What is BS EN 2155-2 - Water absorption of transparent materials for aircraft glazing about? 

BS EN 2155-2 discusses test methods for transparent materials for aircraft. The aim of the BS EN 2155 series is to provide the best industrial practice to determine the performance efficiency of the product.  

BS EN 2155-2 specifies the method used for the determination of the water absorption by means of immersion in conformance with ISO 62, method 1, applicable for transparent materials. In addition, it specifies the particular conditions for aircraft glazing.

Who is BS EN 2155-2 - Water absorption of transparent materials for aircraft glazing for? 

BS EN 2155-2 on water absorption of transparent materials for aircraft glazing is useful for:   

Aircraft window manufacturers    
Testing laboratories    
Quality control personnel

Why should you use BS EN 2155-2 - Water absorption of transparent materials for aircraft glazing?    

When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aircraft components, reliability, consistent performance and durability are crucial. BS EN 2155-2 describes a laboratory method for determining the behaviour of materials in certain moist conditions. BS EN 2155-2covers apparatus, procedure, and test report. This can help to determine water absorption of transparent material that can affect the dimensions and the electrical, thermal and mechanical properties. 

Thus, if you are a manufacturer of transparent materials for aircraft glazing, compliance with BS EN 2155-2 guidelines can ensure that your products are reliable and effective at the point of use.
