Alloys are mostly composed of aluminium and other elements and are proved very important in many sectors like aerospace manufacturing. BS 4868 is a British Standard that covers both corrugated and troughed aluminium sheets.
BS 4868 specifies requirements for material, profile, dimensions (including tolerances) and finish for profiled aluminium sheet for building.
Note: The titles of the British Standards referred to in BS 4868 are listed on the inside back cover.
BS EN BS 4868 on the specification for aluminium sheets is useful for:
Aluminium and aluminium alloys are used in the engineering field in huge amounts, in structures and construction components. The designation of aluminium alloys and master alloys based on their chemical symbols is usually followed by numbers indicating the nominal content of the considered alloying element.
BS 4868 discusses the material and profiles that depict a user-friendly idea of aluminium sheets. BS 4868 also discusses freedom from defects which contributes to the performance characteristics of aluminium sheets ensuring their reliability. The guidelines in BS 4868 help you perceive the specification for aluminium sheets that enables you to provide a superior quality product to your customers.
