25、bustion of materials from cables: Part 1: Determination of the halogen acid gas content Part 2: Determination of acidity (by pH measurement) and conductivity. IEC 60754-2 was originally developed due to concerns expressed by cable users over the amount of acid gas evolved when some cable insulating,
26、 sheathing and other materials are burned, as such corrosive effluent can cause extensive damage to electrical and electronic equipment not involved in the fire itself. NOTE Guidance on the corrosivity of fire effluent is given in IEC 60695-5-1. This standard provides a method for determining the ac
27、idity (by pH measurement) and conductivity of an aqueous solution of gases evolved during the combustion of materials so that limits can be agreed for cable specifications. As the test is not carried out on a complete cable test piece, for a hazard assessment the actual material volumes of the cable
28、 components should be taken into consideration. The method provides an indirect assessment of corrosivity. However, the recommended limits of pH and conductivity can only be regarded as an indication, as the relationship between corrosion and these two parameters does not necessarily embrace all mat
29、erials. This part of IEC 60754 is linked with IEC 60754-1, but the test procedure differs considerably. BS EN 60754-2:201460754-2 IEC:2011 7 TEST ON GASES EVOLVED DURING COMBUSTION OF MATERIALS FROM CABLES Part 2: Determination of acidity (by pH measurement) and conductivity 1 Scope This part of IEC
30、 60754 specifies the apparatus and procedure for the determination of the potential corrosivity of gases evolved during the combustion of materials taken from electric or optical fibre cable constructions by measuring the acidity (pH) and conductivity of an aqueous solution resulting from the gases
31、evolved during the combustion. The general method specified in this standard is intended for the testing of individual components used in a cable construction. Formulae are given for the calculation of a weighted value for a combination of materials found in a specified cable. The use of this method
32、 will enable the verification of relevant requirements for either individual components or combined components of a cable construction stated in the appropriate cable specification. A simplified method is included for the testing of individual components where it is required only to demonstrate comp
33、liance with a stated performance requirement for quality control purposes. NOTE 1 The relevant cable standard should indicate which components of the cable should be tested, and which method of calculation (see Clause 8) should be used in the case of dispute. NOTE 2 This test method may be used to t
34、est materials to be used in cable manufacture, but a declaration of cable performance should not be made based on such a test. NOTE 3 For the purposes of this standard, the term “electric cable” covers all insulated metallic conductor cables used for the conveyance of energy or signals. 2 Normative

38、ethod principle The material under test shall be heated in a stream of dry air. The evolved gases shall be trapped by bubbling through wash bottles filled with distilled or demineralized water. The acidity of the resulting solution shall be assessed by determination of its pH value. The conductivity
39、 of the solution shall also be determined. 5 Test apparatus 5.1 General The apparatus is shown in Figures 1 to 5. The assembly of the components which constitute the test apparatus shall be leak-tight. The connecting distances between the quartz glass tube and the first bottle and between subsequent
40、 bottles shall be as short as possible. Glass or silicone rubber tubing shall be used for these connections. NOTE 1 At the exit side of the quartz glass tube, as close to the end as possible, it is permitted to place a plug of silica wool to aid collection of condensates. NOTE 2 A third empty bottle
41、, of the same size as the gas washing bottles, placed before the gas washing bottles may be used to improve safety, i.e. to prevent suck back of water into the quartz glass tube. 5.2 Tube furnace The length of the heating zone of the furnace shall be within the range 480 mm to 620 mm and its inside
42、diameter shall be within the range 38 mm to 62 mm. It shall be equipped with an adjustable electrical heating system. 5.3 Quartz glass tube For the test, a quartz glass tube shall be introduced into the tube furnace. The tube shall be approximately concentric to the furnace. It shall be resistant to
43、 the action of corrosive gases. The inside diameter of the tube shall be within the range 30 mm to 46 mm. The tube shall protrude on the entrance side of the furnace by a length of between 60 mm to 200 mm, and on the exit side by between 60 mm to 100 mm. The initial clearance shall allow for thermal
44、 expansion. For the purposes of measurement of the protrusion distances, the tube shall be regarded as that part of essentially constant diameter. NOTE The outer diameter of the tube should be chosen with due regard to the inside diameter of the tube furnace. Prior to each test the tube shall be cle
45、aned throughout its length by being calcined at approximately 950 C. 5.4 Combustion boats The combustion boat shall be made of porcelain, fused quartz or soapstone and shall have the following dimensions: external length: within the range 45 mm to 100 mm; BS EN 60754-2:201460754-2 IEC:2011 9 externa
46、l width: within the range 12 mm to 30 mm; internal depth: within the range 5 mm to 10 mm. NOTE The dimensions of the boat should be chosen with due regard to the inside diameter of the quartz tube. The preferred method for insertion of the combustion boat into the quartz glass tube is shown in Figur
47、e 1. Prior to each test, the combustion boat shall be washed and calcined in a muffle furnace at approximately 950 C for 4 h after which it shall be introduced into a desiccator and cooled to ambient temperature. The combustion boat shall then be weighed to an accuracy of 0,1 mg until two identical
48、consecutive weights are obtained. This weight m1shall be recorded. 5.5 Bubbling devices for gases At the exit of the quartz glass tube, the evolved gases shall be trapped by bubbling through two wash bottles (see Figure 2), each containing approximately 450 ml of distilled or demineralized water of
49、a purity at least Grade 3 in accordance with ISO 3696. The pH value of the water shall be between 5,5 and 7,5, and the conductivity less than 0,5 S/mm. A magnetic stirrer shall be introduced in the first gas washing bottle to get a good swirling motion and an effective absorbtion of the combustion gases. The tubes into the wash bottles shall have a maximum internal diameter at their tip of 5 mm in order to aid absorption. The height of the liquid above the end of the tube shall be (110 1
