General Information
Overview
EN 4186:2001 is a CEN (AECMA-prepared) European Standard for aerospace series pipe coupling 8°30' in titanium alloy - specifically covering unions and cross fittings. It defines the required characteristics, configuration and acceptance criteria for titanium alloy unions and cross fittings used in aerospace fluid systems. The standard applies to fittings rated for nominal pressure up to 28 000 kPa and a temperature range 55 °C to 135 °C (as stated in the standard).
Key topics and requirements
- Configuration, dimensions and mass: Parts are specified by figure and table references (e.g., MJ thread sizes from MJ10 to MJ39) with dimensional tolerances and mass values given before lubrication.
- Threads and geometric form: Thread limits follow ISO 5855‑3; thread ends and geometric configuration reference EN 3274.
- Materials: Titanium alloy requirements reference EN 3311 / EN 3312 / EN 3314 / EN 3315 depending on form (bars, forgings, condition).
- Surface treatment and lubrication: Lubrication on threads and sealing faces per EN 2491; pre‑lubrication abrasive blasting with non‑metallic grit; specified lubricant film thickness 0.005 mm to 0.013 mm.
- Internal surface finishing: Radii between 0.3 mm and 1.0 mm and surface roughness of 0.8 μm; hand deburring is not permitted.
- Surface roughness and marking: Surface roughness per figure; marking in accordance with EN 2424 (style A).
- Technical specification and acceptance: Acceptance and qualification align with EN 3275 (type II) for pipe coupling performance.
Practical applications and users
- Who uses it: Aerospace component manufacturers, specification engineers, procurement teams, quality and test laboratories, and suppliers of high‑pressure titanium fittings.
- Where it’s applied: High‑pressure aircraft hydraulic and fluid distribution systems, situations demanding lightweight, corrosion‑resistant titanium unions/cross fittings rated up to 28 000 kPa. The standard helps ensure interchangeability, safety and consistent performance in aerospace fluid systems.
