Overview
EN 6049-007:2012 is a European Standard developed by CEN, specifically tailored for the aerospace industry. It defines the requirements and characteristics of flexible, self-wrapping protective sleeves made from meta-aramid fibres for electrical cables and cable bundles. Designed for post-installation application, these sleeves offer mechanical and electrical protection while withstanding extreme temperature ranges from -55 °C to 260 °C. This ensures durability and safety in demanding aerospace environments. The standard emphasizes integration of water-repellent features to protect against moisture ingress, enhancing the reliability of aerospace electrical installations.
Key Topics
- Material Composition: The sleeves consist of a woven blend of textured meta-aramid continuous yarn and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) monofilament, preventing fraying and providing superior thermal and mechanical properties.
- Design and Dimensions: The sleeve sizes range with specified overlap angles to fit varying cable bundle diameters from 1 mm up to 40 mm. Identification is facilitated by an ivory tracer line centered along the sleeve.
- Temperature Range: Operational capability spans from low temperatures of -55 °C up to high temperatures of 260 °C, making it ideal for aerospace applications where thermal extremes are common.
- Electrical and Mechanical Protection: The sleeve can serve as electrical insulation at 115 VAC/400 Hz, 15 A max per conductor, complying with EN 6059-502 standards. It also provides mechanical safeguards against abrasion, vibration, and impacts due to its flexible and resilient nature.
- Water Repellency: Treated with water-repellent coatings for protection against moisture, ensuring long-term performance in humid or wet aerospace conditions.
- Testing and Compliance: The standard mandates rigorous testing including tensile strength, flammability, smoke density, resistance to fluids and mould growth, voltage proof, arc resistance, abrasion, and vibration endurance. These tests align with aerospace safety requirements ensuring reliable operation under critical conditions.
Applications
EN 6049-007:2012 protective sleeves are primarily used in the aerospace sector for:
- Electrical Cable Harnesses: Post-installation wrapping of cable bundles in aircraft to protect wiring from mechanical damage, electrical arcs, and environmental factors.
- Aerospace Electrical Systems: Providing additional insulation and protection for avionics wiring and power distribution systems exposed to wide temperature fluctuations and harsh conditions.
- Retrofitting and Maintenance: Enables flexible and easy installation on existing cable assemblies to add protective layers without full disassembly.
- Moisture and Arc Protection: Enhances cable longevity and functionality by providing water resistance and electrical arc resistance in critical aerospace environments.
