The definition is taken from EN 60695-4. 3.1 combustion exothermic reaction of a substance with an oxidizer with emission of effluent, generally accompanied by flames ando

27、r glowing and/or emission of smoke 4 Test apparatus The apparatus used shall be that specified in EN 50267-1 together with the following measuring instruments: - analytical balance of an accuracy of *O, 1 mg; - pH meter to an accuracy of *0,02, equipped with a suitable pH electrode; - Conductivity m

28、easuring device with a range lo2 pS/mm to lo2 pS/mm and a suitable electrode; - timer. 5 Test method and procedure 5.1 General principle A pre-determined quantity of the test material is burned in a tube hace. The evolved gases are trapped by bubbling through wash bottles filled with distilled or de

29、mineralized water. Each wash bottle shall contain approximately 450 mi of distilled or demineralized water with the following properties: pH 6,5 f 1,O; conductivity I 0,5pS/mm. The acidity is measured by determination of pH value. The conductivity of the solution is also measured. 0 BSlO9-1999 Copyr

31、 taken. The samples shall be stored for at least 16 h at a temperature of (23 i 2) OC and a relative humidity of (50 f 5) %. 5.3 Test pieces A test piece shall consist of (1 O00 f 5) mg of the material to be tested taken from the representative sample. The test piece shall be cut into a number of sm

32、aller pieces. 5.4 Procedure The test pieces, which shall be weighed to an accuracy of 1 mg, shall be put into a combustion boat. They shall be evenly distributed on the bottom of the boat. The air flow shall be adjusted by means of a needle valve at (0,015 702) 1.h-I I10 % and kept constant during t

33、he test. NOTE 1 it is recommended that the air flow is not started until immediately prior to the commencement of the test. The temperature value shall be measured by a thermocouple suitably protected against corrosion and placed inside the tube. The boat containing the test pieces shall be quickly

34、inserted into the effective zone of the tube and the timer shall be started. The combustion boat shall be placed in such a way that the distance between the boat and the exit end of the effective heating zone is 2300 mm; the temperature measured at the position of the boat shall be not less than 935

35、 OC. The temperature measured at a position 300 mm fiom the boat in the direction of the air flow shall be not less than 900 “C. The combustion procedure under the air flow condition shall be continued for 30 min in the furnace. NOTE 2 The operator should take precautions, .e. the wearing of eye pro

36、tection and suitable protective clothing, because certain materials ignite quickly, and can cause blow-back“ of hot gases. Care should also be taken to avoid over-pressurisation of the system, and to allow for venting of exhaust gases. After the test, and before determination of the pH and conductiv

37、ity, the contents of both bottles shall be aggregated in a volumetric flask and made up to 1 O00 mi using water with the properties given in 5.1. NOTE 3 AAer removing the combustion boat, the tube has to be cleaned throughout its length by calcination at 950 OC. 5.5 Determination of the pH value and

38、 conductivity 5.5.1 Calibration of thepH meter The pH meter shall be calibrated as proposed by the instrument supplier. 5.5.2 Determination of the pH value and conductivity of the solution The pH value of the solution shall be determined at room temperature. The pH value shall be read by using the a

39、utomatic temperature compensation, usually integral with the instrument. Conductivity measurements shall be performed in accordance with the test procedures as prescribed by the supplier. 6 Expression of the results Two test determinations shall be undertaken on each non-metallic individual material

40、 to be tested. The test is considered to be passed if both the pH value of each sample of the material is not less than the specified value and the conductivity does not exceed the specified value. If one sample fails, the test determination shall be repeated on two further samples of the relevant m

41、aterial. Both repeat samples shall comply with specified limit values.

42、8 Annex A (informative) Performance requirements No requirements for conformity are included in this standard. The method specified in this standard is intended for testing of individual materials used in cable construction. The use of this method will enable the requirements for individual material

43、s of a cable construction to be stated in the appropriate cable specification. Where no requirements are specified in the particular cable specification, and where the cable is described as “zero halogen” or “halogen-he” it is recommended that at least both the following requirements should be met f

44、or each of the individual materials of a cable constniction. a) The pH value as determined in 6, should not be less than 4,3, when related to one litre of water. b) The conductivity value as determined in 6, should not exceed 10 pS/mm, when related to one litre of water. In case of dispute over the

45、conductivity value, such as may occur if the recommended value is exceeded even though the test shows compliance with the recommended pH value, alternative methods of investigation should be agreed between interested parties.
