BS EN 3842:2001

What is BS EN 3842 – circular steel tubes for aerospace – dimensions about?

Aerospace components need to meet stringent quality standards due to the extreme conditions that they are exposed to.

BS EN 3842 is part of the series on metallic material standards for aerospace applications. The general organization of this series is described in EN 4258.

BS EN 3842 specifies the dimensions and tolerances of tubes for fluids in corrosion resistant steel, diameter 3,2 mm ≤ D ≤ 100 mm, thickness 0,32 mm ≤ a ≤ 2,5 mm for aerospace applications.
