What is BS EN 2809 - Slotted or castellated hexagonal nuts for aerospace applications about?
BS EN 2809 is a European Standard series that covers slotted or castellated hexagonal nuts for aerospace applications to ensure stable operability, improved strength and performance in aerospace applications.
BS EN 2809 specifies the characteristics of hexagonal slotted / castellated nuts, reduced height, normal across flats, in heat resisting steel, silver plated.
BS EN 2809 specifies the classification for hexagon nuts that have a minimum tensile strength of 900 MPa and maximum operating temperature of 650 °C.
Who is BS EN 2809 - Slotted or castellated hexagonal nuts for aerospace applications for?
BS EN 2809 on slotted or castellated hexagonal nuts for aerospace applications is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of hexagonal nuts
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
- Quality assurance services
- Product design engineers
- Aeronautical engineers
- Regulatory bodies
Why should you use BS EN 2809 - Slotted or castellated hexagonal nuts for aerospace applications?
Slotted nuts are utilised in applications where the assembly may be unfastened due to vibration or torque. Castellated nuts are a type of positive locking system that keeps the nut in place and resists vibration.
BS EN 2809 provides you guidance on required characteristics, including, configuration, dimensions, masses, tolerances of form and position, materials and surface treatment, enabling you to standardize the dimensional and physical properties of hexagonal nuts.
BS EN 2809 also provides you guidance on dimensions depending on diameter code, thread, mass, and split pin diameter, enabling you to deliver hexagonal nuts that are compatible with aerospace systems and installations.
By adopting BS EN 2809, you can develop and assess slotted or castellated hexagonal nuts to ensure structural integrity, improved strength and resistance to vibration in aerospace applications.
