1 INTRODUCTION
Circumstances are never static and therefore Data Sheet 124 will need
revising to meet the continual material, finish or procedural changes.
Definitions
The enclosed listings are not exhaustive, therefore any request to provide
additional equivalents / alternatives should be forwarded to Meggitt
Avionics design department with supporting documentation for
consideration and inclusion in this specification.
MOD[STAN] Definitions
2 MATERIALS
General
Where the issue status against standards are listed in the following tables
it will be indicated with an ‘*’.
Aluminium alloy BS L168 has been adopted as the preferred standard for
aluminium alloys as the materials specified within the standard is a very
high mechanical strength alloy and can be used for critical applications
and is the most widely used aluminium bar alloy in the aerospace
industry.
It has very good machinability and is thus used for the production of
complex machined parts.
Temper Types
When selecting an alternative material grade from Table 2-1 and Table
2-2 the alternative grade shall always be a higher specification i.e. T6 to
T6510, under no circumstances should a lower grade be used as an
alternative i.e. T6510 to T6.
Stainless Steels
General
The issue status for BS standards is shown by the year stamp that the
standard was made current i.e. BS EN10088-2:2005
When selecting an alternative material grade from Table 2-5 and Table
2-6 the alternative grade shall always be equal to or a higher, under no
circumstances should a lower grade be used as an alternative.
General
The British standards for Copper bar grades and Copper sheet / plate
grades have been superseded by European (EN) based standards.
The issue status for BS standards is shown by the year stamp that the
standard was made current i.e. EN13601:2002.

General
Titanium Alloys for the Aerospace series of British Standards are prefixed
BS TAxxx e.g. BS TA11.
Where the issue status against standards are listed in the following tables
it will be indicated with an ‘*’.

3 FINISHES / TREATMENTS
General
Legacy drawings and documents may specify both British Standards and
or American QQ Standards.
Where the issue status against standards has previously been listed on
drawings / documents, the following lists will indicate with an ‘*’.
Where the issue status against standards are listed in the following tables
it will be indicated with an ‘*’.
Anodising
The standards details listed are the direct alternatives with regards to
the finish type i.e. Chromic or Sulphuric.
o Class 1 – Non-Dyed
o Class 2 – Dyed (Colour to be specified)
Chromate Conversion
All current issue drawings and process documents which quote the
following standards and phrases for the treatment of aluminium and
aluminium alloys where a chromate passivation corrosion treatment is
specified, such as Alocrom/ Alocrom 1200 / Alochrom / Alochrome/
Alchromate/ Alodine/ Alodine 1200/lridite/DEFSTAN 03-18/SAE AMS03-
18/ MIL-DTL-5541/SI Ae 34 will now comply with the following
specification MIL-DTL-5541 Type II Class lA or Class 3. PS0851 covers
the chromate passivation treatment procedure for MIL-DTL-5541 Type II
Class lA and 3 for internally treated aluminium components.
MIL-DTL-5541 references:
o Type II – Compositions containing no Hexavalent chromium
o Class 1A – For maximum protection against corrosion, painted or
unpainted.
o Class 3 – For protection against corrosion where low electrical
resistance is required.
Stainless Steels
Steels (Non-Stainless)
Where current issue drawings specify various Zinc Plate and Passivation
standards and their relevant coating thicknesses such as DEF-STAN, Si
Ae, BS & BS EN etc. all previous standards quoted on drawings will be
superseded by BS EN ISO 2081 Fe//Zn’X’//c
Zn thickness value ‘X’ is defined on the current drawing this value will be
added to treatment request (TR) form which accompanies the parts.
Materials
F Black Black
Where drawings indicate the infill of engraving with a white paint the
following alternative method may be used:
Part Identification
Where drawings, specifications and idents are marked with a Cage Code
onto the component or packaging and this is of any other than the
Meggitt Avionics K0100 reference they are to be marked with Meggitt
Avionics Cage Code K0100 instead.

The following list indicates the former specs against the latest specs:
5 FIXING SYSTEMS
Various terminologies are used to describe the Wire Insert and are
usually describe as a Heli-Coil which is a trade name reference.
Where ever possible a tangless wire insert should be fitted and under no
circumstances should a tanged wire insert be fitted when replacing a
tangless insert.
General
Meggitt Avionics, have over the years, acquired various companies and
absorbed their designs.
This has left Meggitt Avionics with a variety of designs with differing
design and manufacturing standards.
