What is BS EN 4113 - Clamps about?
BS EN 4113 is a European standard on aerospace series which covers clamps, loop ("P" type) in corrosion resisting steel, passivated, with rubber cushioning.
BS EN 4113 specifies the required characteristics of loop style clamps (“P” type) in corrosion resisting steel, passivated with various cushion materials.
These clamps are used for supporting aerospace pipe assemblies and electrical cable bundles.
For temperature range and environmental considerations see the various cushion material standards.
Who is BS EN 4113 - Clamps for?
BS EN 4113 on clamps is useful for:
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
- Loop clamp manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 4113 - Clamps?
P-clamps lock cables and hoses in place and help ensure that machinery, vehicles and equipment keep running. They bracket wires, cables or hoses together mechanically and are fastened securely to an anchor point – usually with a screw or a bolt.
Steel has a certain resistance against corrosion. This so-called passivity is due to a thin and invisible layer of oxides being formed on the surface. This process takes place through a reaction between the metal and the oxygen in the surrounding environment.
When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability and consistent performance are crucial. Hence BS EN 4113 walks you through the characteristics of loop style clamps (“P” type) in corrosion resisting steel, passivated with various cushion materials. This ensures safety and reliability in your organization and in turn increases the efficiency of work.
