BS EN 16602-70-39 specifies the processing and quality assurance requirements for the different types of metallic welding (manual, automatic, semi-automatic, and machine) for space flight applications.
BS EN 16602-70-39 can also be used for weld activities on space-related ground equipment and development models for flight hardware.
BS EN 16602-70-39 covers all welding processes used for joining metallic materials for space applications.
Note: BS EN 16602-70-39 does not detail the weld definition phase and welding pre-verification phase, including the derivation of design allowable.
BS EN 16602-70-39 on welding of metallic materials for flight hardware is applicable for:
The welding of metallic materials occurs frequently during the manufacture and assembly of parts for space flight hardware.
Guidelines provided in BS EN 16602-70 helps you with the necessary requirements to perform welding of metallic materials for space applications.
BS EN 16602-70-39 provides guidance on welding design, test equipment, and facilities, procedure specification, inspection, and process verification. Thus, this standard helps manufacturers in welding purposes, production of flight or aerospace equipment and achieving quality assurance.
