What is BS EN 6037 - Fibre reinforced plastics for aerospace applications about ?
Product and component quality is paramount for aerospace vessels. The delivery of high-quality components contributes to the safety of those on board. Fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres. The fibres are usually glass (in fibreglass), carbon (in carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer), aramid, or basalt. They are commonly used wherever high strength-to-weight ratio and stiffness (rigidity) are required, such as aerospace, superstructures of ships, automotive, civil engineering, sports equipment, and an increasing number of consumer and technical applications.
BS EN 6037 defines the procedure to be used to determine the bearing strength of fibre composites with multidirectional reinforcement. BS EN 6037 is applicable to composite laminates manufactured from unidirectional tape or woven fabric reinforcement. BS EN 6037 does not give any directions necessary to meet health and safety requirements. It is the responsibility of the user of BS EN 6037 to consult and establish appropriate health and safety precautions.

Why should you use BS EN 6037 - Fibre reinforced plastics for aerospace applications ?
The demand for fibre-reinforced plastics (FRP) in the aerospace industry is greater than ever. As a customer, you can benefit from our wide range of materials and expertise across all processing stages from fibres to the final lightweight structure. By using FRP in both primary and secondary structures, it is possible to save weight and at the same time achieve mechanical peak values in terms of strength and stiffness of the components.
BS EN 6037 provides you with procedure to determine the bearing strength of fibre composites with multidirectional reinforcement for aerospace so that the products are suitable for the required purpose.
The guidelines in BS EN 6037 contribute towards including high-quality components for aerospace that are responsible for smooth and safe functioning of vessels.
