What is BS EN 4311- Studs for aerospace applications about?
BS EN 4311 is a European Standard series that discusses components used in the aerospace industry. The purpose of BS EN 4311 is to provide the best industry design requirements to ensure high torque values and reduce the chance of the main cap walking.
BS EN 4311 specifies the characteristics of studs, coarse tolerance reduced shank, medium length threads, in heat and corrosion resisting steel, MoS2 lubricated.
BS EN 4311 specifies the classification of studs with a minimum tensile strength of 1100 MPa and a maximum operating temperature of 315 °C. The shank is reduced for better tension fatigue strength life.
Who is BS EN 4311 - Studs for aerospace applications for?
BS EN 4311 on studs for aerospace applications is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of studs for aerospace industry
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
- The aerospace and defence industry
- Product design engineers
- Aeronautical engineers
- National authorities
Why should you use BS EN 4311 - Studs for aerospace applications?
Aerospace studs are a cross between a bolt and a screw, a hybrid. A stud has one end that serves as a bolt and the other as a screw. When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability, consistent performance, and durability are essential.
BS EN 4311 provides you guidance on required characteristics including, configuration, dimensions, masses, tolerances of form and position, materials, and surface treatment, enabling you to standardize the dimensional and physical properties of studs for aerospace applications.
If you are a manufacturer of studs used in the aerospace industry, compliance with these requirements can ensure your products meet the performance needs of the end-application.
BS EN 4311 creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of studs to adhere to if they supply their components for use by the aerospace and defence industry.
With compliance to the best industry requirements specified in BS EN 4311 you can ensure corrosion resistance, stable operability and improved tension fatigue strength in studs for aerospace applications.
