This standard covers complete glands as supplied
25、by the manufacturer or supplier, but not parts of cable glands. !“ This standard does not cover cable glands: for fibre optic cables; for mineral insulated cables specified in HD 586; with a gland entry portion other than metric. NOTE Certain cable glands may also be used in “Hazardous Areas”. Regar
26、d should then be taken of other or additional requirements necessary for the !enclosure“ to be installed in such conditions, for example, as specified in EN 50014. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These norm
27、ative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications as listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated ref

34、ure, and which provides sealing and retention. It may also provide other functions such as earthing, bonding, insulation, cable guarding, strain relief or a combination of these“ 3.2 size the nominal diameter of the thread or nominal outside diameter of the gland entry portion which is attached to t
35、he !enclosure“ !“ 3.3 cable an assembly consisting of: one or more cores and their individual covering(s), (if any); the assembly protection (if any); the protective covering (if any). 3.4 flexible cable a cable which is required to be capable of being flexed while in service 3.5 armoured cable cabl
36、e with a covering consisting of a metal tape(s) or wires, generally used to protect the cable from external mechanical effects 3.6 !cable retention the ability of a cable gland to limit the displacement of a fitted cable under static load“ 3.7 !cable anchorage the ability of a cable gland to limit t
37、he displacement of a fitted cable under dynamic and torque loads“ 3.8 cable guard a device which is part of a cable gland and provides additional protection when a flexible cable is subjected to excessive bending 3.9 composite cable gland a cable gland comprising of both metallic and non-metallic ma
38、terials NOTE Sealing systems are excluded from this definition. 3.10 family (of cable glands) cable glands of the same classification and design conception but which differ dimensionallyEN 50262:1998 BSI 21 February 2005 5 4 General requirements !Cable glands shall be designed to ensure the protecti
39、on of the inserted cables, flexible cables or insulated conductors in normal use.“ Where component parts are used for cable gland assemblies which are integral with the !enclosure“, the resulting assembly shall meet the requirements of this standard. 5 General conditions for tests 5.1 Tests accordin
40、g to this standard are type tests. 5.2 Unless otherwise specified, the tests shall be carried out on cable glands assembled and mounted in accordance with the manufacturers or suppliers instructions, which shall be equal to the values required in accordance with 7.3. There shall be no adjustment bet
41、ween or during the tests. !NOTE Re-mounting of the sample between tests is not considered to be an adjustment.“ 5.3 Unless otherwise specified, the tests shall be carried out at an ambient temperature of (20 5) C. 5.4 Before the tests, in accordance with Clause 9, Clause 10 and subclause 12.1, non-m
42、etallic cable glands and composite cable glands as well as the sealing systems of metallic cable glands shall be placed in an oven, in which the temperature is maintained at (70 2) C for 168 h. If the temperature declared by the manufacturer or supplier is higher than the values specified in 8.6, th
43、e conditioning shall be carried out at this maximum temperature plus 5 C. Then they shall be kept for at least 24 h at ambient temperature. 5.5 Cable glands shall be conditioned for at least 24 h at a temperature of (20 5) C and a relative humidity between 40 % and 60 %. 5.6 Unless otherwise specifi
44、ed, three samples shall be subjected to the relevant tests. In the case of a family of cable glands, three samples of the largest and smallest and one sample of all other sizes of the same family shall be subjected to the relevant tests. In the case of a cable gland utilizing alternative sealing arr
45、angements, each sealing arrangement as specified by the manufacturer or supplier shall be considered as a sample. If a sample does not satisfy a test due to an assembly or manufacturing fault, that test and any preceding one which may have influenced the results of the test, shall be repeated and al
46、so the tests which follow shall be made in the required sequence on a full set of three samples of that size, all of which shall comply with the requirements. 5.7 #Unless otherwise specified, test mandrels shall consist of a metallic rod with an elastomeric sleeving having a hardness of 65 Shore D 1
47、5 points in accordance with ISO 868, a surface roughness less than or equal to 7 4m R ain accordance with EN ISO 4287 and a sleeve thickness as specified in Table 2A or Table 3 respectively. The complete test mandrel shall have a tolerance of 0,2 mm for test mandrels up to and including 16 mm diamet
48、er and 0,3 mm for test mandrels larger than 16 mm diameter. The shape shall be circular or a profile simulating the outer dimension of the cable as declared by the manufacturer or supplier.$ #NOTE Care should be taken that the sleeve does not slip on the metallic rod during the test.$ 5.8 #Clearance holes shall have the values as given in Table 1, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer or supplier.$ # Table 1 Clearance holes for cable glands for test purposes $ Size 6 8 10 12 16 20 25 32 40 50 63 75 Thread size M6 M8 M10 M12 M16 M20 M25 M32 M40 M50 M63 M75 bClearance hole di
