BS 2C 11 is a standard that discusses components for use in aerospace applications.
BS 2C 11 specifies the basic dimensional and access clearance requirements for pressure testing connections on pressurized aircraft for coupling with the hose unit or adaptor of ground pressurizing equipment. Three sized of connection are specified as follows:
Connection bore Recommended cabin volume
22,22 mm1(0.875 in) Not exceeding 10m3
46,04 mm (1.8125 in) 10 to 45 m3 (300 to 1500 ft 3)
72,39 mm (2.85 in) 45 to 170 m3 (1500 to 6000 ft 3)
BS 2C 11 on specification for ground pressure test connections is useful for:
When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability, consistent performance, and durability are crucial.
BS 2C 11 provides you with basic dimensions and access clearance requirements for ground pressure test connections for use in aircraft pressure cabins.
As a quality compliance personnel, you can use BS EN 2C 11 guidance for testing connections on pressurized aircraft.
If you are a manufacturer, you can ensure your products play a positive role in the performance and functional efficiency of aircraft pressure cabins.
BS 2C 11 creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of pressure testing connections to adhere to if they supply their components for use by the aerospace industry.
Thus, with compliance to BS 2C 11, you can demonstrate reliability of ground pressure testing equipment and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
