IEC EN 61035-2-2 Pipe Fittings for Electrical Installations - Test of Pipe Fittings from Insulating Material

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 61035-2-2 testing. IEC EN 61035-2-2 is a specification standard that summarizes certain characteristics for pipe fittings made of insulating material used in electrical installations. These fittings are used to connect lengths of electrical conduit made of insulating material such as PVC or fiberglass reinforced plastic.

The standard covers a range of pipe fittings made of insulating material, including:

• Pipe couplings: These fittings are used to join two lengths of insulating pipe.
• Pipe connectors: These fittings are used to connect insulating pipes to electrical boxes, enclosures or other electrical equipment.
• Pipe elbows: These fittings are used to change the direction of an insulator pipeline, typically by 90 degrees.
• Duct nipples: These fittings are short insulating pipes used to extend the length of a pipeline.
• Pipe bushings: These fittings are used to protect the end of an insulating pipeline from damage and reduce the risk of sharp edges.
• The standard specifies the design, dimensions, materials and performance requirements for these fittings. For example, it specifies the minimum wall thickness and bend radius for duct bends made of insulating material.

The standard also includes requirements for testing and certification of insulating pipe fittings. Manufacturers must perform a variety of tests, including testing for durability, durability, and resistance to high temperatures and chemical exposure, to demonstrate that the fittings meet the requirements of the standard.

Insulation pipe fittings, in accordance with the requirements of IEC EN 61035-2-2, can help ensure safe and reliable electrical installations, especially in environments where conductive materials are not suitable due to the risk of electric shock or corrosion.
