Aerospace components need to meet the highest quality standards to endure the extreme conditions that they are subjected to, including temperature extremes. BS EN 4057 series discusses cable ties for aerospace applications. Cable ties are designed to secure wire bundles and harness components quickly without slipping.
BS EN 4057-302 talks about the test methods to find out cable ties ability to support combustion so that the cable ties can be harness for applications in the aerospace industry.
BS EN 4057-302 lays out a procedure to determine the burning characteristics of cable ties for harnesses for aerospace applications. BS EN 4057-302 shall be used together with BS EN 4057-100.
BS EN 4057-302 on flammability characteristics of cable ties is useful for:
Military and general civil aircraft undergoes extreme air pressure in higher altitudes. To ensure the smooth working and functioning of an aircraft, it is vital to ensure that its components are efficient and safe to use.
BS EN 4057-302 gives details on the testing requirement, apparatus, and test procedure for cable ties. Diagrams illustrate the test specimen, clamp, and burner.
Towards the maintenance of cable ties, BS EN 4057-302 provides guidelines that aids to keep cables organized and helps to prevent damage of cables. Referring to BS EN 4057-302 can prevent hazards and ensure optimum reliability and best industrial practices of cable ties.EN 4057-302:2006
