    EMI shielding with coated carbon yarn

    B.E. Thank you very much for your time and your feedback. We will undertake a series of EMC testing within the next few weeks. Will see what happen then. Firefix.

    EMI shielding with coated carbon yarn

    B.E. So from you are saying, the veil is incorporated into the composite sandwich manufactured from non-conductive material in order to enhance its conductivity and get the best compromise regarding weight. What kind of performance do you get against an whole Al. panel? Also, I was under the...

    EMI shielding with coated carbon yarn

    B.E. I know of EFT however it seems that they will have difficulties to bring the number of filament to our requirement. We will be using a 600 filament and I think that EFT can only manage a 3k tow. I am not very familiar with the mat's application do you line it on panel/box to increase...

    EMI shielding with coated carbon yarn

    B.E. A multi-filament carbon fiber with a copper coating and an external nickel plating. Firefix

    EMI shielding with coated carbon yarn

    Conductivity is the real issue. I am looking at using nickel plated copper clad carbon yarn with a 40-50% metal containt by weight. This is for weight saving. I have been told that the Dupont fiber ARACON (Nickel plated kevlar yarn) do the trick on RF cables, personally I doubt it as the core is...

    EMI shielding with coated carbon yarn

    Does anyone has any experience in coated carbon yarn for EMI/RFI shielding on wires?

    fire resistance interior panels

    Thanks for your response Nigel. This sound quite subjective, do you know if there are any test methods or standards to define their resistance? (i.e. the break strength or maximum curving)

    fire resistance interior panels

    Does anyone knows if the interior aircraft panel (i.e.partitions, galleys, etc) have any damage resistance requirements or is the material used simply selected (beside its mass of course) on the basis of its fire resistance and heat release?
