What is BS EN 4560 - Pipe coupling in aerospace about?
BS EN 4560 specifies the required characteristics, inspection and test methods, quality assurance, and procurement requirements for inch series, pipe coupling, 37°, spherical, for temperature ranges from type II to type V according to ISO 6771 and nominal pressure up to 21000 kPa.
In addition to the requirements of BS EN 4560, the coupling assemblies shall be qualified in accordance with equipment or component specification requirements. BS EN 4560 has been prepared by the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe - Standardization (ASD-STAN).
Who is BS EN 4560 - Pipe coupling in aerospace for?
BS EN 4560 on pipe coupling in aerospace is useful for:
- Spacecraft and space products manufacturers
- Aerospace products manufacturers
- Testing agencies involved in the inspection of spacecraft and aerospace products
- Quality control personnel for spacecraft products
- Aeronautical engineers
- Space researchers
Why should you use BS EN 4560 - Pipe coupling in aerospace?
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 4560 gives you guidelines on configuration, material, heat and surface treatment, surface texture, sealing areas, installation, working pressure of pipe coupling.
As a manufacturer, you can use BS EN 4560 guidance in the production of pipe coupling, etc. By using BS EN 4560, you can manufacture the best quality pipe coupling including all the qualities that make it best for use in aircraft.
