BS EN 4708-104 is an international standard for aerospace series that provides guidance on the polyvinylidene fluoride sleeving.
BS EN 4708-104 is a European Standard that specifies the required characteristics for a heat-shrinkable, semi-rigid polyvinylidene sleeving for use in aircraft electrical systems at operating temperatures between – 55 °C and 175 °C.
This sleeving is basically transparent but may be tinted. It is semi-rigid, tough, and abrasion-resistant, and is suitable for use where strain relief and mechanical protection are required, or where their transparent properties are desirable.
These sleevings are normally supplied with internal diameters up to 25,4 mm for shrink ratios of 2:1.
Note: Sizes other than those specifically listed in this European Standard may be available. These items shall be considered to comply with BS EN 4708-104 if they comply with the property requirements listed in Tables 2, 3, and 4 except for dimensions and mass.
BS EN 4708-104 on polytetrafluoroethylene sleeving is useful for:
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a chemical compound used in high-temperature applications.
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) sleeve is chemical resistant, fireproof, durable, and reliable and used for insulating the cable jacketing in the aircraft and electronics industry, industrial power control systems, high-temperature wiring, etc.
As a manufacturer, you can use BS EN 4708-104 guidance in the production of PVDF-based seals, gaskets, lining, etc.
BS EN 4708-104 gives guidelines on characteristics such as dimensions, testing methods and labelling and packaging.
By using BS EN 4708-104, you can manufacture the best quality sleeves including all the qualities that make it best for use in aircraft.
