SIST EN 2236:2001

SIST EN 2236:2001 is a Slovenian standard published by SIST for aerospace series pins. It specifies the requirements for close tolerance, headed, shear pins in alloy steel, and it applies when a product standard or definition document refers to it.

What does SIST EN 2236:2001 specify?

SIST EN 2236:2001 specifies the technical requirements for headed, close tolerance shank pins made of alloy steel for aerospace use. The standard is intended to be called up by a product standard or by a definition document, so it becomes relevant when that pin type is part of a defined product design.

The scope is narrow and practical: it is not a general fastener document, but a technical specification for one aerospace pin family. For a reader, that means the standard is used to control the exact pin type named in the title, rather than to cover all pins or all aircraft hardware.

The front matter identifies SIST EN 2236:2001 as the Slovenian standard identical to EN 2236:1992.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 2236:2001?

SIST EN 2236:2001 sets the requirements for three linked characteristics of the pin:

• Aerospace series - the pin is for aerospace applications, so the document is used in a controlled engineering context.
• Headed design - the pin has a head, which matters when the part must be retained or located in a joint.
• Close tolerance shank - the shank is made to close tolerances, which matters because fit and positional accuracy are critical in assembled joints.
• Alloy steel material - the pin is made from alloy steel, which matters for strength, durability and suitability for aerospace service.
• Shear pin application - the pin type is a shear pin, so it is intended for a load path where shear performance is the key design concern.
• Referenced use only - the standard applies when a product standard or definition document cites it, which means users should check the calling-up document before applying it.

In practice, this standard is used to define the pin that must be manufactured, specified, inspected and supplied. It helps the parties involved use the same technical reference when the fastener is part of an aerospace product definition.

Who uses SIST EN 2236:2001?

SIST EN 2236:2001 is used by aerospace designers, manufacturers, quality staff and buyers who need a common technical reference for headed close tolerance shank pins in alloy steel. It is relevant wherever a design or procurement document calls for this exact pin type.

Manufacturers use it when producing the pin. Quality teams use it when checking that the supplied part matches the referenced specification. Buyers and engineers use it when selecting the correct standard for a defined aerospace fastener requirement.

What changed in SIST EN 2236:2001 from the previous edition?

SIST EN 2236:2001 is identified as the Slovenian standard identical to EN 2236:1992.

What does the SIST EN 2236:2001 document contain?

SIST EN 2236:2001 contains the technical specification for aerospace series pins with a headed, close tolerance shank in alloy steel. It provides the reference text used when a product standard or definition document needs this pin type to be controlled by a standard.

For users, the document serves as the specification basis for design definition, manufacturing, conformity checking and purchasing. Its role is to fix the named pin type as a standardised aerospace part so that all parties refer to the same technical document.
