SAE Standards. Society of Automotive Engineers standards cover specifications for highway and off-road vehicles Some SAE specifications may be used in chemical plant and refinery applications, e.g., bearing materials. SAE also administers the Aerospace Materials Specifications (AMS), which include procurement requirements for extreme quality aerospace materials. AMS products may be applicable for land based, highly stressed critical components such as reciprocating compressor shafts.
