23、es a practical method for evaluating fibre performance in a defined environment. The purpose of this standard is to determine the suitability of optical fibre sub-category A1a to A1d multimode fibres and class B and C single-mode fibres to withstand the environmental condition of high humidity and h

24、igh temperature which may occur in actual use, storage and/or transport. The test is primarily intended to permit the observation of effects of high humidity at constant temperature over a given period. This procedure is conducted in accordance with IEC 60068-2-78, Test Cab. NOTE The applicability o

25、f this test to other fibre categories is under study. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

The chamber shall be capable of housing the specimen and of allowing access for measurement during con

30、ditioning. It shall also be capable of maintaining the specified temperature and humidity within the specified tolerances. Forced air circulation may be used to maintain homogeneous conditions. The chamber and accessories shall be constructed and arranged in such a manner as to avoid condensation dr

31、ipping on the specimen. 3.2 Humidifier De-mineralized or de-ionized water is used to obtain the specified humidity. No rust or corrosion contaminants shall be imposed on the specimen by the test facility. The water added to the humidifier shall be controlled according to the manufacturers instructio

32、ns. 3.3 Other apparatus Additional apparatus may be necessary to perform the examinations and measurements (or as specified in the detail specification). 4 Sampling and specimens For optical measurements, the length of the specimen shall be at least 1 000 m for fibre sub-categories A1a to A1d, and a

33、t least 2 000 m for fibre class B and C, to allow the required measurement repeatability. The amount of the specimen outside of the test chamber shall be minimized, and if it exceeds 10 % of the overall specimen length, this should be reported. The preparation of the specimen shall have no detriment

34、al effect on the fibre whilst under test conditions. Unless otherwise defined in the detail specification, it is recommended that the fibre sample be loosely coiled and dusted with a material such as talcum powder, to allow the coils to move freely against each other. The specimen may be coiled hori

35、zontally or vertically, with a minimum bend diameter of 150 mm to avoid any macro-bend effects. A length of the control specimen shall be removed prior to the test to enable the completion of required mechanical measurements for comparison to measurements made after the test. This specimen should no

36、t be dusted. 5 Procedure 5.1 General Conduct the procedure in accordance with IEC 60068-2-78, Test Cab, with the temperature, humidity and exposure time as given below: Temperature Relative humidity Exposure time +85 C 85 % 30 days 5.2 Optical measurements Attenuation measurement shall be carried ou

37、t at the wavelength specified in the relevant specification using either IEC 60793-1-40:2001, Annex B (insertion loss) or IEC 60793-1-40:2001, Annex C (backscattering) before, during (once the specimen has stabilized at the specified temperature and relative humidity) and after the test. Attenuation

38、 changes shall be recorded. BS EN 60793-1-50:2015IEC 60793-1-50:2014 IEC 2014 7 Other optical measurements may be required if specified in the relevant product specification 5.3 Mechanical measurements The fibre coating strip force shall be measured before and after the test, using the method descri

39、bed in IEC 60793-1-32. The control specimen (see Clause 4) is used to evaluate the change in strippability. The tensile strength shall be measured on the aged specimens, according to IEC 60793-1-31. The stress corrosion susceptibility parameter, dynamic n value (nd), shall be measured on the aged sp

40、ecimens as per IEC 60793-1-33. . 5.4 Preconditioning If specified, the specimen shall be preconditioned, as required by the detail specification. 5.5 Conditioning Stabilize the chamber and the specimen to standard atmospheric conditions prior to the reference measurements being taken. Adjust the cha

41、mber temperature and humidity to the specified severity. Allow the specimen to reach temperature stability and maintain the temperature and humidity for the duration specified. At the completion of the test, allow the specimen to remain in the chamber while the temperature is reduced to standard atm

42、ospheric conditions. The rate of change of temperature shall not exceed 1 C/min, averaged over a maximum period of 5 min. The detail specification may call for measurements during conditioning. If required, the detail specification shall specify the measurements to be taken and when to take them. Do

43、 not remove the specimen(s) from the chamber whilst these measurements are being made. 5.6 Recovery Unless otherwise required by the relevant specification, the specimen shall remain under standard atmospheric condition for recovery for a period greater than 12 h but not more than 48 h. The detail s

44、pecification may call for measurements during recovery. If required, the detail specification shall specify the measurements to be taken and when to take them. 6 Pass/fail criteria The applicable specification limits can be found in the relevant sectional specification of IEC 60793-2-10 for A1 fibre
