29、cluding cables used on ships ?and in offshore applications?. This Section 2 of Part 1 gives the thermal ageing methods which apply to the most common types of insulating and sheathing compounds (elastomeric, PVC, PE, PP, etc.). 2 Test values Full test conditions (such as temperatures, durations, etc
30、.) and full test requirements are not specified in this standard; it is intended that they should be specified by the standard dealing with the relevant type of cable. Any test requirements which are given in this standard may be modified by the relevant cable standard to suit the needs of a particu
31、lar type of cable. 3 Applicability Conditioning values and testing parameters are specified for the most common types of insulating and sheathing compounds and of cables, wires and cords. 4 Type tests and other tests The test methods described in this standard are intended, in the first instance, to
32、 be used for type tests. In certain tests, where there are essential differences between the conditions for type tests and those for more frequent tests, such as routine tests, these differences are indicated. 5 Pre-conditioning All the tests shall be carried out not less than 16 h after the extrusi
33、on or vulcanization (or cross-linking), if any, of the insulating or sheathing compounds. 6 Test temperature Unless otherwise specified, tests shall be carried out at room temperature. 7 Median value When several test results have been obtained and ordered in an increasing or decreasing succession,
34、the median value is the middle value if the number of available values is odd, and is the mean of the two middle values if the number is even. 8 Thermal ageing methods 8.1 Ageing in an air oven 8.1.1 General An ageing treatment in an air oven may be required by the relevant cable standard: a) for pr
35、epared test pieces of insulating or sheathing material only (see 8.1.3.1); b) for prepared test pieces of cores (conductor and insulation) (see 8.1.3.2 and subsequent subclauses if necessary); c) for test pieces of completed cable (see 8.1.4); d) for the loss of mass test (see IEC Publication 811-3-
36、2, Clause 8). The ageing test a) and the loss of mass test d) may be combined and carried out on the same test pieces. 8.1.2 Equipment An oven with natural air flow or air flow by pressure. The air shall enter the oven in such a way that it flows over the surface of the test pieces and leaves near t
37、he top of the oven. The oven shall have not less than 8 and not more than 20 complete air changes per hour at the specified ageing temperature. Two methods of measuring the rate of air flow through an oven are given in 8.4. EN 60811-1-2:1995 4 BSI 12 April 2002 ?Unless otherwise specified in the rel
38、evant cable specification a rotating fan inside the oven is allowed when testing rubber compounds. For all other compounds a fan shall not be used inside the oven, and in cases of dispute rubber compounds shall also be tested in an oven which is designed to operate without a fan rotating inside it.?
39、 8.1.3 Procedure for prepared test pieces 8.1.3.1 Ageing of prepared test pieces of insulating material without conductor and of sheathing material The ageing shall be carried out in an atmosphere having the composition and pressure of the ambient air. The test pieces, as specified in Clause 9 of IE
40、C Publication 811-1-1 shall be suspended vertically and substantially in the middle of the oven so that each piece is at least 20 mm from any other piece. If any of the test pieces are to be used for the loss of mass test, the test piece shall not occupy more than 0,5 % of the volume of the oven. Th
41、e test pieces shall be kept in the oven at the temperature and for the time specified for the material in the relevant standard for the type of cable. ?Compounds of obviously different compositions shall not be tested at the same time in the same oven.? As soon as the ageing period is completed, the
42、 test pieces shall be removed from the oven and left at ambient temperature, avoiding direct sunlight, for at least 16 h. The tensile test shall then be carried out in accordance with 9.1.6 and 9.1.7 of IEC Publication 811-1-1 for both insulation and sheath. 8.1.3.2 Ageing of prepared test pieces of
43、 cores with the original conductor a) ?If, after ageing, the conductor and the separator, if any, can be removed without damaging the insulation, the procedure shall be as follows: samples of core, cut into pieces which are sufficiently long, shall be taken, preferably from positions close to that f
44、rom which the samples for the tensile tests without ageing are taken in accordance with 9.1.3 of IEC 60811-1-1. They shall then be aged as described in 8.1.3.1, after which the conductor shall be removed and the cross-sectional area of the test pieces shall be determined according to 9.1.4b) of IEC
45、60811-1-1. The tensile test shall then be carried out in accordance with 9.1.7 of IEC 60811-1-1. b) If it is not possible to remove the conductor or the separator, if any, after the ageing procedure without damaging the insulation, the appropriate preparation and test method shall be applied as give

47、ves rise to adhesion problems, see 8.1.3.4. Ageing followed by the bending test is considered the acceptance procedure in case of dispute Class 1: metal coated or with a separator around the conductor See 8.1.3.4 Class 2: circular conductors up to and including 16 mm2 and having plain or metal coate

49、ate See 8.1.3.3b) or if this method also gives rise to adhesion problems, see 8.1.3.4. Ageing followed by the bending test is considered the acceptance procedure in case of dispute Classes 5 and 6: conductors above 16 mm2 having plain or metal-coated wires See 8.1.3.5 NOTEIn the cases of the bending test (8.1.3.4), ageing conditions may be different from those requiring the determination of tensile properties (8.1.3.2 and 8.1.3.3); see the relevant cable standard.
