EN 3745-510 Aerospace - Bending Test 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 3745-510 testing. This standard specifies a method for determining the attenuation variation of an optical cable during mechanical bending under load at maximum and minimum operating temperatures.

In aviation, bending testing is a common method used to evaluate the strength and durability of fibers and cables used in aircraft components. The bending test is a type of mechanical test that measures a material's ability to withstand deformation when subjected to bending forces.

To perform a bend test, a fiber or cable sample is attached to both ends and a force is applied to bend it at a certain angle. The sample is then held in this position for a certain period of time and the force is gradually released. The degree of bending and the amount of force required to bend the specimen are measured and recorded.

The bending test is also used to evaluate the flexibility and ductility of a material. Materials that are more flexible and ductile are better able to withstand bending forces without breaking or being damaged. This is particularly important in aviation, where materials must be able to withstand high levels of stress and strain without failing.
