Part 99 describes test methods having national applicabilit
11、y only.The International Eletrotechnical Commission has completed its comprehensive update of the test methods previously given in IEC 538, IEC 538A and IEC 540, which are now largely brought together in IEC 811. Electrical tests from IEC 540 have been incorporated into IEC 885. The technical change
12、s introduced during this update, and endorsed by CENELEC in HD 505, are now included in BS 6469.BS 6469-4.2 includes a number of test methods described in BS 6234. Other test methods from BS 6234, from BS 6746 and from BS 6899 have been incorporated in BS 6469-99. The status of these test methods in
13、 BS 6234, BS 6746 and BS 6899 will be reviewed separately.BS 6469 describes methods of test, but does not specify requirements for products or materials. These will be specified in the relevant cable standards or cable material standards.This Section of BS 6469 details the electrical tests previousl
14、y specified in BS 6469:1990 which have not been included in CENELEC Harmonization Document HD 505. These test methods are called up in various electric cable specifications for non-harmonized national types.It has been assumed in the preparation of this British Standard that the execution of its pro
15、visions will be entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people, for whose use it has been produced.WARNING. The methods of test described in this British Standard do not necessarily detail all precautions necessary to meet the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.
16、 Attention should be paid to any appropriate safety precautions and the tests should be carried out only by trained personnel.Cross-references between the relevant clauses in BS 6469:1990 and those in BS 6469-1 to BS 6469-5 and BS 6469-99 are given in Appendix A.

20、ating and sheathing materials of electric cables.This Section of BS 6469 gives methods for electrical tests not included in the CENELEC Harmonization Document HD 505, and hence not given in BS 6349-1 to BS 6349-5.The methods of test described in this Section of BS 6469 are as follows:a) a test for i
21、nsulation resistance constant (K value);b) a test for power factor and permittivity;c) a capacitance test for water absorption of insulation.NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.2 Test valuesFull test conditions (such as temperatures an
22、d durations) and full test requirements are not specified in this standard; it is intended that they should be specified by the standard dealing with the relevant type of cable.Any test requirements which are given in this standard may be modified by the relevant cable standard to suit the needs of
23、a particular type of cable.3 ApplicabilityConditioning values and testing parameters are specified for the most common types of insulating and sheathing compounds and of cables, wires and cords.4 Type tests and other testsThe test methods described in this standard are suitable to be used for type t
24、ests. In certain tests, where there are essential differences between the conditions for type tests and those for more frequent tests, such as routine tests, these differences are indicated.5 SamplingFor multicore cables and cords, not more than three cores (of different colours, if any) shall be te
25、sted unless otherwise specified in the relevant cable standard.6 Pre-conditioning and test temperatureAll the tests shall be carried out not less than 16 h after the extrusion or vulcanization (or cross-linking), if any, of the insulating or sheathing compounds.Unless otherwise specified, tests shal
26、l be made at room temperature.NOTE In the UK room temperature is defined as 20 5 C.7 DefinitionsFor the purposes of this Section of BS 6469, the definitions given in BS 4727-2:Group 08 apply.8 Method of test for insulation resistance constant (K value)8.1 Test on coreRemove the sheath and any other
27、covering or filling for a length of at least 5 m, taking care not to damage the insulation.When specified in the relevant standard, condition the core by immersion in water for 12 h to 16 h at a temperature of 20 5 C, with a length of about 250 mm at each end of the core projecting above the water.I
28、mmediately after the conditioning period, immerse the core in water at the temperature stated in the relevant standard. After immersion for 120 10 min, apply a voltage between 300 V d.c. and 500 V d.c. between the conductor and the water. Measure the insulation resistance 1 min after the application

Wherever possible remove any tape before the
35、test. Prepare the test specimen from the sample not less than 48 h after vulcanization, by drying for 24 h in air at 70 5 C. Allow the test specimen to cool to approximately 50 C before immersion in the water.10.2 Immersion of specimenPlace the test specimen in a water tank so that its middle portio
