BS EN 4118 is a European Standard that discusses components and fasteners used in aerospace applications.
BS EN 4118 specifies the characteristics of self-locking bihexagonal nuts in FE-PA2601, silver plated on thread, for aerospace applications.
The Classification is 100 MPa/ 650 °C.
BS EN 4118 on FE-PA2601-based self-locking bihexagonal nuts is useful for:
When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability, consistent performance and durability are crucial.
BS EN 4118 provides best industry guidance on the appropriate dimensions, tolerance and mass while recommending reference standards for materials and surface treatments to be considered for FE-PA2601-based self-locking nuts for aerospace applications used in the aerospace industry. With the right materials and surface treatments, you can ensure that the nuts do not in any way impair the performance or efficiency of the end-application.
If you are a manufacturer of self-locking bihexagonal nuts used in the aerospace industry, compliance with these requirements can ensure your products meet the performance needs of the end-application.
BS EN 4118 creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of bihexagonal self-locking nuts to adhere to if they supply their components for use by the aerospace and defence industry.
With compliance to BS EN 4118 you can demonstrate the reliability of FE-PA2601-based self-locking nuts and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
