Foreword The Standards Publication has been prepared by the Electrical Tubing and Sleeving Section of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association and is intended primarily to establish test methods and performance characteristics
21、for flexible coated sleeving used for electrical insulation. These standards have been developed and revised over a period of years in close coordination with user needs. In addition, this Standards Publication has been closely coordinated with parallel standards writing efforts going on in Subcommi
22、ttee 15C of the International Electro-Technical Commission, ASTM, NAVSEA, and UL. This Standards Publication which was developed by the Electrical Tubing and Sleeving Section is reviewed periodically for any revisions that may be necessary to keep them up to date with advanced technology. Proposed o
23、r recommended revisions should be submitted to: Vice President, Technical Services Department National Electrical Manufacturers Association 1300 North 17th Street, Suite 1847 Rosslyn, Virginia 22209 This Standards Publication was developed by the Tubing and Sleeving Section.

31、 sleeving: A flexible, tubular product woven from cotton, rayon, nylon, glass or other fibers which is impregnated, coated, or impregnated and coated with an electrical insulating material. dielectric breakdown voltage: The voltage which an insulating material can withstand before breakdown occurs,
32、usually expressed in volts (ac, rms). Also known as puncture voltage. elastomer: A material which returns rapidly to approximately its initial state after substantial deformation by a stress and release of that stress. temperature index: A numerical value which indicates the continuous-duty use temp
33、erature of an insulating material. This value is determined by long-range heat-aging of test specimens under controlled conditions. In the case of coated sleeving, this corresponds to the temperature in degrees Celsius at which the material will retain 50% of its dielectric breakdown voltage after 2
34、0,000 hr exposure at that temperature. TF 1-1993 (R2000, R2005) Page 2 Copyright 2005 by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association. thermoplastic: A material capable of being repeatedly softened by heating and hardened by cooling through a temperature range characteristic of the material, an
35、d in the softened state, capable of being repeatedly shaped by flow. thermoset: A material which changes into a substantially infusible and insoluble product when cured by heat, radiation, catalysts, or other means, possibly in combination.
