What is BS EN 541— Aluminium rolled products about?
BS EN 541 is an international standard that covers the aspects of rolled products made of aluminium and its alloys.
BS EN 541 specifies the technical conditions for inspection and delivery, mechanical properties, dimensional tolerances and other requirements for rolled products made from wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloys with thicknesses from 0.150 mm to 0.500 mm for manufacturing rigid cans, closures, lids and tabs.
BS EN 541 covers technical specifications such as related terms, technical conditions for inspection and delivery, mechanical properties, tolerances on dimensions and form surface finish, inspection documents, labelling, packaging, and arbitrations for aluminium rolled products.
Who is BS EN 541— Aluminium rolled products for?
BS EN 541 on aluminium rolled products is relevant to:
- Manufacturers of cans, closures, lids
- Designers of aluminium rolled products
- Metal fabrication Industries
- Metal engineers
- Industries where aluminium rolled products are used
- Testing labs for aluminium and its alloys
- Regulatory authorities
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 541— Aluminium rolled products?
Many industries use rolled products such as cans, closures and lids made from wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloys. It is essential that some standard references should be followed to confirm the good quality of flat-rolled sheets of uniform thickness to get good quality products.
BS EN 541 provides you with all the technical specifications required to carry out the test procedures which helps the users to verify the mechanical properties, tolerances, surface finish, etc. for aluminium rolled products. It also covers the technical conditions that should be considered while inspecting and delivering the products as well as covers guidelines for labelling, packaging and arbitration according to the global standards.
Thus, BS EN 541 provides you with elaborated information useful to ensure the high quality and reliability of rolled products made from aluminium and aluminium alloys with minimum or no manufacturing defects.
