General Information
Overview
EN 2848:2013 specifies the required properties and test regimes for acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) formulated for aerospace use, with a hardness of 80 IRHD and resistance to petroleum-based fuels and synthetic (diester) oils. Published by CEN and prepared by ASD-STAN, this European Standard defines both qualification and batch-acceptance testing and provides practical criteria for material selection in aircraft sealing and component applications.
Key practical points defined in the standard:
- Material: acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) as per ISO 1629 nomenclature
- Hardness: 80 IRHD (nominal)
- Typical use: components requiring resistance to petroleum fuels and diester-based lubricants
- Service temperature: continuous -40 °C to 120 °C, intermittent -40 °C to 150 °C
Key Topics
Test requirements and acceptance: EN 2848 references EN 3207 for technical specification of rubber compounds and ISO 1817 for determination of the effect of liquids. For qualification, all tests in the standard must be performed; for batch acceptance a subset of tests (identified in the tables) is required.
Mechanical properties: Typical minimums and limits given in the standard include tensile strength ≥ 11 MPa and elongation at break ≥ 150% (batch tests apply where indicated). Hardness is specified as 80 ± 4.5 IRHD (see tables in EN 2848 for exact tolerances).
Environmental resistance: The standard includes requirements for resistance to low temperatures (TR10 and crystallization points), ozone resistance, and corrosion/adhesion behaviour on metals after aging exposures.
Design and designation: EN 2848 gives guidance on description and identity blocks to ensure consistent material designation for procurement and inspection.
Applications
This standard is directly applicable where NBR seals, gaskets and molded parts are exposed to aviation fuels and synthetic oils. Typical applications include:
- Fuel system seals and O-rings
- Hydraulic and lubrication system gaskets where diester lubricants are used
- Molded anti-vibration and sealing components requiring controlled hardness and fuel/oil compatibility
Using EN 2848-compliant NBR helps ensure predictable batch-to-batch performance, traceable material designation, and conformity with aircraft industry expectations for fuel and oil resistance.
