Braiding standards

Aeronautical cords & braids

Aeronautical cords & braids: braiding standards and equivalents

The cords and braids used in aeronautics must offer tensile strength, flexibility and dimensional stability while withstanding harsh environments,
flexibility and dimensional stability, while withstanding severe environments
(temperature, vibration, aeronautical fluids). Sealicone provides braiding solutions that comply with
AIR, MIL, CAP and FCP standards, with full traceability
and quality records for OEMs and MROs alike.

Main standard families covered

  • AIR 9204 / AIR 9205: Rxxxx cords and braids (e.g. AIR9204R707, AIR9204R6306, AIR9205R6107/6109...).
    Diameter, construction and performance specifications adapted to aeronautical applications.
  • CAP D: cord references (e.g. CAP D R707, R708, R726...) used by several principals
    to ensure fleet compatibility and continuity of supply.
  • FCP: industrial ranges (e.g. FCP 0178, 0218, 0503, 0754...) allowing rapid equivalence according to the need for
    mechanical strength and flexibility.
  • MIL :
    • MIL-C (e.g. MIL-C-1145, MIL-C-3395, MIL-C-5040, MIL-C-43307, MIL-C-87129) :
      cord/braid specifications (structure, thread count, strength, elongation).
    • MIL-R (e.g. MIL-R-1670, MIL-R-1688, MIL-R-17343, MIL-R-24049/24050, MIL-R-24536/24537/24677, MIL-R-77123) :
      tape/cord requirements for restraint, parachuting and lashing.
    • MIL-T / MIL-DTL / MIL-H / MIL-L (e.g. MIL-T-713, MIL-T-43435, MIL-DTL-24050, MIL-DTL-24677, MIL-H-226, MIL-L-1709) :
      additional families covering construction, diameters and treatments.
  • NSN: many part numbers feature an NSN for immediate
    identification (e.g. 8305-00-262-3316, 8305-00-276-7575).

Materials, construction and performance

Our braids and cords are available in polyamide, polyester or aramid,
with solid or sheathed braided constructions, depending on the application.
Determining criteria: breaking load, elongation, bending radius,
abrasion resistance and resistance to fluids (skydrol, fuels, oils).

Typical applications

  • Tying and holding bundles and tubes
  • Light lashing, parachuting, securing equipment
  • In-cab edge protection, tracking and safety

Why Sealicone?

  • Strict compliance with original drawings and standards (diameter, construction, finish).
  • Traceability & certificates supplied on request (CoC, test reports).
  • Extensive AIR / MIL / CAP / FCP coverage and NSN equivalents for MRO.
  • Technical support for material selection, mass optimization and fleet standardization.
