30、e of this test is to verify the ability of a couple of connectors installed on a wall dividing 2 areas, to sustain a fire for at least 5 min, without electrical discontinuity and to contain the flame on the side exposed to fire for 20 min. 5 Preparation of specimens 5.1 Layout For EN 2997: 8-06 for
31、contact size 22; 10-06 for contacts size 20; 18-08 for contact size 12; 24-30 for contact size 16.

33、thout integrated accessory The connector shall be fitted with a straight backshell, unsealed with clamp strain relief type EN 3660-XXX or equivalent on both sides. Cables in the area between the clamps and rear grommet shall be exposed to the flame without protection, see Figure 1 and Figure 2. Glas
34、s fibre sheath or equivalent shall be installed where the cables contact the clamp, to avoid any electrical breakdown in this area. Cables shall be clamped between 200 mm to 250 mm of the rear of the grommet in both sides. BS EN 2591326:2018EN 2591-326:2018 (E) 6 Figure 1 Figure 2 5.2.2 Model with i
35、ntegrated accessory Cables and rear grommet shall be exposed to the flame without protection and without a metallic braid. See Figure 3. Cables shall be clamped between 200 mm to 250 mm of the rear of the grommet in both sides of the test assembly. Figure 3 5.3 Wiring Specimens shall be wired with c
36、able bundles 450 mm min. in length. All cavities shall be fitted with wired contacts. Two circuits shall be connected in series, one using the even-numbered contacts and the other using the odd-numbered contacts, see Figure A.1. In case of alphabetical identification of contact cavities, the followi
37、ng rule shall apply: A, C, E, G are considered odd number contacts; B, D, F, H are considered even number contacts. BS EN 2591326:2018EN 2591-326:2018 (E) 7 5.4 Recommendation Unless specified in the technical specification, the following details shall be stated: mounting method, type of fire-resist
38、ant cable (EN 2234 or MIL qualified equivalent) and definition of specimen wiring; initial measurements (if applicable); value of leakage current (phase 1); nominal current to be applied to contacts (phase 1); Angle and position of burner. 6 Apparatus 6.1 General The rig shall allow movement/rotatio
39、n of the burner between the calibration and test phases, without turning off the burner, nor modifying the intended distance and relative positioning of the specimen. See Figure 4. The spatial positioning of the burner shall ensure that the centre of the temperature measuring tool and the centre of
40、the heat flux measuring tool are within a tolerance from the centre of the expected impinged specimen surface. The distance “X” from the burner nozzle to the connector shall be calibrated according to ISO 2685 (see 5.2). Figure 4 Example of fuel burner providing the standard flame 6.2 Burner calibra
41、tion 6.2.1 General The temperature calibration of the burner consists of adjusting the mixing ratio of air and combustible, until the flame is delivering a standard flame. A flame is characterized by its temperature and its heat flux. As the quantitative value is directly dependent on the instrument
42、ation, it is necessary to respect a common tool to ensure uniformity between tests. BS EN 2591326:2018EN 2591-326:2018 (E) 8 The overall calibration process shall consist of the following operations (see Figure 5): Positioning of the specimen (distance X and Y); Flame Temperature calibration and sta
43、bilization; Heat flux calibration and stabilization.

The flame temperature is measured with 7 (seven) thermocouples type K (Ni-Cr/N
45、i-Al) positioned over a metallic support at regular intervals of (25 1) mm. The distance between the burner nozzle and the thermocouples is X = 100 mm 10 %. The thermocouples shall be positioned at a height of Y = 25 mm 10 % over the axial centreline of the burner. For each thermocouple, the flame t
46、emperature shall be over 1 020 C. Short excursions above 1 180 C are permissible provided the average temperature remains within the range 1 020 C to 1 180 C. The 7 (seven) thermocouples measuring points issued from the comb flame temperature recording shall be (1 100 80) C. 6.2.3 Temperature sensor
47、 disposal Due to its flame shape, it is accepted for only a liquid fuel burner, to perform the calibration with 7 (seven) thermocouples aligned as shown in Figures 6 and 7. For a liquid fuel burner, the temperature measurement is acceptable with a line of 7 (seven) measuring points aligned within th
48、e symmetrical line of the area impingement, spaced with a 25 mm pitch. For a liquid fuel burner, the temperature measurement is acceptable if each of the 7 (seven) thermocouples measures a temperature of (1 100 80) C over a 2 min period.
