What is BS EN 3783 - Mechanical properties of fibre composite materials in aerospace about?
Product and component quality is paramount for aerospace vessels. The delivery of high-quality components contributes to the safety of those on board.
Fibre composite materials are extremely strong and light fibre-reinforced plastics that contain carbon, glass, and aramid reinforced laminates. Fibre composite materials can be expensive to produce but are commonly used wherever high strength-to-weight ratio and stiffness (rigidity) are required, such as aerospace, superstructures of ships, automotive, civil engineering, sports equipment, and an increasing number of consumer and technical applications.
BS EN 3783 specifies the procedure for normalisation of fibre dominated mechanical properties. The procedure is valid for carbon, glass and aramid reinforced laminates, for aerospace applications.

Why should you use BS EN 3783 - Mechanical properties of fibre composite materials in aerospace?
The demand for fibre composite materials in the aerospace industry is greater than ever. As a customer, you can benefit from the wide range of materials and expertise across all processing stages from fibres to the final lightweight structure. By using fibre composite materials in both primary and secondary structures, it is possible to save weight and at the same time achieve mechanical peak values in terms of strength and stiffness of the components.
BS EN 3783 provides you with procedure for normalisation of fibre dominated mechanical properties for aerospace so that the products are suitable for the required purpose.
The guidelines in BS EN 3783 contribute towards including high-quality components for aerospace that are responsible for smooth and safe functioning of vessels.
