BS EN 3475-403 specifies a method of measuring the delamination and blocking of a finished cable. It shall be used together with EN 3475-100.
BS EN 3475-403 has been prepared by the European Association of Aerospace Manufacturers (AECMA). BS EN 3475-403 covers the preparation of specimens, apparatus, requirements, and methods for delamination and blocking.
BS EN 3475-403 on test methods for delamination and blocking is useful for:
Aerospace electrical cables sustain intense vibration during take-off, flight, and landing, while also being subject to harsh environmental conditions. Cable faults cost money and create disruption, so there is an enormous demand for cable test techniques to ensure cables and joints are in good condition.
BS EN 3475-403 provides best practice guidelines on the test methods for delamination and blocking of electric cables in aircraft systems. BS EN 3475-403 is important because it enhances the quality and user satisfaction. By adopting BS EN 3475-403, the manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
The guidelines in BS EN 3475-403, ensure the efficiency of aircraft systems, thereby preventing damage and danger to aircraft cables during use.
