What is BS EN 4493 - Screw thread inserts about?
BS EN 4493 is a European standard on aerospace series which covers inserts, screw thread, helical coil, self-locking, in heat resisting nickel base alloy NI-PH1801.
BS EN 4493 specifies the characteristics of self-locking, helical coil, screw thread inserts in NI-PH1801 (NI-P96HT), silver plated, for aerospace applications.
Who is BS EN 4493 - Screw thread inserts for?
BS EN 4493 on screw thread inserts is useful for: 
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
- Screw thread inserts manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 4493 - Screw thread inserts?
A threaded insert is a sleeve with a threaded interior that can accept a bolt or threaded fastener. The insert can have different dimensions, be made of different materials, and come in different configurations or tooling; its design will hold fast in thin or soft materials, making the threaded fastener secure.
Nickel-based alloys are materials that are composed mainly of nickel and some other alloys. Ni-based alloys are known for their excellent corrosion resistance and strength. They are often found in high-temperature environments due to their superior resistance to heat.
When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability and consistent performance are crucial. Hence BS EN 4493 walks you through the characteristics of self-locking, helical coil, screw thread inserts in NI-PH1801 (NI-P96HT), silver plated. This ensures safety and reliability in your organization and in turn increases the efficiency of work.
