These test methods are intended to be refere
23、nced in standards for cable construction and for cable materials. 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 pri
24、ncipally for the materials in all energy cables. They have also been widely accepted and used for other cables, in particular optical fibre cables, communication and control cables and cables for ships and offshore applications.

27、tical fibre cables Test methods 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 o
28、therwise specified, tests shall be carried out at room temperature. The measurement of the overall dimensions over the insulation of cores or over the sheath may be required as individual tests or as steps in the procedure for carrying out other tests. The methods used in 4.2 below are for general u
29、se, except where the procedure for a particular test specifies a different or alternative method. In each case, the method of selecting samples shall be in accordance with the relevant cable standard. 4.2 Measuring procedure The measuring procedure shall be as follows: a) For cables with overall dim
30、ensions not exceeding 25 mm, the measurements shall be made by means of a micrometer, a profile projector or similar apparatus, in two directions perpendicular to each other. For measurements made in the course of routine tests, it is permissible to use a dial micrometer or a vernier calliper, care
31、being taken to limit the pressure. BS EN 60811-203:201260811-203 IEC:2012 7 b) If the overall diameter exceeds 25 mm, the circumference of the cable shall be measured by means of a measuring tape, and the diameter shall be calculated. Alternatively, a direct reading diameter tape can be used. c) For
32、 flat cables, the measurements shall be made along the major and minor axes of the cross-section by means of a micrometer, a profile projector or similar apparatus. Unless otherwise specified in the relevant cable design standard, the reading shall be made to one decimal place of a millimetre for di
33、mensions up to and including 25 mm, and to the nearest 0,5 mm for dimensions exceeding 25 mm. 4.3 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 shall be in accordance with that
