BS EN 6059-308:2014

What is BS EN 6059-308 - Protective sleeves after exposure to a rapid change of temperature about ?

BS EN 6059 is a European standard on aerospace series that discusses test methods for protective sleeves. BS EN 6059-308 provides a method for test sleeves when exposed to a rapid change of temperature to ensure safety.  

BS EN 6059-308 specifies a method of assessing the behaviour of conductive protection sleeves or conduits after exposure to a rapid change of temperature. 

Who is BS EN 6059-308 - Protective sleeves after exposure to a rapid change of temperature for ?

BS EN 6059-308 on protective sleeves after exposure to a rapid change of temperature is applicable for:  

• Aerospace avionic electrical and fibre optic technology 
• Aerospace and defence industries   
• Manufacturers of protection sleeves 
• Quality control personnel for protection sleeves 
• Testing agencies involved in the inspection of spacecraft and aerospace products 

Why should you use BS EN 6059-308 - Protective sleeves after exposure to a rapid change of temperature ?

Rapid change of temperature testing specifies a test sample temperature variation rate of 15°C/minute or less, which is the biggest difference between this method. 

Rapid change of temperature testing is a type of thermal cycling test developed to improve the failure repeatability of thermal shock tests. As a quality control personnel of protection sleeves, BS EN 6059-308 guides you in performing the test methods for rapid change of temperature and thereby checking the effectiveness. 

BS EN 6059-308 provides you with guidelines on procedures and requirements of testing the fire resistance of electrical cables. 

With compliance and obedience to BS EN 6059-308, you can demonstrate the reliability of your products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
