What is BS EN 3904 - Wire locking washers about?
BS EN 3904 is a European standard on aerospace series which covers wire locking washers in aluminium alloy, anodized.
BS EN 3904 specifies the characteristics of wire locking washers in aluminium alloy, anodized for maximum operating temperature 120 °C for aerospace applications.
Who is BS EN 3904 - Wire locking washers for?
BS EN 3904 on wire locking washers is useful for:
- Aerospace parts manufacturers
- Laminated washer manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 3904 - Wire locking washers?
wire locking washers are washers that are used to secure fasteners by transferring the force of the safety wire to the head of the fastener to be secured. They are installed just like any other washer, after which the sides of the tab are bent up to make contact with the sides of the head of the fastener.
An Aluminium alloy is an alloy in which aluminium (Al) is the predominant metal. The typical alloying elements are copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon, tin and zinc. There are two principal classifications, namely casting alloys and wrought alloys, both of which are further subdivided into the categories heat-treatable and non-heat-treatable.
With the help of BS EN 3904 which specifies the characteristics of wire locking washers in aluminium alloy, anodized for maximum operating temperature 120 °C, you can benefit from the use of the information in various aerospace applications. This can help you increase safety in operations.
