IEC 60811-409 Electrical and Fiber Optic Cables - Non-Metallic Materials - Mass Loss Test for Thermoplastic Insulations and Sheaths

This part of IEC 60811-409 gives the procedure for measuring mass loss normally applicable to PVC insulations and sheaths.

IEC 60811-409 Electrical and Fiber Optic Cables - Non-Metallic Materials - Mass Loss Test for Thermoplastic Insulations and Sheaths

This part of IEC 60811 will be used in conjunction with IEC 60811-100. Unless otherwise stated, all test procedures should be performed at room temperature, except for the time in the aging oven.

An oven with natural air flow or compressed air flow. Air must enter the furnace to flow from the surface of the test pieces and exit near the top of the furnace. The furnace shall not have less than 60811 and more than 401 full air changes per hour at the specified aging temperature as described in IEC 8-20. In case of disagreement, a natural air circulation oven will be used.

Test equipment will consist of:

  • Rotary fan will not be used inside the oven;
  • Analytical balance with an accuracy of 0,1 mg;
  • punching dies for dumbbell test pieces;
  • A desiccant with silica gel or similar material.

Prepared test pieces should be placed in a desiccator for at least 20 hours at ambient temperature. Immediately after removal from the desiccator, each test piece shall be weighed precisely to one decimal place, in milligrams.
