EN 60811-508:2012

Electric and optical fibre cables - Test methods for non-metallic materials - Part 508: Mechanical tests - Pressure test at high temperature for insulation and sheaths

IEC 60811-508:2012 gives the procedure for a pressure test at high temperature, which typically applies to thermoplastic compounds used for insulating and sheathing materials. IEC 60811-508:2012 cancels and replaces Clause 8 of IEC 60811-3-1:1985, which is withdrawn. Full details of the replacements are shown in Annex A of IEC 60811-100:2012. Significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows: - re-statement of oven characteristics, especially relating to anti-vibration and to temperature control; - enhanced detail as to the preparations and testing of flat cables; - enhanced detail as to thickness and dimensional measurements. See also the Foreword to IEC 60811-100:2012. This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60811-100:2012.

Câbles électriques et à fibres optiques - Méthodes d'essai pour les matériaux non-métalliques - Partie 508: Essais mécaniques - Essai de pression à température élevée pour enveloppes isolantes et les gaines

La CEI 60811-508:2012 décrit la procédure à suivre pour réaliser l'essai de pression à température élevée, généralement applicable aux mélanges thermoplastiques utilisés pour les matériaux d'isolation et de gainage. La CEI 60811-508:2012 annule et remplace l'Article 8 de la CEI 60811-3-1:1985, qui est supprimée. L'ensemble des détails relatifs aux remplacements figure dans l'Annexe A de la CEI 60811-100:2012. Des modifications techniques importantes ont été effectuées par rapport à l'édition précédente, comme suit: - redéfinition des caractéristiques relatives à l'étuve, en particulier les caractéristiques antivibratoires et le contrôle de la température; - des détails supplémentaires relatifs aux préparations et aux essais de câbles méplats; - des détails supplémentaires relatifs aux mesures d'épaisseur et de dimensions.
