27、th one specimen during 24 h at 80 C above the nominal rating temperature. The variation in attenuation shall not exceed the specified value. 4.4.2 Test The attenuation shall be monitored throughout the test in accordance with EN 3745-301, method C. Connect the specimen ends to the coupler, the coupl

28、er to LLS and the other specimen ends to LDS. Place the fixture in the test chamber. The coupler and connectors shall not be into climatic chamber. Begin the test sequence with the highest test temperature (1) since exposure times will be relatively short. Record the exposure time to failure for eac

29、h specimen. A failure is defined when the variation in attenuation is higher than the specified value. Stop the test sequence when all specimens in group have failed. Calculate the log average life as defined in ASTM-D3032. If the log average life at this temperature (highest) is found to be less th

30、an 100 h, too high a test temperature has been selected and these data should be discarded. Tests should be repeated at lower temperature. BS EN 3745-410:2015EN 3745-410:2015 (E) 6 Repeat this procedure with the group N 2 of specimens for 2 temperature value. Calculate the log average life as define

31、d in ASTM-D3032. Repeat this procedure with the group N 3 of specimens for 3 temperature value. Calculate the log average life as defined in ASTM-D3032. Repeat this procedure with the last group of specimens for 4 temperature value (lowest). Calculate the log average life as defined in ASTM-D3032. I

32、f the average life found at this test temperature is less than 5 000 h, this test will be made at lower temperature. 4.4.3 Final measurements and requirement The calculation of average life and extrapolation are defined in the ASTM-D3032 Standard test methods for hookup wire insulation. 4.4.4 Specia

33、l precautions Extrapolation to a temperature index expected at the selected end of life (10 000 h, 20 000 h or 40 000 h) should not exceed 25 C below the lowest aging test temperature. The log average life at the highest test temperature (1) shall not be less than 100 h. The log average life at the

34、lowest test temperature (4) shall not be less than 5 000 h. 5 Method B (with mechanical stress applied) 5.1 Preparation of test specimens One set for life testing shall consist of ten specimens fixed on the apparatus (Figure 1) at each temperature. A minimum of four sets of specimens is necessary. I

35、n order to reduce the variation of stress to the fibre the cable shall be attached to the test fixture by trapping it between two padded plates rather than using standard aircraft cable clamps. 5.2 Test conditions Length of specimens 5 m. Length of specimens within the test chamber 3 m. Maximum perm

A test fixture is used to secure the specimens, this fixture shall be so

39、designed that the cable is mounted so that it can be bent at 90 either side of its centre line and is free to freely follow a curve between the two clamp points that corresponds to it minimum bend radius (D = 2R). The test sample is to be so arranged that only the portion of the sample in the flexin

40、g area is stressed during the test. The fixtures corner is to be rounded and padded see Figure 1 and Figure 2. A climatic chamber capable of temperature control of 2 C.

42、tion of the highest test temperature with one specimen during 24 h at 80 C above the nominal rating temperature. This evaluation needs to be done at temperatures below the degradation temperature of raw materials used in the cable under test. The jacket shall not fail or the variation in attenuation

43、 shall not exceed the specified value in which case repeat the test at a lower temperature. 5.5.2 Test The attenuation shall be measured at the end of each exposure cycle in accordance with EN 3745-301, method C. Connect the specimen ends to the LLS and the other specimen ends to LDS during all the

44、cycles. Place the fixture in the test chamber. The connectors shall not be in the climatic chamber. Measure the attenuation of each test specimen. Begin the test sequence with the highest test temperature (1) since exposure times will be relatively short. Expose the specimens for the first test cycl

45、e. NOTE This measurement is for reference only and does not form part of the qualification testing. To monitor the behaviour of the cable/s under test at high temperature, an attenuation measurement of each cable shall be made at the maximum point of the high temperature cycle immediately prior to r

46、educing the temperature to ambient. On completion of the exposure period allow the specimen to return to ambient. Bend the specimen to 90oonce in each direction then return the specimen to the neutral position before measuring the attenuation value. Inspect the cable jacket in the bend area for majo

47、r cracks or splits without disturbing the cable. BS EN 3745-410:2015EN 3745-410:2015 (E) 9 Start the next exposure cycle. Record the number of exposure cycles to failure for each specimen. A failure is defined when the variation in attenuation is higher than the specified value or the jacket splits

48、or cracks. The life of each specimen is defined as the number of cycles to failure times the length of each cycle. Stop the test sequence when all specimens in the set have failed. Calculate the log average life as defined in ASTM-D3032. If the log average life at this temperature (highest) is found

49、 to be less than 100 h, too high a test temperature has been selected and these data should be discarded. Tests should be repeated at lower temperature. Repeat this procedure with the group N 2 of specimens for 2 temperature value. Calculate the log average life as defined in ASTM-D3032. Repeat this procedure with the group N 3 of specimens for 3 temperature value. Calculate the log average life as defined in ASTM-D3032. If the calculated regression line does
