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

27、s. 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 cables. They have also

28、 been widely accepted and used for other cables, in particular optical fibre cables, communication and control cables and cables for ships and offshore applications.

32、for non-metallic materials Part 504: Mechanical tests Bending tests at low temperature for insulation and sheaths 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in IEC 60811-100 apply. 4 Test method 4.1 General This part of IEC 60811 shall be used in conju

33、nction with IEC 60811-100. All the tests shall be carried out not less than 16 h after the extrusion of the insulating or sheathing compounds. Tests shall be carried out at the temperature specified in the relevant cable standard. For tests on insulation, the test is intended for insulated conductor

34、s of circular cross-section having an external diameter greater than 12,5 mm and for sector-shaped cores large enough to prepare dumb-bells. Where it is not possible to prepare dumb-bells, a bending test suitable for testing the performance of cores of smaller diameter is described in IEC 60811-504.

35、 This test is intended for the sheaths of cables not subjected to the bend test as specified in IEC 60811-504. It is intended for cables with an overall diameter over 12,5 mm, or for flat cables having, a major axis dimension over 12,5 mm. Cables with an overall diameter up to BS EN 60811-505:201260

36、811-505 IEC:2012 7 and including 12,5 mm shall be subjected to the low temperature bending test detailed in IEC 60811-504. 4.2 Elongation test at low temperature for insulation 4.2.1 Sampling Each core to be tested shall be represented by two samples of suitable length. 4.2.2 Preparation of test pie

37、ces After all covering (including outer semi-conducting layer, if any) has been removed, the insulation shall be cut open in the direction of the axis, after which the conductor and the internal semi-conducting layer, if any, shall be removed. The insulation need not be ground or cut if the inner an

38、d outer surfaces are smooth, and its mean specified thickness does not exceed 2,0 mm. Samples having a thickness exceeding this limit, or samples having imprints or ridges on the inner side, shall be ground or cut to obtain two parallel and smooth surfaces, and a thickness which does not exceed 2,0

39、mm. The minimum thickness after grinding or cutting shall be 0,8 mm but if the original thickness of the insulation does not allow it, then 0,6 mm shall be permitted as the minimum thickness. Grinding and cutting shall be carefully carried out to avoid undue heating and mechanical stresses in the in

40、sulation. All strips shall be conditioned at ambient temperature for at least 3 h. After this preparation, two dumb-bells from each sample in accordance with Figure 1, or if necessary Figure 2, shall be punched in the direction of the axis of each sample; if possible, two dumb-bells shall be punched

41、 side by side. For sector-shaped cores, the dumb-bells shall be punched out of the rounded “back” of the core. If an apparatus is used which allows the direct measurement of the distance between the marker lines during the test, the dumb-bells shall be marked in accordance with IEC 60811-501. 4.2.3

42、Apparatus The test may be carried out on a machine provided with a cooling device or on a machine installed in a cooling chamber. Using a liquid as the refrigerant, the conditioning time shall be not less than 10 min at the specified test temperature. When cooling in air, the conditioning time for c

43、ooling the apparatus and test piece together shall be at least 4 h. If the apparatus has been pre-cooled, this period may be reduced to 2 h, and if the apparatus and test piece have been pre-cooled, the conditioning time after the test piece has been fixed in the apparatus shall be not less than 1 h

44、. If a liquid mixture is used for cooling, it shall not impair the insulating or sheathing material. An apparatus which allows direct measurement of the distance between the marker lines during the elongation test is preferred, but it is also permissible to use an apparatus with which the displaceme

45、nt between the grips can be measured. BS EN 60811-505:2012 8 60811-505 IEC:2012 4.2.4 Procedure and test conditions The grips of the tensile apparatus shall be of a non-self-tightening type. In both pre-cooled grips, the dumb-bell shall be clamped over the same length. The free length between the gr

46、ips shall be about 30 mm for both types of dumb-bells if the direct measurement of the distance between the marker lines is to be made during the test. If the displacement of the grips is to be measured, the free length between the grips shall be (30 0,5) mm for the dumb-bell in accordance with Figu

47、re 1, and (22 0,5) mm for the dumb-bell in accordance with Figure 2. The speed of separation of the grips of the tensile machine shall be (25 5) mm/min. The test temperature shall be as specified for the type of compound in the standard for the type of cable. The elongation shall be determined by me

48、asuring the distance between the marker lines, if possible, or between the grips at the moment of the rupture. 4.2.5 Evaluation of results For calculating the elongation, the increase of the distance between the marker lines shall be related to the initial distance of 20 mm (or 10 mm if the dumb-bel

49、l in accordance with Figure 2, is used), and expressed as a percentage of this distance. If the alternative method of measuring the distance between the grips is used, the increase of this distance shall be related to the original distance, being 30 mm for the dumb-bell in accordance with Figure 1, and 22 mm for the dumb-bell according to Figure 2. When this method is used, the test piece shall be examined before being removed from the apparatus; if the test piece has partly s
