Electric and optical fibre cables - Test methods for non-metallic materials - Part 407: Miscellaneous tests - Measurement of mass increase of polyethylene and polypropylene compounds

IEC 60811-407:2012 gives the procedure to examine possible interaction between insulation material and filling compound of filled cable. IEC 60811-407:2012 cancels and replaces Clause 11 of IEC 60811-4-2:2004, which is withdrawn.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.

La CEI 60811-407:2012 donne la méthode pour étudier les interactions possibles entre les matériaux d'isolation et les matières de remplissage des câbles remplis. La CEI 60811-407:2012 annule et remplace l'Article 11 de la CEI 60811-4-2:2004, 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.
