Overview
EN 6059-303:2017 is a European Standard established by CEN, specifying test methods for assessing the resistance to fluids of protection sleeves used to insulate electrical cables and cable bundles in aerospace applications. This standard ensures that protection sleeves maintain their integrity and performance when exposed to various fluids common in aircraft environments. EN 6059-303:2017 should be used in conjunction with EN 6059-100, which covers general test methods for aerospace electrical cable protection sleeves.
Key Topics
- Scope: Defines fluid resistance testing for protection sleeves utilized in aerospace electrical cable installations.
- Test Methodology: Specimens of sleeves (up to 600 mm in length) are immersed in various fluids at specified temperatures for 24 hours. Afterward, samples are examined for damage, dimensional changes, and tensile strength variations.
- Test Fluids: The standard lists compulsory fluids for testing, relevant to both textile and non-textile sleeves. These include fuels, hydraulic fluids, lubricants, cleaning fluids, de-icing liquids, fire extinguishing fluids, and avionic coolants.
- Requirements: After testing, specimens must meet dimensional and tensile strength criteria outlined in the product-specific standards without damage to fibers, closures, or sleeve structure.
- Normative References: Relies on additional documents, including:
- EN 3909 (Test fluids and methods)
- EN 6059-100 (General protection sleeve test methods)
- ISO standards for liquids and aircraft de-icing fluids
- Various SAE, ASTM, and military specifications relevant to aerospace fluids
Applications
EN 6059-303:2017 plays a critical role in the aerospace industry by ensuring the reliability and safety of electrical cable protection sleeves under exposure to operational fluids such as:
- Fuel Resistance: Ensures protection sleeves withstand fuels like kerosene and biofuels without degradation.
- Hydraulic Fluids Compatibility: Assesses sleeve materials against synthetic, phosphate, and silicone-based hydraulic fluids.
- Lubricant Exposure: Verifies durability when in contact with mineral and synthetic lubricating oils.
- Cleaning and De-Icing Agents: Certifies sleeves resist solvents, detergents, and de-icing fluids, critical for aircraft maintenance and operation in harsh environments.
- Cooling and Fire Safety Fluids: Confirms sleeve resistance to avionic coolants and some fire extinguishing agents used onboard aircraft.
By adhering to this standard, aerospace manufacturers and maintenance providers can:
- Ensure long-term protection of electrical cables from fluid damage
- Maintain system safety and electrical integrity under typical aerospace conditions
- Facilitate compliance with regulatory and quality assurance requirements
