21、/ICEA T-26-465-2013 Page 1 Copyright 2013 by National Electrical Manufacturers Association and the Insulated Cable Engineers Association, Incorporated Section 1 GENERAL 1.1 Scope This guide provides a combination of plans for the frequencies at which cable samples may be obtained for tests to determ
22、ine conformance to the appropriate requirements of ICEA Standards Publications. Valid statistical sampling frequencies other than those listed herein are acceptable if evidence of statistical control can be demonstrated. This guide applies only to extruded dielectric power, control, instrumentation,
23、 and portable cables. This guide does not apply to those requirements to which each production or shipping length of completed cable must comply as specified in the applicable ICEA Standards. 1.2 Definitions The following definitions apply to this guide. sample: A piece or section of cable taken fro
24、m a production or shipping length or small quantity taken from a lot of material before application to the cable. specimen: A test unit prepared from a sample. sampling plan: A procedure for taking samples as a function of the number of production or shipping lengths or reels or quantity of cable. (
25、The twelve sampling plans used in this ICEA guide are shown in Section 2.) lot: A quantity of cable or material produced at the same location under the same manufacturing conditions during the same time period. metric conversion: To convert feet to meters, multiply by 0.305. To convert kcmil to squa
26、re millimeters, multiply by 0.507. To convert inches to millimeters, multiply by 25.4.ANSI/NEMA WC 54/ICEA T-26-465-2013 Page 2 Copyright 2013 by National Electrical Manufacturers Association and the Insulated Cable Engineers Association, Incorporated Section 2 SAMPLES 2.1 Selection of Samples 2.1.1
27、 Sample for Tests on Cable or Specimens from Cable Each cable sample shall be taken from an accessible end of different coils or reels. Each sample shall be traceable to the coil or reel from which it was selected. 2.1.2 Samples for Tests on Conducting Materials Intended for Extrusion One sample of
28、material for each specified test shall be molded from each lot of material intended for extrusion on cable. 2.1.3 Sample Plans for Other Tests A sampling plan for other tests specified in an ICEA Standards Publication shall be selected in accordance with Section 3. 2.2 Sample Conformance If all of t
29、he samples pass the test specified in a standard, the quantity of cable that they represent shall be considered as meeting the requirements of that standard. 2.3 Resampling If any sample fails to pass a test specified in a standard, the length of cable from which the sample was taken shall be consid
30、ered as not meeting the requirements of that standard and another sample shall be taken from each of two other lengths of cable in the quantity of cable under test. If either of the second samples fail to pass the test, the quantity of cable shall be considered as not meeting the requirements of tha
31、t standard. If both such second samples pass the test, the quantity of cable (except the length represented by the first sample) shall be considered as meeting the requirements of the standard. Failure of any sample shall not preclude resampling and retesting the length of cable from which the origi
32、nal sample was taken.
