BS EN 4510 is a European Standard that specifies the characteristics of the pipe coupling adapter, 60° spherical sealing face manufactured in titanium alloy with a locking ring, for installing in a boss for aerospace applications.
These adapters shall be installed into port connections manufactured in accordance with EN 2602 using ISO 3601-1 sealing O-rings selected sizes. O-ring material depends on the system fluid and operation conditions. The installation shall be performed in accordance with EN 2608.
Nominal working pressure: up to 28000 kPa.
Temperature range: limited by an elastomeric sealing ring, −54 °C to +135 °C.
BS EN 4510 on pipe coupling adapter is useful for:
Pipe couplers slip over the outside of two pipes to connect them, usually permanently. A coupling can be a reducer, or reducing coupling, meaning they reduce flow by joining a larger pipe to a smaller size. Adapters are used when connecting two pipes of different types.
Pipe coupling adapters are used to connect two or more sections of pipe for maintaining continuity and to join pipes of different or equal sizes, as well as connect more than just two pipes if they are cross or T-shaped. Flexible couplings adapter allow for efficient and speedy piping repair. BS EN 4510 gives you guidelines on configuration, dimensions, material, heat and surface treatment, surface roughness, sealing areas, installation, working pressure of pipe coupling.
As a manufacturer, you can use BS EN 4510 guidance in the production of pipe coupling adapter.
By using BS EN 4510, you can manufacture the best quality pipe coupling adapter including all the qualities that make it best for use in aircrafts.
