These test methods are intended to be referenced in standards for cable construction and for cable materials. NOTE 1
25、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 been wide
26、ly accepted and used for other cables, in particular optical fibre cables, communication and control cables and cables for ships and offshore applications.

29、hods for non-metallic materials Part 100: General 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 conjunction with IEC 60811-100. Unless otherwise specified, tests sha
30、ll be carried out at room temperature. Measurement of insulation thickness may be required as an individual test, or as a step in the procedure for carrying out other tests, such as the determination of mechanical properties. In each case, the method of selecting samples shall be in accordance with
31、the relevant cable standard. 4.2 Measuring equipment A measuring microscope or a profile projector of at least 10 x magnification or an optical digital image analyser shall be used. These two types of equipment shall allow a reading of 0,01 mm and an estimated reading to three decimal places when me
32、asuring insulation with a specified thickness less than 0,5 mm. In case of doubt, the measuring microscope shall be taken as the reference method. BS EN 60811-201:201260811-201 IEC:2012 7 4.3 Sample and test pieces preparation Any covering shall be removed from the insulation, and the conductor(s),
33、together with separator (if any) shall be withdrawn, care being taken to avoid damage to the insulation. Semi-conducting inner and/or outer layers, if bonded to the insulation, shall not be removed. Each test piece shall consist of a thin slice of insulation. The slice shall be cut with a suitable d
34、evice along a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the conductor. The cores of non-sheathed flat cables shall not be separated. If the insulation carries an indented marking, thus giving rise to a local reduction in thickness, the test piece shall be taken so as to include such marking. 4
35、.4 Measuring procedure The test piece shall be placed under the measuring equipment with the plane of the cut perpendicular to the optical axis. a) When the inner profile of the test piece is of circular form, six measurements shall be made radially, each approximately 60, as shown in Figure 1. For
36、sector-shaped cores, six measurements shall be made as shown in Figure 2. b) When the insulation is taken from a stranded conductor, six measurements shall be made radially as shown in Figures 3 and 4. c) When the outer profile shows unevenness, the measurement shall be carried out as shown in Figur
37、e 5. d) When there are unremovable screening layers under and/or over the insulation, they shall be excluded from the measurements. e) If unremovable screening layers are present under and/or over an opaque insulation, a measuring microscope shall be used. f) Flat non-sheathed cables shall be measur
38、ed according to Figure 6, the thickness of insulation in the direction of the other core being taken as half the distance between the conductors. In all cases, the first measurement shall be taken where the insulation is thinnest. If the insulation carries an indented marking, this shall not be incl
39、uded in the measurements made for the calculation of mean thickness. In any case, the thickness at the position of the indented marking shall comply with the minimum requirement specified in the relevant standard. The readings shall be made in millimetres to two decimal places if the specified thick
40、ness is 0,5 mm or above and to three estimated decimal places if the specified thickness of the insulation is less than 0,5 mm. 4.5 Evaluation of the measurement results The results shall be evaluated as specified in the test requirements of the relevant cable standard. 5 Test report The test report
41、 shall be in accordance with that given in IEC 60811-100 and shall include measuring equipment specifications.
