3.0 Requirements
3.1 Material
The tubing shall be fabricated from a stabilized, flame resistant, modified Chlorinated Polyolefin and shall
be radiation crosslinked. It shall be homogeneous and essentially free from flaws, defects, pinholes,
bubbles, seams, cracks and inclusions.
3.2 Color
The tubing shall be black.
3.3 Properties
The tubing shall meet the requirements of Table 3.

4.0 Quality Assurance Provisions
4.1 Classification of Tests
4.1.1 Qualification Tests
Qualification tests are those performed on tubing submitted for qualification as a satisfactory product and
shall consist of all tests listed in this specification.
4.1.2 Acceptance Tests
Acceptance tests are those performed on tubing submitted for acceptance under contract. Acceptance tests
shall consist of the following:
Dimensions
Longitudinal Change
Tensile Strength
Tensile Stress
Ultimate Elongation
Heat Shock
Flammability
Low Temperature Flexibility
Physical property tests performed at this time qualify subsequent sleeving lots produced from the same
batch of compound. Statistical process control data may be used to demonstrate conformance for
dimensions.
4.2 Sampling Instructions
4.2.1 Qualification Test Samples
Qualification test samples shall consist of 50 feet (15 m) of tubing of each size. Qualification of any size
within each size range specified below will qualify all sizes in the same range.
Size Range
1/8 through 7/8
1 through 4
4.2.2 Acceptance Test Samples
Acceptance test samples shall consist of not less than 16 feet (5 m) of tubing selected at random from each
lot. A lot shall consist of all tubing of the same size, from the same production run and offered for
inspection at the same time.
4.3 Test Procedures
Unless otherwise specified, tests shall be performed on specimens which have been fully recovered by
conditioning for 10 minutes in a 175 ± 5°C (347 ± 9°F) oven. All ovens shall be of the mechanical
convection type in which air passes over the specimens at a velocity of 100 to 200 feet (30 to 61 m) per
minute. Tubing shall be allowed to cool to room temperature prior to testing. The Heat Shrinkable
Sleeving and Measurement Gages shall be at room temperature with ambient relative humidity prior to
testing before or after heat shrinking.

4.3.1 Dimensions and Longitudinal Change
Three 6 inch (150 mm) specimens of tubing, as supplied, shall be measured for length ± 1/32 inch
(± 1 mm) and inside diameter in accordance with ASTM D2671, conditioned for 10 minutes in a
175 ± 5°C (347 ± 9°F) oven, cooled to 23 ± 3°C (73 ± 5°F) and then re-measured. Prior to and after
conditioning, the dimensions of the tubing shall be in accordance with Table 1 and the longitudinal change
shall be in accordance with Table 3. Longitudinal change shall be calculated as follows:
C =
L
1
- L
0
L
0
x 100
Where: C = Longitudinal Change [Percent]
L
0
= Length Before Conditioning [inches (mm)]
L
1
= Length After Conditioning [inches (mm)]
4.3.2 Tensile Strength, Tensile Stress and Ultimate Elongation
Test three specimens of tubing for tensile strength and ultimate elongation in accordance with
ASTM D2671 and for tensile stress in accordance with ASTM D412.
The rate of jaw separation shall be 20 ± 2 inches (500 ± 50 mm) per minute.
4.3.3 Copper Stability
Three 6 inch (150 mm) specimens of tubing shall be slid over snug fitting, straight, clean, bare copper
mandrels, either solid or tubular. The specimens on the mandrels shall be conditioned for 24 hours in a
desiccator or similar humidity chamber at 90 to 95 percent relative humidity and 25 ± 3°C (77 ± 5°F). The
specimens on the mandrels then shall be conditioned for 168 hours in a 121 ± 2°C (250 ± 4°F) oven. After
conditioning, the specimens shall be removed from the oven, cooled to 23 ± 3°C (73 ± 5°F). The copper
mandrels shall then be removed from the tubing, then the tubing and copper mandrels shall be examined.
Darkening of the copper due to normal air oxidation shall not be cause for rejection. The tubing shall be
tested for Ultimate Elongation in accordance with 4.3.2.
4.4 Rejection And Retest
Failure of any sample of tubing to comply with any one of the requirements of this specification shall be
cause for rejection of the lot represented. Tubing which has been rejected may be replaced or reworked to
correct the defect and then resubmitted for acceptance. Before resubmitting, full particulars concerning the
rejection and the action taken to correct the defect shall be furnished to the inspector.
5.0 Preparation for Delivery
5.1 Packaging
Packaging shall be in accordance with good commercial practice. The shipping container shall be not be
less than 125 pound-test fiberboard.
5.2 Marking
Each container of tubing shall be permanently and legibly marked with the size, quantity, manufacturer's
identification and lot number.
