These test methods are intended to be referenced in standards for cable construction and for cable materi
26、als. 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 principally for the materials in all energy cables. They have al
27、so been widely accepted and used for other cables, in particular optical fibre cables, communication and control cables and cables for ships and offshore applications.

31、d 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. WARNING Attention is drawn to the toxicity of ozone. Precautions should be taken to minimize exposure of personnel to it at all times and the concentration in
32、 the workroom environment should not be allowed to exceed 110-5% by volume, or the value in the current industrial hygienic standard, whichever is the lower. Unless otherwise specified, tests shall be carried out at room temperature. 4.2 Apparatus The following apparatus shall be used: a) a device f
33、or generating a controlled amount of ozone; b) a means for circulating ozonized air under controlled conditions of humidity and temperature through a chamber containing the test pieces to be tested; c) a means for determination of ozone concentration; d) a suitable device for the clamping and elonga
34、tion of test pieces; e) cylindrical mandrels consisting of wood or metal; BS EN 60811-403:201260811-403 IEC:2012 7 f) a desiccator filled with silica gel or equivalent material; g) an accurate laboratory balance reading to 0,1 mg. 4.3 Pre-conditioning of the samples All the tests shall be carried ou
35、t not less than 16 h after the extrusion or cross-linking, if any, of the insulating or sheathing compounds. If the test is carried out at ambient temperature, the test pieces shall be kept for at least 3 h at a temperature of (23 5) C. 4.4 Sampling and preparation of test pieces 4.4.1 Sampling of i
36、nsulation Whether the cable is single or multicore, only one core needs to be tested. Sufficient length of core shall be cut from a position not less than 1,5 m from the end of the length of cable to provide two test pieces, unless the core has an extruded semi-conductor layer on the outside, in whi
37、ch case sufficient length for four test pieces shall be taken. Any sample that shows signs of mechanical damage shall not be used for the tests. 4.4.2 Sampling of sheath One sample of the cable or cord to be tested, or of the sheath removed from the cable, shall be taken of sufficient size to provid
38、e a minimum of two test pieces. Any sample that shows signs of mechanical damage shall not be used for the tests. 4.4.3 Preparation of test pieces from insulation Any protective coverings present on the core shall be removed without damaging the insulation, unless they were applied directly to the i
39、nsulation prior to vulcanization and are adherent to it. If the core has a semi-conducting layer in the form of tape on the outside, this shall be removed. If the core has an extruded semi-conducting screen on the outside, this shall be removed from two test pieces and left in position on the other
40、two. 4.4.4 Preparation of test pieces from sheath Two dumb-bell test pieces shall be prepared in accordance with IEC 60811-501. The minimum test piece thickness shall be 0,6 mm. In the case of cables of such small size that it is not possible to prepare dumb-bell test pieces, the test method used sh
41、all be that specified for insulation. 4.5 Conditioning and deformation procedure of test pieces 4.5.1 Test pieces of insulation If the core does not have an extruded semi-conducting screen, one test piece shall be bent in the direction and plane of its existing curvature, without twisting, for one c
42、omplete turn around a mandrel, and bound with twine or tape where the ends cross, and a second test piece of the same core shall be bent similarly in the plane of its existing curvature but in the opposite direction. BS EN 60811-403:2012 8 60811-403 IEC:2012 If the core as manufactured has an extrud
43、ed core screen on the outside, two test pieces, one with the semi-conducting layer removed and one with the semi-conducting layer left in position, shall be bent, as above, in each direction. The bending shall be carried out at temperature 20 C to 28 C using a brass, aluminium or suitably treated wo
44、oden mandrel with a diameter according to Table 1. Table 1 Mandrel diameters Outside diameter of insulated core d Mandrel diameter (as a multiple of the outside diameter of insulated core) mm d 12,5 12,5 d 20 20 d 30 30 d 45 45 d 4 0,1 5 0,1 6 0,1 8 0,1 10 0,1 If the test piece is too rigid to permi
45、t the ends to be crossed, it shall be bent and tied so that at least 180 bend round a mandrel of the specified diameter is obtained. The surface of each test piece shall be wiped with a clean cloth to remove dirt or moisture. The bent test pieces on their mandrels shall be kept in air at ambient tem
46、perature without any further treatment for 30 min to 45 min before being tested. 4.5.2 Test pieces of sheath The surface of each test piece shall be wiped with a clean cloth to remove dirt or moisture. The test piece shall then be stored in the desiccator for at least 16 h at (23 5) C. Clamp both en
47、ds of the test piece in the clamping device, and elongate it by (33 2) % and keep the test piece elongated in the clamping device. NOTE To avoid possible ozone cracks near the clamps, the test pieces may be covered locally by a suitable ozone resistance lacquer. 4.6 Exposure to ozone The conditioned
48、 test pieces prepared as in 4.4 shall be placed in the middle of the test chamber fitted with a test cock; the test pieces shall be at least 20 mm from each other. The test pieces shall be maintained at a temperature of (25 2) C, unless otherwise specified in the cable standard, and exposed to a cir
49、culating current of dry air with the required ozone concentration. The ozone concentration and the exposure time shall be as specified in the relevant cable standard. The ozone concentration shall be measured inside of the test chamber in accordance with 4.8. The air with the required ozone concentration shall have a flow rate of between 280 l/h and 560 l/h, and the air pressure shall be maintained slightly above atmospheric pressure.
