BS EN 3857:2002

What is BS EN 3857- Characteristics of welded elbows about? 

BS EN 3857 is part of a series of European standards dealing with aerospace.

BS EN 3857 mentions the characteristics of welded elbows, configuration in terms of dimensions, tolerances, material and much more.

BS EN 3857 specifies the characteristics of welded elbows 90° for pipe couplings, 60°, spherical, in TI-P64001, for aerospace applications.

Note: Assembly in accordance with TR 4052.

Who is BS EN 3857 - Characteristics of welded elbows for? 

BS EN 3857 on characteristics of welded elbows is useful for: 

• Aeronautical engineers
• Aerospace and Defense Industry
• Testing agencies involved in the inspection of welded elbows
• Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
• Manufacturers and suppliers of welded elbows
• Product design engineers

Why should you use BS EN 3857 - Characteristics of welded elbows?  

Welded elbows are needed as it helps to change the angle or direction of the pipe run. The sweep of the fitting plays an imperative role as it determines how quick a transition or change in direction is made.

BS EN 3857 helps the suppliers and manufacturers in the making of a durable product that is reliable in the eyes of the consumers. For testing agencies, BS EN 3857 can be applied to conduct checks on the welded elbows to determine its quality for pipe couplings and its reliability for aerospace applications.

Overall, the guidelines of BS EN 3857 help you to ensure that your welded elbows meet the necessary quality requirements.
