What is BS EN 16602-70-03 - Black-anodizing of metals with inorganic dyes about?
BS EN 16602-70-03 defines requirements for measurements and verifications to guarantee that an anodized coating is adequate for the intended application. The requirements set by BS EN 16602-70-03 ensure high reliability of surface treatments intended to withstand normal terrestrial conditions and environment loads imposed on spacecraft and associated equipment where surfaces require high solar absorptance and high emittance, high optical blackness, or a combination of these properties.
Who is BS EN 16602-70-03 - Black-anodizing of metals with inorganic dyes for?
BS EN 16602-70-03 on black-anodizing of metals with inorganic dyes is relevant to:
- Space project managers
- System engineers for spacecraft projects
- Spacecraft product manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 16602-70-03 - Black-anodizing of metals with inorganic dyes?
Passive thermal control systems onboard spacecraft are often based on the thermo-optical properties of the surfaces, namely emissivity and absorbance. The ratio of these two properties defines the equilibrium temperature of the surface. BS EN 16602-70-03 provides you with the requirements for black-anodizing surface treatment applied on metallic surfaces to achieve an emissivity versus absorbance ratio close to unity, as requested for many applications.
BS EN 16602-70-03 guides you regarding anodizing, handling and storage of materials and parts for black-anodizing surface treatment.
BS EN 16602-70-03 also assists in visual inspection of the treatment by providing acceptance tests and guidance regarding its welding and repairing.
BS EN 16602-70-03 also assist in assuring the quality of the black-anodizing process by providing specific requirements for quality assurance.
