9/27/01 pitch distribution—is the gradual twist in the pro­ peller blade from shank to tip. pitted—small irregular shaped cavities in the sur­ face of the parent material usually caused by cor­ rosion, chipping, or heavy electrical discharge. pitting—the formation of pockets of corrosion products on the surface of a metal. plastican organic substance of large molecular weight which is solid in its finished state and, at some stage during its manufacture or its processing into a finished article, can be shaped by flow. polyester braida plastic braiding thread, when used as the outer surface of a wire, provides a cloth- like appearance. polyimide tapea plastic film (commonly referred to by the trade name, KAPTON). The tape has a dark brown color, and is frequently coated with a polyimide varnish that has a very distinct mustard yellow color. At times, the spiral edge of the outer­ most tape is apparent under the varnish topcoat. It may be used for wire insulation. Total polyimide tape insulated wire constructions are inactive for new de­ sign on military aircraft and are subject to the proce­ dures defined in FAA Advisory Circular AC 29-2A Change 2 Paragraph 29.1359 in Civil Aircraft. polyimide varnisha liquid form of polyimide that is applied to the outer surface of a wire through the process of repeated dipping through the varnish bath with subsequent heat curing. The successive layers rarely reach a total buildup of 1 mil. polymerization—basic processes for making large (high-polymer) molecules from small ones, nor­ mally without chemical change; can be by addition, condensation, rearrangement, or other methods. porosity—cavity-type discontinuities in metal formed by gas entrapment during solidification. prepreg—a mat, a fabric, or covering impregnated with resin that is ready for lay up and curing. propeller—is a rotating airfoil that consists of two or more blades attached to a central hub which is mounted on the engine crankshaft. protractor—is a device for measuring angles. PTFE Tape (Insulation)polytetrafluoroethylene tape (commonly known by the trade name, TEF- LON), wrapped around a conductor and then cen- AC 43.13-1B CHG 1 Appendix 1 tered with heat, fusing the layers into a virtually ho­ mogeneous mass. It is used both as a primary insu­ lation against the conductor, and as an outer layer or jacket over a shield. Maximum temperature rating is 260 °C. PVF2 Polyvinylidine Fluoridea fluorocarbon plastic, that when used in aircraft wire, is invariably radiation cross-linked and employed as the outer layer. radar (radio detecting and ranging)radio equipment that utilizes reflected pulse signals to lo­ cate and determine the distance to any reflecting object within its range. radomea nonmetallic cover used to protect the antenna assembly of a radar system. rectifier—a device for converting alternating cur­ rent to direct current. reinforcing tape—a narrow woven cotton or poly­ ester tape used over aircraft fabric to reinforce it at the stitching attachments. relayan electrically-operated remote-control switch. resin—vast profusion of natural and increasingly, synthetic materials used as adhesives, fillers, bind­ ers and for insulation. resistancethe opposition a device or material of­  fers to the flow or current. resonance method (ringing) of ultrasonic in- spection—a method of detecting material thick­ ness or indications of internal damage by injecting variable frequency ultrasonic energy into a mate­ rial. A specific frequency of energy will produce the clearest indication of damage in a given thickness of material. When the equipment is calibrated for a specific thickness, and this thickness changes, an aural or visual alert is given. resonant frequency—the frequency of a source of vibration that is exactly the same as the natural vibration frequency of the structure. resonate—a mechanical system is said to reso­ nate when its natural vibration frequency is exactly the same as the frequency of the force applied. When an object resonates at a particular fre­ quency, the amplitude in its vibration will increase immensely as that frequency is reached and will be less on either side of that frequency. 7
