These test methods are intended to be referenced in standards for cable construction and

25、for cable materials. NOTE 1 Non-metallic materials are typically used for insulating, sheathing, bedding, filling or taping within cables. NOTE 2 These test methods are accepted as basic and fundamental and have been developed and used over many years principally for the materials in all energy cabl

26、es. They have also been widely accepted and used for other cables, in particular optical fibre cables, communication and control cables and cables for ships and offshore applications.

31、ion with IEC 60811-100. Unless otherwise specified, tests shall be carried out at room temperature. 4.2 Apparatus The following apparatus shall be used: a) Glass tubes closed at one end (e.g. by melting), 110 mm long with an outer diameter of approximately 5 mm and an inner diameter of (4,0 0,5) mm.

32、 Tubes made of AR-glass shall be used complying with ISO 695:1991; Alkali resistance, Class A2, ISO 719:1985; Hydrolytic resistance, Class HGB3, BS EN 60811-405:201260811-405 IEC:2012 7 ISO 1776:1985; Acid resistance, max. weight loss 150 g Na2O/100 cm2; b) Universal indicating paper with a pH range

33、 of 1 to 10. c) Thermostatically controlled heating apparatus for a temperature specified in the standard for the type of cable, or, if the temperature is not specified in the cable standard, at (200 0,5) C. An oil bath is preferred and shall be used for type tests and in case of doubt. d) Calibrate

34、d thermometer with divisions of 0,1 C. Depending on the type of thermometer, and the way in which it has been calibrated and is used, a mercury column correction may be necessary. e) Stop-watch or a suitable time meter. 4.3 Pre-conditioning All the tests shall be carried out not less than 16 h after

35、 the extrusion of the insulating or sheathing compounds. 4.4 Test procedure The test procedure shall be as follows: NOTE The use of a sufficiently accurate thermometer and compliance with the required test temperature limits are absolutely necessary to obtain reliable test results and to restrict sc

36、atter in these results. a) From the insulation of each core to be tested or from the sheath to be tested, three samples, each of (50 5) mg, shall be taken. Each sample shall consist of two or three small strips having a length between 20 mm and 30 mm. Each sample shall be inserted into a glass tube

37、as specified in item a) of 4.2. The sample shall occupy no more than the bottom 30 mm of the tube. b) A strip of dry universal indicating paper, as specified in item b) of 4.2, about 15 mm long and 3 mm wide, shall be inserted into the open end (top) of the glass tube so that the strip protrudes abo

38、ut 5 mm out of the tube and can be bent to keep it in position. c) The glass tube shall be placed into the heating apparatus, as specified in item c) of 4.2, which has already attained the test temperature specified. The glass tube shall be inserted into the heating apparatus to a depth of 60 mm. d)

39、 The time taken for the universal indicating paper to change colour from a pH value of 5 pH to a value between 2 pH and 3 pH shall be measured, or the test continued for the specified duration without the colour change occurring. The colour change point shall be considered to have been reached when

40、the red colouring of the universal indicating paper characteristic of a pH value of 3 is just becoming visible. The universal indicating paper shall be renewed (especially for long duration stabilities) towards the end of the expected test time every 5 min to 10 min, so that the change point is bett

41、er visible. 4.5 Evaluation of results The average value of the thermal stability times of the three samples shall not be lower than the value specified in the standard for the type of cable. 5 Test report The test report shall be in accordance with that given in IEC 60811-100.
