Overview
EN 2591-311:1997 is part of the aerospace series of test methods published by CEN. It specifies a method for assessing the ability of elements of electrical and optical connection to operate at low air pressure. This part is intended to be used together with EN 2591 (the overarching series reference) and is adopted in national implementations such as SIST EN 2591-311:2001.
The standard focuses on practical evaluation of connector function and behaviour when subjected to reduced atmospheric pressure conditions encountered in aerospace environments. It supports consistent assessment across design, validation, and procurement activities.
Key Topics
- Scope and purpose: Defines the objective of verifying operation of electrical and optical connection elements under low air pressure.
- Test method framework: Establishes a standard approach to assess connector performance in reduced-pressure environments (to be applied together with the general EN 2591 provisions).
- Applicability: Targets elements of connection used in aerospace electrical and optical systems.
- Conformance and reporting: Emphasises reproducible test procedures and results documentation to support engineering decisions.
Applications
EN 2591-311:1997 is relevant for organizations and professionals involved in aerospace connector design, qualification, and maintenance. Practical applications include:
- Design verification of electrical and optical connectors for aircraft and spacecraft systems.
- Qualification testing during component development to demonstrate suitability for low-pressure operation.
- Supplier and procurement criteria to ensure connector performance and reliability in flight conditions.
- Support for maintenance, overhaul and system-level troubleshooting where pressure-related behaviour may affect connector operation.
Benefits of applying this standard:
- Improved consistency in low air pressure testing of connectors.
- Clear basis for technical acceptance and supplier comparison.
- Enhanced confidence in connector performance, safety and reliability in aerospace environments.
