ASTM D4246-14(2020)

Anotace textu normy ASTM D4246-14(2020) :

This specification covers an ozone-resistant thermoplastic elastomer insulation for electrical wire and cables. This type of insulation is considered to be suitable for continuous operation at the specified conductor temperatures and operating voltages in dry locations. The minimum installation temperature is specified. Tests shall be done on insulated wire or cable solely to determine the relevant property of the insulation material and not to test the conductor or completed cable. The insulation shall conform to the prescribed physical property requirements such as (1) tensile strength and elongation at rupture before and after air oven aging test, (2) heat distortion, and (3) thickness. AC voltage, insulation resistance, and DC voltage tests shall be performed in that order when any of these tests are specified for electrical requirements. The insulation shall not show any cracks when tested by cold bend test and shall show no cracking or surface checking after exposure to the prescribed ozone concentration.
