What is BS EN 2004-7-Aerospace series: Electrical conductivity of wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys about?
BS EN 2004-7 is a European standard that serves technical specifications for Aerospace series: Electrical conductivity of wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys, enabling the determination of electrical conductivity of wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys in aerospace applications.
BS EN 2004-7 defines different types of electrical conductivity reference blocks to be used for the calibration of eddy current conductivity measuring equipment, their method of production and calibration. BS EN 2004-7 should be used in conjunction with EN 2004-1.
Who is BS EN 2004-7-Aerospace series: Electrical conductivity of wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys for?
BS EN 2004-7 on Aerospace series: Electrical conductivity of wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys applies to:
- Manufacturers of aluminium and aluminium alloy products
- Dealers and importers of aluminium and aluminium alloy products
- Testing houses and labs for aluminium and aluminium alloy products
- Safety assurance services
- Inspection and non-destructive testing services
Why should you use BS EN 2004-7-Aerospace series: Electrical conductivity of wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys?
Aluminium is a lightweight and robust material that is perfect for aircraft construction. Aluminium is lighter than steel, allowing an aircraft to carry more cargo or save fuel. Aluminium and alloys have strong corrosion resistance that ensures the aircraft and passenger’s safety.
BS EN 2004-7 provides users guidance on production and calibration of master reference standards, a set of electrical conductivity reference standards held by a National Standards Laboratory or an Accredited Laboratory and traceable to electrical reference standards.
BS EN 2004-7 provides users guidance on production and calibration of secondary reference blocks, a set of electrical conductivity reference blocks calibrated by a National Standards Laboratory against its master reference standards using eddy current conductivity measuring equipment. Individual companies may hold sets of secondary reference blocks.
With obedience and compliance of BS EN 2004-7, users can assess surface defects in aluminium and aluminium alloy products, enabling the determination of electrical conductivity measurement of wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys according to reference blocks for calibration of measuring equipment.
