  • Literature

NADCAP is an acronym for the National Aerospace Defense Contractors Accreditation Program. It is "the leading worldwide cooperative program of major companies designed to manage a cost-effective consensus approach to special processes and products and provide continual improvement within the aerospace and automotive industries". NADCAP, as applied to mechanical testing, is not a standard but an audit checklist which must be passed in order for an aerospace supplier to be NADCAP compliant. There are two main audit checklists that apply to mechanical testing: AC7101 for metallic materials, and AC7122 for non-metallic materials. Each of these checklists are dozens of pages long, but the main item of concern for mechanical testing laboratories is alignment and allowable bending.

For metals, the maximum allowable bending for static tests is 10% (non-brittle materials, <5% elongation to failure) and 8% (brittle materials, >5% ETF). The maximum allowable bending for all dynamic tests is 5%. For composites, the maximum allowable bending is 8%.

Percent bending strain is calculated in accordance with ASTM E1012, and is defined as "the greatest difference in axial strain under load between the average strain (of 3 or 4 strain gauges in any circumferential set) and any individual gage in that set, divided by the average strain, times 100. Furthermore, in order to ensure that the bending is measured in a way that is meaningful to the actual tests, the strain gaged specimens must represent those that will be tested, and use the actual load train that will be used for tensile testing. It is not appropriate to remove the grips that will be used for actual testing. For all these reasons, achieving the desired bending requirements can be challenging. Only the most rigid and quality-made mechanical testing systems and grips can meet the bending requirements of NADCAP.

Performing a proper alignment verification to NADCAP involves the following measurement procedures:

  • Producing an alignment "cell" (strain-gauged specimen) that represents the specimen to be tested
  • Inserting the cell in the actual grips to be used for tensile testing
  • Applying a load (defined by NADCAP) and measuring the bending
  • Remove the cell and reinsert it in a reverse position (rotated 180 degrees around the longitudinal axis)
  • Apply the proof load and measure the bending
  • Remove the cell and reinsert it in the inverted position (rotated 180 degrees around the horizontal axis)
  • Apply the proof load and measure the bending
  • Finally, remove the cell and reinsert it, inverted, this time reversed as well.
  • In the end, none of the bending strains may exceed the allowable strain limits.

 

If any of the bending strains exceed the limits, it is necessary to adjust the load string and redo the process. This can be done "manually" by loosening/tapping/retightening the load string, shimming, or other mechanical "empirical" means. Alternatively, Instron offers an AlignPro kit which fits between the load cell and the crosshead of the machine, which allows one to adjust the angular and axial alignment of the system while under load. The strain gauge outputs are monitored live to provide real time precise adjustment of the grip string to achieve minimum bending. Fitting AlignPro kits to Electromechanical or Servohydraulic systems is highly recommended for any laboratory wishing to meet the demanding requirements of NADCAP.

 

The challenges of testing to this standard are:

  • System and load string stiffness and alignment
  • Verifying alignment of a system

 

Instron's Solution:

  • Instron has a number of testing frames, grips, and fixtures that are designed with NADCAP in mind, and combined with the AlignPro fixture, maintaining alignment on a system is as easy as ever.
  • Instron Service will perform an ASTM E1012 verification to ensure the system meets NADCAP requirements

 

It is important to review NADCAP and ASTM standards in order to fully understand the test setup, procedure, and results requirements.

Alignment Calibration

With increasing recognition that testing systems must be properly aligned for the best test results, Instron's alignment calibration service is now offered for most types of testing machines. A comprehensive characterization of the load frame alignment is provided per ASTM E 1012 using a strain gaged specimen. The brochure lists standards that require alignment and a sample calibration report.
