What is BS EN 3696 - Heat resisting steel washers for aerospace applications about?
BS EN 3696 is a European standard series that covers heat resisting steel washers for aerospace applications, enabling heat resistance and protection of surfaces from damage during installation.
BS EN 3696 specifies the characteristics of washers, in heat resisting steel, for aerospace applications.
Who is BS EN 3696 - Heat resisting steel washers for aerospace applications for?
BS EN 3696 on heat resisting steel washers for aerospace applications is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of steel washers
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
- Quality assurance services
- Product design engineers
- Aeronautical engineers
- Regulatory bodies
Why should you use BS EN 3696 - Heat resisting steel washers for aerospace applications?
Surfaces are stressed by fasteners without washers, resulting in cracks and deformities. Washers safeguard against such damage by equally dispersing the load and reducing the tension on the fastener. They also prevent the screw from loosening in case of vibrations.
BS EN 3696 provides you guidance on configuration, dimensions, mass, surface roughness, materials and surface treatment, enabling you to standardize the dimensional and physical properties of steel washers.
BS EN 3696 also provides you guidance on dimensions depending on the code, diameter and mass to ensure compatibility with existing systems and installations.
By adopting BS EN 3696, you can develop and assess heat resisting steel washers for aerospace applications, enabling protection against damage by distributing and lessening the stress from the fastener by evenly distributing the load.
