What is BS EN 3908 about?
BS EN 3908 is a European standard on lubricating nipples that discusses the criteria for the workability of nipples. BS EN 3908 specifies the required characteristics and the tests for lubricating nipples of the axial type, in corrosion resisting steel, passivated. Annex A (normative) states the clearance space requirements for the coupling and uncoupling of the lubricating gun and the maximum permissible diameter of the lubricating gun barrel, together with installation thread requirements.
Lubricating nipples according to this European Standard are intended for use in aerospace assemblies, where regular lubrication of moving parts is required.
Who is BS EN 3908 for?
BS EN 3908 on lubricating nipples is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of lubricating nipples
- Aerospace engineer
- Aerospace industry
Why should you use BS EN 3908?
A lubricating nipple is a metal fitting used in mechanical systems to feed lubricants, usually lubricating grease, under moderate to high pressure, into a bearing using a grease gun. The fitting is permanently installed by a threaded connection, leaving a nipple connection that the grease gun attaches to.
BS EN 3908 navigates you through the characteristics of lubricating nipples such as configuration, dimensions, masses, surface roughness, materials, and surface treatment.
As a user of BS EN 3908, you can be ensured of characteristics and the tests required to check the workability of the lubricating nipple. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 3908, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality lubricating nipples and enhance their functionality. With BS EN 3908 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets
