Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 For definitions pertaining to electrical insulation, referto Terminology D1711.3.1.2 For definitions pertaining to fire standards, refer toTerminology E176.3.1.3 heat-shrinkable tubing, ntubing that will reduce indiameter from an expanded size to a predetermin

17、ed size by theapplication of heat.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 brittleness temperature, nthe temperature at which50 % of the specimens fail when the specified number aretested using the apparatus and conditions specified.3.2.2 concentricity, nthe ratio expressed in percen

18、t of theminimum wall thickness to the maximum wall thickness.3.2.3 longitudinal change, nthe change in length, eitherpositive or negative, that occurs when the tubing is allowed tofreely recover at the recommended recovery temperature,expressed as a percentage of the as supplied or expandedlength.3.

19、2.4 low-temperature flexibility, nthe resistance to crack-ing of tubing when wrapped around prescribed mandrels atspecified temperatures.3.2.5 restricted shrinkage, nshrinkage of the tubing at aprescribed temperature over a specially designed mandrelwhose smallest diameter is greater than the fully

20、shrunk sizeand whose largest diameter is less than the expanded size of thetubing.3.2.6 storage-life, heat-shrinkable tubing, nthe length oftime that the tubing will retain its specified expanded andrecovered dimensions under storage at a specified temperature.4. Significance and Use4.1 These test m

21、ethods include most of the important testsused to characterize heat-shrinkable tubing. They are intendedprimarily for, but not limited to, extruded heat-shrinkabletubing.4.2 Variations in these test methods or alternate contempo-rary methods of measurement may be used to determine thevalues for the

22、properties in this standard provided suchmethods ensure quality levels and measurement accuracy equalto or better than those prescribed herein. It is the responsibilityof the organizations using alternate test methods to be able todemonstrate this condition. In cases of dispute, the methodsspecified

23、 herein shall be used.NOTE 2Provision for alternate methods is necessary because of (1)the desire to simplify procedures for specific applications without alteringthe result, and (2) the desire to eliminate redundant testing and use datagenerated during manufacturing process control, including that

24、generatedunder Statistical Process Control (SPC) conditions, using equipment andmethods other than those specified herein. An example would be the useof laser micrometers or optical comparators to measure dimensions.5. Hazards5.1 Warning Lethal voltages may be present during thistest. It is essentia

25、l that the test apparatus, and all associatedequipment that may be electrically connected to it, be properlydesigned and installed for safe operation. Solidly ground allelectrically conductive parts that any person might come incontact with during the test. Provide means for use at thecompletion of

26、any test to ground any parts which: were at highvoltage during the test; may have acquired an induced chargeduring the test; may retain a charge even after disconnection ofthe voltage source. Thoroughly instruct all operators in theproper way to conduct tests safely. When making high voltagetests, p

27、articularly in compressed gas or in oil, the energyreleased at breakdown may be suffcient to result in fire,explosion, or rupture of the test chamber. Design test equip-ment, test chambers, and test specimens so as to minimize thepossibility of such occurrences and to eliminate the possibilityof per

28、sonal injury. (See Section 23.)5.2 Flammable Solvents:5.2.1 Methyl ethyl ketone is a volatile, flammable solvent. Itshould be handled in an area having good ventilation, such asa laboratory hood and away from sources of ignition. SeeSection 100.6. Selection of Test Specimens6.1 Select a sufficient n

29、umber of pieces of tubing in suchmanner as to be representative of the shipment.6.2 Cut specimens, free of kinks, from the sample selectedunder 6.1. Cut perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of thetubing and in such manner that the specimen has cleanly cutsquare edges.6.3 Unless otherwise stated, t

Significance and Use8.1 Inside DiameterThe inside diameter of tubing beforeand after heat-shrinking is an important factor in selectingtubing of the proper size to slip easily over an object and toconform tightly after shrinkage.8.2 Wall ThicknessWall thickness measurements a

33、I), 25 W. 43rd St.,4th Floor, New York, NY 10036, http:/www.ansi.org.D2671 0928.3 ConcentricityA thin wall area, due to variation inprocessing, may lead to equipment failure. It is important,therefore, both in extrusion of the tubing, and its expansionprior to shrinkage in end-use, that concentricit

34、y be held abovea specified limit to ensure proper performance of the tubing.8.4 LengthThe length, both before and after heat-shrinking, is important in the determination of proper fit of thetubing in end-use.9. Apparatus9.1 MandrelsA series of steel rods suitable for insertioninto the tubing includi

35、ng the tapered gages described underTest Methods D876, may be used.9.2 Micrometers, mandrel anvil and indicator set accurate toat least 0.001 in. or 0.02 mm.9.3 Steel Scale, graduated in164-in. or 0.5-mm divisions.9.4 Oven, forced-convection type, capable of maintainingtemperature to within 6 5 C.10

36、. Test Specimens10.1 Cut three straight lengths of expanded tubing, each 6in. (150 mm) long, from the sample as directed in 6.2 for eachtest performed.11. Procedure11.1 Measuring Inside Diameter:11.1.1 Select a mandrel that will just fit into the specimenand insert the mandrel into the expanded tubi

37、ng for a distanceof 1 in. (25 mm).NOTE 3Should the tubing specimens tend to adhere to the mandrelsduring measurement of diameter, the mandrels may be coated with wateror talc as a lubricant. However, caution must be exercised not to force thetubing on the mandrel, thereby stretching the specimens.11

38、.1.2 Using a machinists micrometer, measure the outsidediameter of the mandrel to the nearest 0.001 in. (0.02 mm).Record this as the expanded inside diameter.11.1.3 Place the specimen in an oven at the temperaturespecified as suitable for complete shrinkage for a period of timerecommended for shrink

39、age. Make provision for positioningthe specimen horizontally in the oven so that recovery can beeffected without restriction. If the tubing tends to becomesticky at the shrinkage temperature, specimens can be laid intrays that have been powdered slightly with talc.11.1.4 At the end of the specified

40、shrinkage time, removethe specimens from the oven and allow to cool to roomtemperature. Measure the inside diameter as described in11.1.1 and 11.1.2, recording this as the recovered insidediameter.11.2 Measuring Wall Thickness:11.2.1 Measure the wall thickness of the expanded (assupplied) tubing usi

41、ng a micrometer. By means of a sufficientnumber of tests, locate the points on the wall corresponding tothe minimum and the maximum wall thickness, and recordthese measurements to the nearest 0.001 in. (0.02 mm).11.2.2 Allow the specimens to recover under heat as de-scribed in 11.1.3 and 11.1.4. Mea

42、sure the wall thickness asdescribed in 11.2.1 recording these as the recovered thick-nesses.11.3 Calculating ConcentricityFrom measurements ofminimum and maximum wall thickness made in accordancewith 11.2.1 and 11.2.2, calculate the concentricity (C) of theexpanded and recovered tubing respectively,

43、 using the follow-ing equation:C 5 100 M9/M8! (1)where:M8 = maximum thickness, in. (mm), andM 9 = minimum thickness, in. (mm).11.4 Measuring Length:11.4.1 Using the steel scale, measure the length to thenearest132 in. or 1 mm.11.4.2 Allow the specimens to recover under heat as de-scribed in 11.1.3 a

44、nd 11.1.4. Measure the length after recovery.Record the length in the expanded and recovered state.11.5 Calculating Longitudinal Change From the mea-surements of expanded and recovered length made in accor-dance with 11.4.1 and 11.4.2, calculate the percent longitudinalchange using the following equ

45、ation:Percent longitudinal change 5 100 L8 2 L9!/L9 (2)where:L8 = recovered length, in. (mm), andL9 = expanded length, in. (mm).12.

Precision and Bias13.1 The overall estimates of the precision within laborato-ries, (Sr) j, and the precision between laboratories, (Sr)j, aregiven in Table 1 for four selected materials.

48、These estimates arebased on a round robin of three specimens, each run in sixlaboratories.5No bias statement can be made due to the lack ofa standard reference material.RESTRICTED SHRINKAGE14.
