Why should you use BS EN 4552- Aerospace series: Inch series pipe couplings?
Pipe coupling adapters are used to connect two or more sections of pipe for maintaining continuity. Flexible couplings allow for efficient and speedy piping repair. Pipe couplers slip over the outside of two pipes to connect them, usually permanently. A coupling can be a reducer or reducing coupling, meaning they reduce flow by joining a larger pipe to a smaller size.
BS EN 4552 gives users guidelines on configuration, material, heat and surface treatment, surface texture, sealing areas, installation, working pressure of pipe coupling, facilitating production, usability and operability in aerospace applications.
With the adoption of BS EN 4552, users can develop and assess swivel nuts for inch series pipe couplings, ensuring mechanical strength, performance and longevity in aerospace applications.
