What is BS EN 4708-102 - Flexible polymer about ?
BS EN 4708-102 is a European Standard specifies the required characteristics for a heat-shrinkable, very flexible polymer sleeving for use in aircraft electrical systems at operating temperatures between ‒ 75 °C to 150 °C. This sleeving has very good flexibility, is flame retarded, and has a thick wall for mechanical protection. It is suitable for use as cable protection in areas where wiring is subject to contamination by aircraft fuels and hydraulic fluids.
These sleevings are normally supplied with internal diameters up to 102 mm for shrink ratios of 2:1. They are available in black only.
Sizes other than those specifically listed in BS EN 4708-102 may be available. These items shall be considered to comply with BS EN 4708-102 if they comply with the property requirements listed in Tables 2, 3, and 4 except for dimensions and mass.
Who is BS EN 4708-102 - Flexible polymer for ?
BS EN 4708-102 on the flexible polymer is useful for:
- Aerospace avionic electrical and fibre optic technology
- Aircraft electrical manufacturers
- Polymer manufacturers
- Manufacturers of threaded components
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Design engineers for polymers and sleeves
- Quality control personnel for polymers and sleeves
Why should you use BS EN 4708-102 - Flexible polymer ?
Flexible Polymer sleeves are used in protecting a large variety of tools and components like shafts, gears, pistons, precision bolts, threaded components, tubes, glass bottles, etc. These polymer sleeves are tough and flexible and offer superior performances.
As a manufacturer, guidelines given in BS EN 4708-102 helps you in the production of electrical systems.
Polymer sleeve is specially designed to give protection to components during manufacture, storage, transit, and shop floor handling.
By using BS EN 4708-102, you can manufacture the best quality polymer sleeves including all the qualities that make it best for use in aircraft.
