There’s a new AMS DTL 22499A, “Shim Stock, Laminated,” and it’s available now from Document Center Inc. in either paper or pdf format. This specification covers the requirements for surface bonded laminated shim stock. Revision A is a technical revision and replaces the original 1998 publication.
The standard is a good example of the long and winding road some documents go down! Originally, the specification was number MIL-S-22499, “Shim Stock, Laminated.” With Mil Spec Reform in the 1990’s it was renumbered MIL-DTL-22499 to reflect the fact that it is a detail specification — One that depends on a precise definition for compliance.
However, in 1998 SAE took over the care-taking responsibilities for the document, leading to yet another renumbering — This time to AMS DTL 22499. This means that the document is now a private industry Aerospace Material Specification, rather than a public Military Specification.
There are also “Slash Sheets” available for this item:
- AMS DTL 22499/1, Shim Stock, Laminated, Aluminum Alloy
- AMS DTL 22499/2, Shim Stock, Laminated, Brass
