Full title and description
STB BS EN 3272-2001 — Aerospace series - Pipe coupling 8°30' - Dynamic beam seal end for ferrule, welded - Geometric configuration. This document defines the geometric configuration and dimensional requirements for the dynamic beam (lip) seal end intended for welded ferrules used with 8°30' pipe couplings in aerospace fluid systems.
Abstract
This standard specifies the shape and key dimensions of the dynamic beam seal (lip) for welded ferrules to be used with 8°30' pipe couplings rated up to a nominal pressure of 28 000 kPa for aerospace applications. It provides drawings and dimensional tolerances necessary for design and manufacture, and is intended to ensure interchangeability and sealing performance in aerospace hydraulic and fluid systems.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: It is the European aerospace standard EN 3272:2001 (adopted in national variants such as STB BS EN 3272-2001) that specifies the geometric configuration and dimensions for the dynamic beam (lip) seal end of welded ferrules used with 8°30' pipe couplings in aerospace fluid systems.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers the shape, key dimensions, and tolerances of the dynamic beam seal end for welded ferrules intended for use with 8°30' pipe couplings, including nominal pressure guidance (up to 28 000 kPa) and the drawings needed for manufacture and inspection.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Aerospace design and systems engineers, manufacturers of couplings and ferrules, quality/inspection teams, and procurement/specification authors in the aerospace and defence sectors.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: EN 3272:2001 has been listed as withdrawn in catalog/record entries with withdrawal effective in early 2026; users should verify the currently active/superseding edition via their national standards body or the CEN catalogue. National adoptions (STB, BS, etc.) may show different adoption or withdrawal records—check the national body for the authoritative status in your market and any later revisions (for example, references to EN 3272:2004 appear in some national records).
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — it is part of a group of aerospace coupling and fitting standards dealing with dimensions, sealing arrangements and configurations for pipe couplings and associated ferrules; related EN and national documents cover complementary geometric, material and test requirements for fittings and couplings.
