Electric and optical fibre cables - Test methods for non-metallic materials - Part 406: Miscellaneous tests - Resistance to stress cracking of polyethylene and polypropylene compounds

IEC 60811-406:2012 gives the procedure for evaluating the resistance to stress cracking of polyethylene and polypropylene compounds which are typically used for communication and optical fibre cables. IEC 60811-406:2012 cancels and replaces Clause 8 of IEC 60811-4-1:2004, which is withdrawn. Full details of the replacements are shown in Annex A of IEC 60811-100:2012. There are no specific technical changes with respect to the previous edition, but see 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 406: Essais divers - Résistance des mélanges polyéthylène et polypropylène aux craquelures

La CEI 60811-406:2012 décrit la procédure à suivre pour évaluer la résistance des mélanges polyéthylène et polypropylène aux craquelures. Ces mélanges sont généralement utilisés pour les câbles de communication et les câbles à fibres optiques. La CEI 60811-406:2012 annule et remplace l'Article 8 de la CEI 60811-4-1:2004, qui est supprimée. L'ensemble des informations relatives aux remplacements figure dans l'Annexe A de la CEI 60811-100:2012. Aucune modification technique n'a été effectuée par rapport à l'édition précédente; voir cependant l'avant-propos de la CEI 60811-100:2012. Cette publication doit être lue conjointement avec la CEI 60811-100:2012.
