What is BS EN 3987 - Test methods for metallic materials used in aerospace applications about?
BS EN 3987 is an international standard used for metallic materials that specifies the test method for these materials. This helps in manufacturing good quality metallic materials used in aerospace applications.
BS EN 3987 applies to constant amplitude force-controlled high cycle fatigue (HCF) testing of metallic materials governed by EN Aerospace standards. It defines the mechanical properties that may need to be determined, the equipment, test pieces, methodology of test and presentation of results. BS EN 3987 applies to uniaxially loaded tests carried out on plain or notched test pieces at ambient and elevated temperatures. It is not intended to cover the testing of more complex test pieces, full scale components or structures, although the methodology could well be adopted to provide for such tests.
