BMS 13-55 Firezone Wire


BMS 13-55

BMS 13-55 is the Boeing specification for Firezone wire. These wires are designed for critical circuit applications where wires must operate in extremely harsh environments, under vibration, and with direct flame exposure.


Key Features

  • Firezone wires for aircraft engine applications are designed to operate continuously at 260°C
  • Firezone applications are designed to operate for a minimum of 15 minutes at up to 2000°F (1093°C), including in a direct flame
  • Firezone qualification must pass BSS 7324 and M25038 Shake and Bake Test

MS1355-drawing

Shake and Bake Test Description

  • Wire must withstand a flame temperature of 2,000° ± 50°F for 15 minutes
  • After the flame has been stabilized, the wire is vibrated 30 times per second, with the rack having a maximum total excursion (overall movement) of approximately .06 inches (1.52mm)
  • After 15 minutes, the lowest insulation resistance is measured
  • No insulation can flake or fall off during the flame exposure
