BS EN 50289-3-8:2013EN 50289-3-8:2013 - 4 - 1 Scope This European Standard details the method of test to determine the ability of the sheath markings of a finished cable used in analogue and digital communication
20、 systems to withstand abrasion. It will be read in conjunction with EN 50289-3-1, which contains essential provisions for its application. Depending on the kind of marking and as indicated in the relevant cable specification, one of the following two methods will be used: - Method 1: is suitable for
21、 rigid marking types like embossing, indenting and sintering; - Method 2: is applicable to marking types other than embossing, indenting and sintering. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its appli
22、cation. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

23、-2, Communication cables Part 1-2: Definitions 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions of EN 50290-1-2 apply. 4 Test method 4.1 Equipment 4.1.1 Method 1 The abrasion test rig consists of a device designed to abrade the surface of the cable in both directi
24、ons parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cable over a length of 40 1 mm at a frequency of 55 5 cycles/min. One cycle consists of one abrading edge movement in each direction. The abrading edge shall be a steel needle with a diameter of 1,0 mm or as specified in the detail specification A typical
25、 apparatus is shown in Figure 1. 4.1.2 Method 2 The apparatus follows the intent of that specified in Method 1, with the needle replaced by a wiping felt. These changes are made in the apparatus: a) a test set-up, to apply a force to the wool felt; a typical example is shown in Figure 2; b) a wool f
26、elt, colour white; NOTE Common felts are a blend of wool and other fibres, commonly rayon. Blends from 100% to 30% wool, or as specified by the relevant specification, meet the intent of this method. c) masses to apply a force to the sample; d) the apparatus shall allow a stroke length of 100 mm at
27、a frequency of 6 to 12 cycles/min. 4.2 Test sample The sample shall be of a length sufficient to carry out the test specified. A typical length is 750 mm. BS EN 50289-3-8:2013- 5 - EN 50289-3-8:2013 4.3 Procedure 4.3.1 Method 1 Carry out the test with the sample mounted so that the marking is direct
28、ly under the abrading edge. Load the abrading edge with the mass necessary to provide the 4N force specified in the relevant cable specification whilst avoiding shock on the cable. a) Unless otherwise specified, the conditions for testing shall be in accordance with standard atmospheric conditions,
29、as defined in EN 50289-3-1. b) Securely attach the cable sample to the supporting plate by means of cable clamps. The abrading edge shall be loaded with 4 N whilst avoiding shock to the cable. The initial position shall be such that there is length available for the subsequent movement of the sample
30、, per c) below. c) Carry out the test with the sample mounted so that the marking is directly under the abrading edge. Four tests shall be made on each sample. 4.3.2 Method 2 A sample of cable containing markings shall be laid between the two parts of the wool felt or between the wool felt and a sup
31、porting surface. In either case, the wool felt shall wipe the printed section of the cable. The wool felt shall be thoroughly impregnated with water. The normal force (F) of 5 N (or as given in the detail specification) shall be applied to the markings on the sample which is moved back and forth ove
32、r a length of 100 mm. Unless otherwise specified in the relevant detail specification, the number of cycles shall be 50. 4.4 Requirements The marking shall be legible at the completion of the test after the number of cycles specified in the relevant cable specification.
