BS EN 1715-2 is a series of European standards on aluminium and aluminium alloys that discusses the criteria for aluminium and aluminium alloys for electrical applications.
BS EN 1715-2 specifies requirements for drawing stock of aluminium and aluminium alloys for electrical applications. The general requirements and technical conditions for inspection and delivery are specified in EN 1715-1.
BS EN 1715-2 does not apply to the drawn wire.
BS EN 1715-2 on drawing stock of aluminium and aluminium alloys is relevant to:
Aluminum is an excellent heat and electricity conductor and in relation to its weight is almost twice as good a conductor as copper. This has made aluminum the first choice for major power transmission lines.
BS EN 1715-2 provide guidance on chemical composition, temper for delivery, product inspection and testing methods, chemical composition, mechanical properties, specific electrical resistivity (or conductivity), delivery documents and inspection documents.
As a user of BS EN 1715-2, you can be ensured of technical requirements for drawing stock of aluminium and aluminium alloys. BS EN 1715-2 exemplifies the required chemical composition, mechanical properties and specific electrical resistivity that help you achieve precision in terms of product functionality and specification. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 1715-2, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality aluminium and aluminium alloys for electrical applications. With BS EN 1715-2 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
