BS EN 2591 is a European standard on aerospace that discusses test methods for elements of the electrical and optical connection. BS EN 2591-315 provides the test method for fluid resistance in aerospace to ensure proper cable insulation.
BS EN 2591-315 specifies the method for determining the fluid resistance of a connector or cable accessory.
BS EN 2591-315:2015 shall be used together with EN 2591‑100 and EN 3909.
BS EN 2591-315 on test method for determining fluid resistance of a connector is useful for:
Fluid resistance is a general term describing the extent to which a rubber product retains its original physical characteristics and ability to function when it is exposed to oil, chemicals, water, organic fluids, or any liquid that it is likely to encounter in actual service. The wire/cable insulation mustn't be adversely affected by exposure to these fluids.
BS EN 2591-315 guides on the preparation of specimens, apparatus, methods, and test fluids to ensure all the specimens have minimum tensile strength.
BS EN 2591-315 assists you by ensuring superior fluid resistance of the connectors for the electrical cables.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 2591-315, you can enhance the efficacy of a connector and manufacture a standardized high-quality product to increase the reliability of your products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
