What is BS EN 2070-4 - Aluminium tubes for structures specification about?
Aluminium tubular products are popular in aerospace applications due to the alloys attractive performance characteristics.
BS EN 2070-4 specifies the particular requirements of tubes for structures in aluminium or aluminium alloys, obtained by extrusion or extrusion and drawing.
BS EN 2070-4 is used in conjunction with BS EN 2070-1.
Who is BS EN 2070-4 - Aluminium tubes for structures specification for?
BS EN 2070-4 on aluminium tubes for structures specification is useful for:
- The aerospace industry
- Manufacturers of aluminium tubes
- Product development / innovation teams
- Quality control / testing personnel
- Procurement teams
Why should you use BS EN 2070-4 - Aluminium tubes for structures specification?
Aluminium is highly corrosion-resistant and has low tensile strength, making it ideal for becoming an alloy with copper, zinc, manganese, silicon, and various other metals to increase its hardness and strength.
BS EN 2070-4 provides you with guidelines for the manufacture and testing of aluminium and aluminium alloy tubes in terms of dimensions, external defects, tensile strength, and batch uniformity.
The tests for these tubes provided in BS EN 2070-4 include tensile test, flattening test, and drift test. Details for marking have also been provided in BS EN 2070-4.
BS EN 2070-4 guidelines help you to follow best practices when manufacturing and supplying aluminium and aluminium alloy tubes for aerospace applications.
