What is BS EN 2591-513 - Method of verifying magnetic permeability 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 2591-513 specifies a method of verifying that the relative magnetic permeability of a test item is below a specified value.
The method is suitable for low permeability values: i.e., the relative magnetic permeability of 2,5 or less. BS EN 2591-513 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 2591-513 - Method of verifying magnetic permeability for?
BS EN 2591-512 on the Method of verifying magnetic permeability is useful for:
- Government organization
- Aerospace and Defence agencies
- 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
Why should you use BS EN 2591-513 - Method of verifying magnetic permeability?
A test on magnetic permeability endeavours to measure a material's resistance to forming a magnetic field, or the degree of induced magnetism a material experiences under a magnetic field. The greater the magnetic permeability of the material, the greater the conductivity for magnetic lines of force. The lesser the magnetic permeability of the material, the lesser the conductivity for magnetic lines of force.
The magnetic permeability of a material indicates the ease with which an external magnetic field can create a higher magnetic force of attraction in the material.  BS EN 2591-513 can help to find out if the relative magnetic permeability of a test item is below a specified value. The testing method in BS EN 2591-513 can serve as a guide to testing agencies, organizations, and manufacturers of products. Using BS EN 2591-513 you can specify a method of verifying that the relative magnetic permeability of a test item is below a specified value.
