Overview
SIST EN 6049-003:2018 is a European standard published by CEN that specifies the product requirements for braided, tubular, expandable protection sleeves made from meta-aramid fibres. These sleeves are designed for mechanical protection of electrical cables and cable bundles installed in aerospace applications. The standard defines characteristics such as materials, composition, dimensions, mechanical properties, and test methods to ensure the durability and performance of the protection sleeves used in harsh aerospace environments.
This standard is part of the broader aerospace series focusing on electrical cable installation and protection, providing guidance to manufacturers and users on selecting sleeves that can withstand temperature extremes, fluid exposure, and mechanical wear.
Key Topics
- Material Composition
The sleeves are manufactured using multifilament meta-aramid fibre tows, braided in a tubular expandable pattern to ensure mechanical protection and flexibility. - Dimensions and Mass
The sleeves are available in various sizes with specific inner diameter ranges and mass per meter standards, ensuring compatibility with different cable bundles. - Mechanical and Environmental Performance
The sleeves must maintain tensile strength after exposure to sunlight (minimum 45% retention after 40 hours), temperature range of −55 °C to +240 °C, and resistance to fluids (90% tensile strength retention). Water repellency and resistance to mould growth are mandatory features. - Test Methods
Comprehensive testing includes visual inspection, dimensional checks, coverage evaluation, flammability, tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and toxic gas emissions during burning, following referenced EN aerospace test standards such as EN 6059-201, EN 2825, and EN 3844-1. - Marking and Designation
Clear guidelines for sleeve identification include size code, color (olive green preferred, with additional colors for specific applications), and standard reference, supporting traceability and standardized use.
Applications
- Aerospace Electrical Systems
These protection sleeves are designed for aircraft electrical wiring harnesses and cable bundles, providing excellent mechanical protection while allowing expansion over varied cable sizes. - Defense Equipment
Suitable for electrical installations in defense aerospace systems where mechanical protection against abrasion, heat, and fluid exposure is critical. - Harsh Environmental Protection
Ideal for aerospace installations exposed to extreme temperatures, UV radiation, and fluid contaminants, ensuring long-term durability and safety. - Cable Bundle Management
Expandable braided tubular sleeves facilitate neat cable harness routing with adaptability and protection, enhancing aircraft system reliability.
