What is BS EN 4158 - Electrical surface resistance of conductive layers for aerospace applications about?
Measurement of electrical surface resistance of conductive layers for aerospace applications is extremely important. BS EN 4158 discusses the aerospace series for paints and varnishes.
BS EN 4158 describes a method of measurement of the electrical resistance of electrically conducting surface coatings on non-conductive parts and samples for aerospace applications.
If electrical contact areas are provided, the method is also applicable on electrical conducting layers over coated with non-conducting layers.
Who is BS EN 4158 - Electrical surface resistance of conductive layers for aerospace applications for?
BS EN 4158 on measurement of electrical surface resistance of conductive layers for aerospace applications is useful for:
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Manufacturers of aircraft/spacecraft
- Agencies involved in manufacturing and supplying components for aerospace
- Testing agencies involved in the inspection of aerospace products
- Manufacturers and suppliers of paints and varnishes
- Product development/innovation teams
- Quality control personnel
- Welders and Fabricators
- Procurement teams
- Paint Manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 4158 - Electrical surface resistance of conductive layers for aerospace applications?
It is crucial that the paint or the varnish is resistant to external factors, brings colour to the wood and highlights its pores, and brings an aesthetical look to the wood in terms of protecting the wood and prolonging its life.
BS EN 4158 walks you through the apparatus, test specimens, and procedure with guidance on calculations, results, designation of paints, and varnish.
BS EN 4158 aids in determining the infrared reflectance present in paints and varnishes. This would ensure that manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components, as well as testing agencies in the aerospace industry, provide quality products by following the testing guidelines that are provided in BS EN 4158.
