What is BS EN 3475-515 - Method for determining the crush resistance of cables about?
BS EN 3475 is a European Standard that discusses electrical aircraft use cables.
BS EN 3475-515 specifies a method to determine the ability of an electrical cable to withstand crushing under specified environmental conditions (i.e., during maintenance operations).It shall be used together with EN 3475-100.
Who is BS EN 3475-515 - Method for determining the crush resistance of cables for?
BS EN 3475-515 on the method for determining the crush resistance of cables is applicable for:
- Manufacturers of aerospace electrical cables
- Quality control personnel for aircrafts
- Aircraft manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Aerospace and defence industries
Why should you use BS EN 3475-515 - Method for determining the crush resistance of cables?
The crush resistance test method measures the capability of wire insulation to withstand an applied load, simulating the damage that may occur when an insulated wire is crushed between two flat surfaces. This type of test can be applied to a variety of products including corrugated cardboard, glass, bearings, bricks, concrete, or any sample where crush resistance is important.
BS EN 3475-515 provides you with the test conditions and guides you on the preparation of specimens for determining the crush resistance of cables to prevent damage.
BS EN 3475-515 also provides you with the test procedure, initial measurements, final measurements and requirements of the test method for determining the crush resistance of a cable.
BS EN 3475-515 covers all the quality control requirements for electrical cables. BS EN 3475-515 creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of electrical cables that they need to adhere to if they supply their electrical cables to the aerospace and defence industries.
By adopting BS EN 3475-515, you can demonstrate the reliability of your electrical cables and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
