What is BS 2C 11 - Specification for ground pressure test connections about?
BS 2C 11 is a standard that discusses components for use in aerospace applications.
BS 2C 11 specifies the basic dimensional and access clearance requirements for pressure testing connections on pressurized aircraft for coupling with the hose unit or adaptor of ground pressurizing equipment. Three sized of connection are specified as follows:
Connection bore Recommended cabin volume
22,22 mm1(0.875 in) Not exceeding 10m3
46,04 mm (1.8125 in) 10 to 45 m3 (300 to 1500 ft 3)
72,39 mm (2.85 in) 45 to 170 m3 (1500 to 6000 ft 3)
Who is BS 2C 11 - Specification for ground pressure test connections for?
BS 2C 11 on specification for ground pressure test connections is useful for:
- Manufacturers of pressure testing equipment
- Manufacturers of ground service and maintenance equipment
- Manufacturers of aerospace electric equipment and systems
- Product design engineers
- Aeronautical engineers
