EN 3745-100 Aerospace - Test for General Properties of Fibers and Cables

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 3745-100 testing. This standard specifies the technical general specifications for optical fibers and cables.

In aviation, the general properties of fibers and cables are important considerations as they can affect the performance and safety of various components and systems. Testing the general properties of fibers and cables is a critical step in ensuring these materials meet the required standards and specifications for use in aerospace applications.

General properties of fibers and cables include physical, mechanical, thermal, electrical and chemical properties, and testing for these properties typically involves a variety of methods and procedures.

Some of the most common tests for general properties of fibers and cables in aviation include:

• Tensile test: This test measures the tensile strength, elongation and modulus of elasticity of a fiber or cable, which are important indicators of its mechanical properties.
• Bending test: This test measures the bending radius, bending strength, and bending modulus, which are important indicators of the flexibility and durability of a fiber or cable.
• Thermal test: This test measures the thermal conductivity, thermal expansion, and specific heat of a fiber or cable, which are important indicators of its ability to withstand temperature changes.
• Electrical test: This test measures the electrical conductivity, resistance, and dielectric strength of a fiber or cable, which are important indicators of its ability to transmit electrical signals.
• Chemical testing: This test measures the chemical resistance of a fiber or cable and its compatibility with various substances, which are important indicators of its ability to withstand exposure to different environments.

In general, testing the general properties of fibers and cables is a critical part of quality control and assurance processes in the aerospace industry.
