- Abstract
- This publication establishes the criteria for selection of materials for use in future manned space vehicles and in equipment involving personnel in ground test facilities with environments that support combustion. It establishes the flammability, odor, and offgassing limitations for testing candidate materials. Chapter 2 provides material selection criteria and evaluation requirements for the various material usage categories. It also relates the various test techniques to the applicable material usage categories. Detailed procedures to be utilized for screening candidate materials are provided in Chapter 4. The major elements of a Materials Control Program are presented in Chapter 3. It is intended that the NASA Center program office and Material specialists shall select the appropriate elements of this publication and establish a materials control program tailored to the needs of the specific programs.
