BS 4G-198 Part 3 Type 15
BS 4G 198-3 is a standard for shrink fittings or shrink tubing used in the aerospace industry, categorized under the following ICS categories: 49.060 Aerospace electrical equipment and systems.
This part of BS 4G 198 specifies the design, performance, quality assurance, and testing methods for the types of shrinkable connectors listed in Table 1 and Table 2. These connectors are intended for binding, insulation, and identification purposes. Routine tests and quality tests are also specified. These shrink fittings can be used in both aerospace and non-aerospace applications.
When specified, shrink fittings used with adhesives and/or shrinkable formed shapes must meet the requirements of the compatibility test as described in part 5.
In addition to the final requirements, this standard also requires that items as described in clause 3 be documented. To comply with this standard, both the final requirements and the documented items must be met.
