What is BS EN 3005 - Self-locking nuts about?
BS EN 3005 is a European standard on aerospace series which covers nuts, self-locking, MJ threads, in heat resisting nickel base alloy NI-PH1302 (Waspaloy), silver plated or uncoated.
BS EN 3005 specifies the characteristics, qualification and acceptance requirements for self-locking nuts with MJ threads in NI-PH1302, silver plated or uncoated for aerospace applications.
Who is BS EN 3005 - Self-locking nuts for?
BS EN 3005 on self-locking nuts is useful for: 
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
- Self-locking nuts manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 3005 - Self-locking nuts?
A Locknut (self-locking nut, locking nut), is a nut which resists loosening through vibration and normal use. This trait makes them essential hardware for a multitutde of applications. Unlike free spinning nuts, lock nuts make use of a deforming elastic or metal material to stay in position against torque and shock.
Nickel-based alloys are materials that are composed mainly of nickel and some other alloys. Ni-based alloys are known for their excellent corrosion resistance and strength. They are often found in high-temperature environments due to their superior resistance to heat.
When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability and consistent performance are crucial. Hence BS EN 3005 walks you through the characteristics of lockbolts with 100° countersunk normal head, sheartype, close tolerance, in titanium alloy TI-P64001. This ensures safety and reliability in your organization and in turn increases the efficiency of work.
