Overview
EN 3566:2001 is a European standard developed by CEN for aerospace applications. It specifies the characteristics of adaptors with a lockring design for pipe coupling systems with an 8°30' interface, manufactured from titanium alloy. These adaptors are intended for installation in a boss and are suitable for high-performance aerospace fluid systems. The standard supports operation at nominal pressures up to 28,000 kPa within a temperature range from -55 °C to +135 °C, making it suitable for demanding operational environments encountered in the aerospace industry.
Key Topics
- Lockring Pipe Couplings: Details the use of lockring technology, ensuring secure and reliable connections in aerospace fluid systems.
- Material Requirements: Specifies titanium alloy as the material of construction for adaptors, referencing EN 3311 and EN 3314, which guarantees high strength and corrosion resistance.
- Design Features: Describes dimensional requirements, surface finish, and mass for compatibility with pipe coupling systems featuring an 8°30' interface.
- Performance Specifications: Adaptors must withstand high pressure (up to 28,000 kPa) and a broad temperature range (-55 °C to +135 °C), fulfilling the operational needs of aerospace fluid systems.
- Surface Treatment: Outlines lubrication and anodizing requirements for the adaptor surface, enhancing durability and protecting against friction and wear.
- Marking and Identification: Ensures adaptors are marked according to EN 2424 for traceability in aerospace systems.
Applications
The EN 3566:2001 standard is essential for manufacturers, suppliers, and maintenance engineers working with aerospace fluid systems. It is widely applicable in the following areas:
- Hydraulic and Fuel Systems: Ensures safe, leak-free connections in aircraft hydraulic and fuel management systems, where reliability is critical.
- Aerospace Structure Integration: Used for securely connecting pipes within the structure of commercial and military aircraft, helicopters, satellites, and other aerospace vehicles.
- Component Manufacturing and Repair: Serves as a reference for manufacturing adaptors and for quality assurance during maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) activities.
- System Upgrades and Retrofits: Provides guidance for system upgrades, ensuring compatibility and standardization across newer and legacy aerospace platforms.
Related Standards
To assure full conformity and optimal system performance, EN 3566:2001 references several other vital standards, including:
- ISO 5855-3: Aerospace - MJ threads - Limit dimensions for fittings for fluid systems.
- EN 2424: Marking of aerospace products.
- EN 2491: Molybdenum disulphide dry lubricants - Coating methods.
- EN 2602/EN 2603/EN 2604/EN 2645: Dimensions and specifications for straight unions, ports, and lockrings in aerospace pipe coupling systems.
