BS G 198 is published in the following separa

13、te parts. Part 1: Specification for elastomeric sleeves for binding and identification; Part 2: Specification for slip-on sleeves for identification purposes; Part 3: Specification for heat-shrinkable sleeving for binding, insulation, and identification; Part 4: Specification for fluoropolymer heat-

14、shrinkable sleeving for binding and insulation; Part 5: Specification for heat-shrinkable moulded shapes. It is envisaged that there will be a further part on heat-shrinkable dual wall sleeves. (This work has been transferred to IEC SC15C WG5.) This part of BS G 198 supersedes BS 3G 198-3:1994 which

15、 is withdrawn. This part of BS G 198 specifies requirements for heat-shrinkable sleeving, in a range of diameters, lengths and materials for binding, insulation and identification purposes on electric cables and insulated equipment wires in aircraft. Sleeves are available as uncoloured transparent a

16、nd in a range of colours. The various types of sleeving covered by this British Standard have been designated by the allocation of type numbers. These numbers have been adopted by the aircraft industry over a period of years and do not necessarily run consecutively through the parts of BS G 198. Sle

17、eving should be installed in accordance with the manufacturers or the suppliers instructions and, in particular, it should be noted that when shrinkage is restricted some properties may be impaired, e.g. wall thickness will be reduced, and sleeving life may also be reduced. It should be noted that t

18、he majority of heat guns available for the application of sleeving are not for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Application tools for the installation of heat-shrinkable sleeving in these areas should be designed for Zone 2 areas in accordance with BS 5345-2. BSI 12-1999 iii BS 4G 198-3:199

19、9 This edition deletes types 11D and 14 and removes the requirement for a test for durability of marking. WARNING NOTE 1 This standard calls for the use of substances and/or test procedures that may be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability

20、 and in no way absolves either the supplier or the user from statutory obligations relating to health and safety at any stage of manufacture or use. WARNING NOTE 2 It should be clearly understood that the combustion characteristics tests detailed in this standard, i.e. flammability, oxygen index, fl

21、ammability temperature, smoke index and combustion products index are in no way suitable for assessing a total fire hazard situation. They are solely for the purpose of specifying the basic quality requirements of the heat-shrinkable sleeving. A British Standard does not purport to include all the n

22、ecessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i to iv, pag

23、es 1 to 45 and a back cover. The BSI copyright notice displayed in this document indicates when the document was last issued.iv blank BSI 12-1999 1 BS 4G 198-3:1999 1 Scope This part of BS G 198 specifies the design, performance, quality assurance and methods of test for the types of heat-shrinkable

24、 sleeving shown in Table 1 and Table 2. These sleeves are for binding, insulation and identification purposes. Routine and quality tests are also specified. These sleeves may be used in both aerospace and non-aerospace applications. When specified, sleeves used with bonding adhesives and/or heat-shr

25、inkable moulded shapes should conform to the compatibility test requirements detailed in part 5. In addition to the definitive requirements, this standard also requires the items detailed in clause 3 to be documented. For compliance with this standard, both the definitive requirements and the docume

26、nted items have to be satisfied. NOTE 1 Recommendations for the storage of finished sleeves is given in annex A. NOTE 2 The latest revision of an Aerospace Series standard is indicated by a prefix number. NOTE 3 Sleeving that has been shrunk is referred to as recovered. 2 Normative references The fo
