These test methods are intended to be referenced in sta
26、ndards 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 principally fo
27、r 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.

IEC 60811-100:2012, Electric and optical 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 con
31、junction with IEC 60811-100. All the tests shall be carried out not less than 16 h after the extrusion of the insulating or sheathing compounds Unless otherwise specified, tests shall be carried out at room temperature. NOTE In the absence of any requirement in the relevant cable standard, Annex A i
32、n this standard gives a recommendation for the test conditions and test requirements. 4.2 Apparatus The apparatus consists of the following parts: a) an air oven capable of maintaining the temperature and tolerance specified; b) mandrels of sufficient length made of metal or other suitable material.
33、 BS EN 60811-509:201260811-509 IEC:2012 7 4.3 Sample and test piece preparation for insulations 4.3.1 General Each core to be tested shall be represented by two samples of suitable length taken from two places separated by at least 1 m. External coverings, if any, shall be removed from the insulatio
34、n. The test pieces shall be prepared in one of the three following ways: a) For cores with an overall diameter not exceeding 12,5 mm, each test piece shall consist of a piece of core. b) For cores with an overall diameter exceeding 12,5 mm and having an insulation thickness not exceeding 5 mm, and f
35、or all sector-shaped cores, each test piece shall consist of a strip taken from the insulation whose width shall be at least 1,5 times its thickness, but not less than 4 mm. The strip shall be cut in the direction of the axis of the conductor. In the case of sector-shaped cores, it shall be cut out
36、of the “back” of the core. c) For cores with an overall diameter exceeding 12,5 mm and a wall thickness exceeding 5,0 mm, each test piece shall consist of a strip cut in accordance with item b) and then ground or cut (avoiding heating) on the outer surface, to a thickness between 4,0 mm and 5,0 mm.
37、This thickness shall be measured on the thicker part of the strip, whose width shall be at least 1,5 times the thickness. 4.3.2 Procedure Each test piece shall be tautly wound and fixed, at ambient temperature, on a mandrel to form a close helix, as given below: a) For test pieces prepared in accord
38、ance with 4.3.1 a), and for flat cables, the diameter of the mandrel and the number of turns shall be as given below in Table 1. The mandrel diameter shall be based on the minor dimension of the core which is wound on with its minor axis perpendicular to the mandrel. Table 1 Diameter of mandrel and
39、number of turns for cores with overall diameter not exceeding 12,5 mm External diameter of test piece mm Mandrel diameter (maximum) mm Number of turns Up to and including 2,5 Over 2,5 up to and including 4,5 Over 4,5 up to and including 6,5 Over 6,5 up to and including 9,5 Over 9,5 up to and includi

42、up to and including 5 2 4 6 8 10 6 6 6 4 2 For the application of Tables 1 and 2, the diameter or thickness of each test piece shall be measured by means of callipers or any other suitable measuring instrument. Each test piece, on its mandrel, shall be placed in the oven, pre-heated to the temperatu
43、re specified in the relevant cable standard or, if no other is specified in the cable standard, to that given in Annex A of this standard. The test pieces shall be removed from the oven and allowed to attain approximately ambient temperature. They shall then be examined while still on the mandrel. 4
44、.3.3 Expression of results The test pieces shall show no cracks when examined with normal or corrected vision without magnification. Cracks at the fixing points shall not be recorded as a fault. A crack is considered to be a crack if it goes through the whole insulation and/or sample thickness. 4.4
45、Sample and test piece preparation for sheaths 4.4.1 General Each sheath to be tested shall be represented by two samples of cable of suitable length taken from two places, separated by at least 1 m. Any external coverings shall be removed. a) For sheaths with an overall diameter not exceeding 12,5 m
46、m, each test piece shall consist of a piece of cable, except for polyethylene-insulated PVC sheathed cables. b) For sheaths with an overall diameter exceeding 12,5 mm and with a wall thickness not exceeding 5,0 mm, and for sheaths of polyethylene-insulated cables, each test piece shall consist of a
47、strip taken from the sheath, whose width shall be at least 1,5 times its thickness but not less than 4 mm; the strip shall be cut in the direction of the axis of the cable. c) For sheaths with an overall diameter exceeding 12,5 mm and a wall thickness exceeding 5,0 mm, each test piece shall consist
48、of a strip cut in accordance with item b) and then ground or cut (avoiding heating) on the outer surface, to a thickness between 4,0 mm and 5,0 mm. This thickness shall be measured on the thicker part of the strip, whose width shall be at least 1,5 times the thickness. d) For flat cables, if the wid
49、th of the cable does not exceed 12,5 mm, each test piece shall be a piece of complete cable. If the width of the cable exceeds 12,5 mm, each test piece shall consist of a strip taken from the sheath as specified in item b). 4.4.2 Procedure Each test piece shall be tautly wound and fixed, at ambient temperature, on a mandrel to form a close helix, as given below: BS EN 60811-509:201260811-509 IEC:2012 9 a) For test pieces prepared in accordance with 4.3.1 a), and flat cables of width no
