BS EN 4183:2001

What is BS EN 4183 – Aerospace elbows welded ends for pipe couplings about?

BS EN 4183 is a European Standard and discusses standards for elbows welded ends used for pipe coupling in aerospace applications. The purpose of BS EN 4183 is to provide the required characteristics and technical specifications for elbows welded ends.

BS EN 4183 specifies the characteristics of elbows 90°, welded ends, for pipe couplings 8°30', in titanium alloy, for aerospace applications. Nominal pressure: up to 28 000 kPa. Temperature range: - 55 °C to 135 °C.

Who is BS EN 4183 – Aerospace elbows welded ends for pipe couplings for?

BS EN 4183 on Aerospace elbows welded ends for pipe couplings is useful for:

•  The aerospace and aeronautical industry
• The military
• Manufacturers and suppliers of aerospace components
• Manufacturers and suppliers of elbows welded ends
• Product design engineers/innovation teams
• Quality control/ training personnel
• Aerospace and aeronautical engineers

Why should you use BS EN 4183 – Aerospace elbows welded ends for pipe couplings?

Elbows welded ends are a key part of a piping system as these components are used to change the fluid flow direction. These parts connect two pipes with the same or different nominal diameters to make a pipe. This also helps the fluid direction turn to a certain direction, for instance, 90°.

The testing method in BS EN 4183 can serve as a guide to testing agencies, organizations and manufacturers involve in elbows welded ends for pipe couplings. BS EN 4183 ensures the reliability of aerospace equipment. This contributes to the safety of those on board.
