Overview

EN 4049-001:2006 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the technical requirements for aerospace-grade thermocouple extension cables. These cables are designed for operating temperatures ranging from -65 °C to 260 °C and serve as the connection between thermocouples and aerospace equipment. This standard covers essential characteristics, materials, construction, test methods, qualification procedures, and acceptance criteria tailored to meet the stringent needs of aerospace applications.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Purpose: Defines the required properties, testing, and quality assurance measures for thermocouple extension cables used in aerospace environments.
  • Materials and Construction: Specifies conductor materials based on ISO 8056-1, emphasizing corrosion resistance, smooth insulation, and reliable cable lay configurations. Special attention is given to screened cables with defined coverage and braiding requirements to ensure electrical integrity.
  • Electrical and Mechanical Characteristics: Details conductor tensile strength, elongation, insulation quality, and screening parameters critical for performance under aerospace conditions.
  • Test Methods: Offers comprehensive test protocols encompassing visual inspection, resistance measurements, voltage proof tests, mechanical stress tests like bending and torsion, thermal shock, and humidity resistance. These ensure compliance with safety and durability requirements.
  • Quality Assurance: Addresses qualification and acceptance tests, periodic testing schedules, and batch sampling procedures to maintain consistent manufacturing quality.
  • Marking and Packaging: Sets standards for cable identification (manufacturer, type, batch, origin), packaging, and minimum delivery lengths ensuring traceability and ease of installation.

Applications

EN 4049-001:2006 is essential for manufacturers and engineers working in the aerospace and defense sectors where accurate temperature measurement is critical. Practical applications include:

  • Aircraft Systems: Thermocouple extension cables specified by this standard are used to connect temperature sensors within engines, environmental controls, and avionics equipment.
  • Spacecraft and Satellites: Cables meeting these specifications ensure reliability in extreme temperature variations experienced in space missions.
  • Testing and Maintenance: Aerospace maintenance operations rely on these standardized cables for calibration, replacement, and safety checks, guaranteeing optimal thermocouple readings under harsh conditions.
  • High-Temperature Industrial Processes: While focused on aerospace, the standards for temperature range and durability make these cables suitable for other industries requiring precise temperature sensing in challenging environments.

Related Standards

  • ISO 8056-1: Provides conductor requirements and tests for nickel-chromium and nickel-aluminium thermocouple extension cables.
  • EN 60584-2: Defines thermocouple tolerance classes related to accuracy and performance.
  • EN 3475 Series: Covers general aerospace electrical cable test methods essential for compliance with EN 4049-001.
  • EN 9133: Addresses quality management systems and qualification procedures for aerospace standard parts, relevant to manufacturing and acceptance tests.
  • ISO 2574: Specifies the identification marking system for aircraft electrical cables for traceability.

By adhering to EN 4049-001:2006, stakeholders in aerospace electrical systems ensure high-quality, reliable thermocouple extension cables that withstand demanding operating conditions, maintain measurement accuracy, and comply with international aerospace safety and performance standards. This contributes significantly to system safety, operational efficiency, and long-term durability in aerospace applications.
