This specification covers the requirements for nonmagnetic, corrosionresistant steel wire rope used in aircraft flight controls. The wire rope will be capable of operation within a -65 °F to +250 °F (-54 °C to +121 °C) temperature range in wind, dust, fuel and oil spills, in aircraft wash-down and other environmental stresses and aircraft experiences.Intended Use: The wire rope covered by this specification is intended for use in aircraft control systems applications where low magnetic permeability is needed. Wire rope conforming to composition B of MIL-DTL-83420 has higher strength and magnetic permeability than wire rope conforming to this specification.
