What is BS EN 3826 - Fluorosilicone rubber for aerospace application about?
The fluid resistance of fluorosilicone rubber (FSR) is what sets this material apart from traditional silicone rubber and many organic elastomers. Even prolonged immersion in harsh engine oils, transmission and power steering fluids, and all grades of gasoline and jet fuels causes only slight swelling and has little effect on properties.
Product and component quality is paramount for aerospace vessels. Delivery of high-quality components contributes to the safety of those on board.
BS EN 3826 specifies the properties of fluorosilicone rubber (FVMQ), hardness 70 IRHD, for aerospace applications.
Who is BS EN 3826 - Fluorosilicone rubber for aerospace application for?
BS EN 3826 on Fluorosilicone rubber for aerospace application is useful for:
- The aerospace and defence industry
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
- Vendors / Manufacturers and suppliers of fluorosilicone rubber for aerospace
- Purchase divisions/component sourcing personnel
- Product design engineers
- Aeronautical engineers
Why should you use BS EN 3826 - Fluorosilicone rubber for aerospace application?
FSR can withstand repeated flexing without stress cracking. This feature, combined with FSR’s relatively constant modulus over a wide temperature range, makes it an excellent material for many diaphragm applications. When designing the interiors or exterior of vessels such as airplanes, spaceships, submarines etc., structural decisions are based on function.
BS EN 3826 provides you with specific properties of fluorosilicone rubber (FVMQ), hardness 70 IRHD, for aerospace so that the bulbs are suitable for the required purpose.
The guidelines in BS EN 3826 contribute towards including high quality components for aerospace that are responsible for smooth and safe functioning of vessels.
