What is BS EN 2591-512 - Method of verifying the effectiveness of non-removable fixing about?
BS EN 2591 is a series on elements of electrical and optical connection. An optical fibre connector is a flexible device that connects fibre cables requiring a quick connection and disconnection.
BS EN 2591-512 specifies a method of verifying the effectiveness of non-removable fixing of the hermetically sealed connector shell to the equipment shell. It shall be used together with EN 2591-100 which is the Aerospace series – Elements of electrical and optical connection – Test methods – Part 100: General.
Who is BS EN 2591-512 - Method of verifying the effectiveness of non-removable fixing for?
BS EN 2591-512 on the method of verifying the effectiveness of non-removable fixing is useful for:
- Aerospace Industry
- Testing agencies involved in the inspection of electrical and optical connectors
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
- Manufacturers and suppliers of electrical and optical connectors
- Defence Industry
Why should you use BS EN 2591-512 - Method of verifying the effectiveness of non-removable fixing?
Aerospace is a term used to collectively refer to the atmosphere and outer space. Aerospace activity is very diverse, with a multitude of commercial, industrial, and military applications. Aerospace engineering consists of aeronautics and astronautics. Aerospace organizations research, design, manufacture, operate, or maintain aircraft and spacecraft. It is vital to assure that the connector shell is airtight and insulated to the equipment shell.
To do so, the manufacturer or tester needs to ensure that they follow the proper procedure to check the effectiveness of non-removable fixing of the sealed connector shell to the equipment shell. BS EN 2591-512 aids in determining the methods that have to be used to determine the effectiveness of a non-removable fixing. Using BS EN 2591-512 you can specify a method of verifying the effectiveness of non-removable fixing of the hermetically sealed connector shell to the equipment shell.
