(Main)Optical fibres - Part 1-34: Measurement methods and test procedures - Fibre curl
Optical fibres - Part 1-34: Measurement methods and test procedures - Fibre curl
IEC 60793-1-34:2021 establishes uniform requirements for the mechanical characteristic: fibre curl or latent curvature in uncoated optical fibres, i.e. a specified length of the fibre has been stripped from coating. Fibre curl has been identified as an important parameter for minimizing the splice loss of optical fibres when using passive alignment fusion splicers or active alignment mass fusion splicers.Two methods are recognized for the measurement of fibre curl, in uncoated optical fibres:
- method A: side view microscopy;
- method B: laser beam scattering.
Both methods measure the radius of curvature of an uncoated fibre by determining the amount of deflection that occurs as an unsupported fibre end is rotated about the fibre's axis. Method A uses visual or digital video methods to determine the deflection of the fibre while method B uses a line sensor to measure the maximum deflection of one laser beam relative to a reference laser beam. By measuring the deflection behaviour of the fibre as it is rotated about its axis and understanding the geometry of the measuring device, the fibre's radius of curvature can be calculated from simple circular models, the derivation of which are given in Annex C. Both methods are applicable to type B optical fibres as described in IEC 60793 (all parts). Method A is the reference test method, used to resolve disputes. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2006. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- modification of several derivation equations for laser scattering;
- change of angular increment from 10° to 30° to 10° to 45°;
- change of Annex B from informative to normative.
Fibres optiques - Partie 1-34: Méthodes de mesure et procédures d'essai - Ondulation de la fibre
L'IEC 60793-1-34:2021 établit des exigences uniformes pour les caractéristiques mécaniques: ondulation de fibre ou courbure latente des fibres optiques sans revêtement, c'est-à-dire qu'une longueur spécifiée de la fibre a été dénudée. L'ondulation de fibre a été définie comme étant un paramètre important de réduction des pertes d'épissure des fibres optiques lors de l'utilisation de soudeuses par fusion avec alignement passif ou de soudeuses par fusion de masse avec alignement actif. Deux méthodes sont reconnues pour la mesure de l'ondulation de fibre, pour les fibres optiques sans revêtement:
- méthode A: par microscopie latérale;
- méthode B: par diffusion d'un faisceau laser.
Les deux méthodes mesurent le rayon de courbure d'une fibre sans revêtement en déterminant la valeur de la flèche d'une extrémité de fibre non soutenue soumise à une rotation autour de son axe. La méthode A utilise des méthodes visuelles ou vidéo numériques pour déterminer la flèche de la fibre tandis que la méthode B utilise un capteur de ligne pour mesurer la flèche maximale d’un faisceau laser par rapport à un faisceau laser de référence. En mesurant le comportement de la flèche de la fibre pendant qu’elle est soumise à une rotation autour de son axe et d’après la configuration du dispositif de mesure, le rayon de courbure de la fibre peut être calculé à partir de modèles circulaires simples, déterminés à l’Annexe C. Ces deux méthodes sont applicables aux fibres optiques du type B telles que décrites dans la série IEC 60793 (toutes les parties). La méthode A est la méthode d'essai de référence, utilisée en cas de litige. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2006. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- modification de plusieurs équations de détermination pour la diffusion laser;
- modification de l'incrément angulaire qui passe de 10° à 30° à 10° à 45°;
- changement de statut de l'Annexe B qui devient normative.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This redline version of the official IEC Standard allows the user to identify the changes
made to the previous edition IEC 60793-1-34:2006. A vertical bar appears in the margin
wherever a change has been made. Additions are in green text, deletions are in
strikethrough red text.
International Standard IEC 60793-1-34 has been prepared by subcommittee 86A: Fibres and
cables, of IEC technical committee 86: Fibre optics.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2006. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) modification of several derivation equations for laser scattering;
