BS EN 6059-304:2017EN 6059-304:2017 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies methods for determining the flammability characteristics of protective slee
17、ves, including heat shrink dual wall sleeves, for electric cable and cable bundles. It shall be used together with EN 6059-100. These tests are designed to satisfy the requirements in JAR-25 Section 1, Part 1, Appendix F. There are two methods included in this standard: Method 1 Applicable for texti
18、le fabric sleeves. Method 2 Applicable non-textile sleeves for use on electrical/ optical cables and harness components. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, o
19、nly the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

21、3.1 Method 1 The specimen for fabric sleeves shall be a rectangular shape of at least 75 mm by 305 mm. 3.2 Method 2 A length of sleeving of at least 250 mm is to be mounted on a bundle of 7 AD 8 cables which has been covered in a copper braid 1). If necessary to ensure that the sleeve is correctly f
22、itted it may be secured at either end by ptfe/glass ties. Figure 1. Heat shrinkable sleeves shall be recovered onto a copper tube, Table 1, of diameter approximately one size larger than the specified maximum recovered internal diameter. The copper tube shall have a maximum wall of not greater than
23、1,05 mm. The specimen shall be marked 100-105 mm from the lower end to indicate the central point for flame application. 1) Alternatively a length of thin wall copper tube pipe could be substituted for the cable bundle. BS EN 6059-304:2017EN 6059-304:2017 (E) 5 4 Apparatus 4.1 Test chamber Method 1:
24、 the test chamber and specimen holder is described in EN 3844-1 alternatively the chamber used for Method 2 can be utilised. Method 2: this shall be a chamber measuring not less than 700 mm high 300 mm wide 300 mm deep, open at the top, open at the front and situated in a draught-free environment bu
25、t with sufficient air supply to provide normal combustion. General arrangements are shown in Figures 1 and 2. 4.2 Burner Bunsen type gas burner: the burner shall have a 6 mm inlet, a needle valve in the base for gas adjustment, a nominal bore of 9,5 mm and a barrel of approximately 100 mm above the
26、air inlets. Methane, propane or natural gas may be used provided it meets the temperature requirements of 5.2. WARNING NOTE Care should be exercised in setting up and performing this test as toxic fumes may be given off during combustion. The test chamber shall be placed in a fume cabinet that will
27、allow evacuation of gaseous products of combustion at the end of the test. 5 Methods 5.1 Method 1 Vertical test The specimen shall be hung vertically in the centre of the test cabinet. For fabrics, the direction of weave corresponding to the most critical flammability conditions must be parallel to
28、the longest dimension. Each specimen must be supported vertically. The test shall be carried out in accordance with EN 3844-1 and the flame shall be not less than 1550F (843,33 C) when measured in the centre of the flame Six separate specimens shall be tested, three with application times of 12-14 s
29、 and three with application times of 60-62 s. 5.2 Method 2 60test The specimen shall be placed at an angle of 60 with the horizontal in the test cabinet. The specimen shall be parallel to and 150 mm from the front of the chamber. The lower end of the specimen must be held rigidly. The upper end of t
30、he specimen be retained either by attaching it to a cable which is pass over a pulley to a mass or by means of a spring anchored at the top so that the specimen is held tautly throughout the flammability test. The burner shall be positioned so that hottest part of the flame is applied to the test ma
31、rk. The burner must be mounted underneath the test mark on the specimen, perpendicular to the specimen and at an angle of 30 to the vertical plane of the specimen. See Figure 2. The flame shall be adjusted to provide an overall height of approximately 76 mm with an inner cone approximately one third
32、 of the flame height. The hottest part of the flame, tip of the inner cone, is to be measured with a calibrated thermocouple pyrometer, and shall be between 950 C and 965 C. BS EN 6059-304:2017EN 6059-304:2017 (E) 6 The flame is to be applied to the specimen for 30-32 s and on removal of the flame t
33、he maximum after burn time, burn length and the maximum time of any flaming droplets shall be recorded. Burn length is the distance from the lowest to the highest points where the flame has caused partial or complete consumption and charring. Ignore any areas that are sooted, warped or discoloured a
34、nd areas where material has shrunk or melted away from the heat source.
