ISO DIS 16130

Description / Abstract: This standard shall be applied for the dynamic testing of the locking behaviour of bolted connections in order to investigate the self-loosening behaviour of fasteners for aerospace applications and mainly intended for development work.

As test apparatuses are different (e. g. stiffness distribution) testing in accordance with this standard, therefore, does not allow an absolute statement to be made on the locking behaviour of bolted assemblies under service loads.

Thus, the objective of this test is a comparative evaluation of locking elements under defined test conditions.
