Overview
EN 2591-513:2002 is a CEN European aerospace test method that defines how to verify that the relative magnetic permeability of elements of electrical and optical connection (primarily connectors) is below a specified value. The method is intended for low-permeability (low-µ) materials - specifically relative magnetic permeability of 2.5 or less - and is published to support reliable electromagnetic performance in aerospace applications. This test method is to be used together with EN 2591-100 (general test requirements).
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Confirms a test item’s relative magnetic permeability lies below a specified maximum (suitable for µr ≤ 2.5).
- Specimen preparation: Typically uses fully assembled, mated connector pairs with wired contacts. For non-connector items, specimen prep is defined in the applicable product standard.
- Details to specify: Product standards must define the maximum relative permeability level and the exact test sample configuration.
- Test principle and equipment:
- Uses a low-µ permeability indicator based on a permanent magnet mounted on a balanced movable arm.
- The indicator employs calibrated low-magnetic inserts of known permeability values.
- Test procedure:
- A calibrated insert of the specified permeability is fixed in the indicator.
- The indicator’s magnet is placed in contact with the test item and the insert.
- The indicator is moved away normal to the contact surface; the sequence in which contact breaks (magnet from insert vs. magnet from test item) determines whether the test item’s permeability is higher or lower than the insert’s calibration value.
- Requirement: The maximum allowable relative permeability must be specified in the product standard; the test verifies compliance.
Applications
- Verifying magnetic properties of aerospace electrical and optical connectors and related components where low magnetic permeability is critical to avoid magnetic interference or susceptibility.
- Quality control and incoming inspection in aerospace manufacturing.
- Material screening for connector contacts, shells, and nearby structural parts that can affect magnetic performance of sensors or assemblies.
Who uses this standard
- Aerospace manufacturers and suppliers of electrical/optical connectors
- Design and test engineers responsible for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
- Qualification and quality assurance teams in aviation and space projects
- Accredited test laboratories performing material and connector test methods
