for elongation under load. From this data, the percent stretch can be read directly
or calculated using Equation 1:

% stretch = (100)(elongation under load)/(original length) (Eq. 1)

SAE INTERNATIONAL AS4536™D Page 7 of 11

3.4.3 Test Load

Each wire strand or cable shall carry 80% of its respective minimum breaking load. As specified in Table 1, without any
failures. The test loading shall be made using the same specimen used in the stretch test. Load the specimen to 1% of the
breaking strength, then increase the loading to 80% of the minimum breaking strength of the wire strand or cable and apply
for 5 seconds. At the end of the test, the specimen shall be removed, the entire specimen be completely unwound, and
each individual wire inspected. A suitable electronic device capable of detecting the breaking of individual wires during
testing may be used instead of unwinding the wires from the specimen. The failure of any wire shall be cause for rejection.

[Link] Use of Electronic Device for First Wire Break Test

The load shall be increased to 80% on the test specimen. If no ping is heard, the specimen has passed the test. If one or
more pings are heard, the specimen will be unraveled, and the broken wires shall confirm failure of the specimen. If no
broken wires are found, the specimen has passed the test.

3.4.4 Pull-Off Test

The crimped fitting end on the safety cable shall withstand a pull-off load not less than that specified in Table 2, determined
in accordance with ASTM E8/E8M.

Table 2 - Safety cable minimum crimp requirements (pull-off load)

Nominal Cable
Diameter Safety Cable Minimum Pull-Off Load

0.040 (1.02) 7x7 110 ( 489.3)
0.062 (1.57) 7 x 19 280 (1245.5)

3.5 Installation

Install safety cable in accordance with the installation and process instructions in AS567.

3.6 Quality

Kits of safety cables, individual safety cables, and individual ferrules as received by purchaser shall be uniform in quality
and condition, free from foreign materials, and free from imperfections detrimental to usage of the parts. The cut end of the
safety cable shall not contain frayed strands of wire.

4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS

4.1 Responsibility for Inspection

The manufacturer of parts shall supply all samples for manufacturer’s test and shall be responsible for performing all
required tests. Purchaser reserves the right to sample, and to perform any confirmatory testing deemed necessary to ensure
that the parts conform to the requirements of this specification.

4.2 Responsibility for Compliance

The manufacturer’s system for parts production shall be based on preventing product defects, rather than detecting the
defects at final inspection and then requiring corrective action to be invoked. An effective manufacturing in-process control
system shall be established, subject to the approval of the purchaser, and used during the production of parts.

4.3 Production Acceptance Tests

The purpose of production acceptance tests is to check, as simply as possible, using a method which is inexpensive and
representative of the part usage, with the uncertainty inherent in random sampling, that the parts comprising a production
inspection lot satisfy the requirements of this specification.

shall perform corrective action to screen out or rework the defective parts, and resubmit for acceptance tests inspection as
in Table 5.

5. PREPARATION FOR DELIVERY
