It supersedes BSG223:1977 which is withdra

8、wn. The standard deals with the performance of the joints and details the suitability of devices for the various forms of screen construction currently in use. It is essential that equipment for installing thermally formed screen terminating devices in remotely high risk areas defined as Zone 2 in B

9、S5345 be certified to the requirements of the type of protection N of BS5345 or equivalent. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract.

12、the temperature ranges defined in the relevant cable specifications. The devices are intended for the purpose of pigtailing the cable screen where a low resistance path to earth or linking of screens is required, or for the purpose of dead-ending. The devices are not intended for use on radio freque

13、ncy (R.F.) cables. The types of screens in common use are as follows: a) circular stranded braid; b) flat stranded braid; c) spiral screen (circular strands). Where the design of the device excludes its use on a particular type or types of screen this will be declared. NOTEThe titles of the publicat

14、ions referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard the definitions contained in BSG178-1, and the following, apply. 2.1 application tools the tools used in forming mechanically formed and thermally formed joints NOTESee2.2 a
