What is BS EN 2899-Susceptibility of metals to corrosion in contact with vulcanized rubbers about?
BS EN 2899 is a standard that serves technical specifications on the susceptibility of metals to corrosion in contact with vulcanized rubbers that enables detection and prevention of corrosion in metal parts in aerospace applications.
BS EN 2899 defines tests on the susceptibility to corrosion in a damp atmosphere of metals in contact with vulcanized rubbers.
Who is BS EN 2899-Susceptibility of metals to corrosion in contact with vulcanized rubbers for?
BS EN 2899 on the susceptibility of metals to corrosion in contact with vulcanized rubbers applies to:
- Manufacturers of vulcanized rubbers for aerospace applications
- Dealers and importers of vulcanized rubbers for aerospace applications
- Testing houses and labs in the aerospace industry
- Safety and quality assurance services
Why should you use BS EN 2899-Susceptibility of metals to corrosion in contact with vulcanized rubbers?
Vulcanized rubber is a rubber that is hardened through heat and sulfur. It is made by a curing process in which the rubber's elastomers harden in response to heat and sulfur. The resulting rubber has good tensile strength, viscosity, hardness and extensibility. In aerospace applications, vulcanized rubber often comes in contact with metals and corrode them.
BS EN 2899 provides you guidance on principle, apparatus, auxiliary products, specimens, test conditions, procedure, interpretation of results, designation and test report, enabling you to do the method correctly to get accurate results.
BS EN 2899 provides you guidance on test conditions such as test temperature, testing time and humidity, allowing you to replicate a real-time damp environment to determine the affinity of metals in contact with vulcanized rubber to corrosion.
Guidance in BS EN 2899 enables you to assess corrosion susceptibility of metals in damp conditions that are in contact with vulcanized rubber and allows you to prevent corrosion in metals such as aluminium alloys and steel, which are usually in contact with vulcanized rubbers.
