Visual Examination and Dimensions
The kit shall be examined for the number of components and the critical dimensions as specified
in the relevant SCD. After installation the sealed cable assembly shall be examined for the
quality of adhesive flow etc, and a record of the conditions noted for comparison purposes.
The test method shall be as described in RTM 2581. A constant pressure of 0.5 bar shall be
applied for 1 min ± 5 seconds and the seal examined for evidence of bubbles indicating that
leakage has occurred.
Electrical Performance (Insulation Resistance)
The test method shall be as described in RTM 2583.
The measurement of Insulation Resistance shall be made after a 500 volt dc, 2 amp load has
been applied for 5 min ± 15 seconds
The test method shall be as described in RTM 2574 which is based on DIN VDE 0472
Part 611. Drop height shall be 100mm. Anvil weight shall be 1kg. Specimens prepared as
described in Clause 3.1 shall be conditioned as specified in Table 1. At the completion of the
test the sample shall be stored at ambient for 2 hours minimum prior to Visual Examination and
Sealing Performance testing.
High Temperature Endurance
Five samples prepared according to Clause 3.1 shall be visually examined and tested for Sealing
and Electrical Performance according to Clauses 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4.
The samples shall be placed in an air circulating oven and maintained at the maximum operating
temperature (T
max
as specified in Table 1) for a period of 3000 ± 24 hours.
On removal the samples shall be stabilised at ambient temperature for 2 hours ± 15 minutes
prior to Visual Examination, Sealing and Electrical Performance testing
Fluid Resistance
Five samples prepared as described in Clause 3.1 shall be immersed in each of the fluids, as
specified in Table 1. On removal the specimens shall be wiped and air dried for 1 hour ± 15
minutes at ambient prior to Visual Examination and Sealing Performance testing.
