TEST METHODS (Cont’d)
3.11
Copper Contact Corrosion
The test method shall be as specified in ASTM D2671.
The specimens shall be conditioned in a fan assisted air circulating oven as specified in
Table 1, allowed to cool naturally to room temperature and tested for Ultimate Elongation
according to Clause 3.3.
3.12
Copper Mirror Corrosion
The test method shall be as specified in ASTM D2671.
The specimens shall be conditioned as specified in Table 1.
3.13
Water Absorption
The test method shall be as specified in Method 1 of ISO 62.
Three tubular specimens 50mm long shall be cut from the sleeving.
3.14
Fluid Resistance
The test method shall be as specified in ISO 1817.
Five tensile test specimens prepared as in Clause 3.3. shall be completely immersed in each of
the fluids for the times and temperatures specified in Table 1. The volume of the fluid shall not
be less than 20 times that of the specimen. After immersion, lightly wipe the specimens and
allow to air dry at 23 ± 2°C for 1h ± 15m. The Tensile Strength and Ultimate Elongation of
each specimen shall be tested according to Clause 3.3. The test shall be repeated on the
remaining specified fluids.
3.15
Fungus Resistance
The test method shall be as specified in ISO 846.
The specimens shall be conditioned for 56 days, and tested for Tensile Strength and Ultimate
Elongation according to Clause 3.3.

5.
SAMPLING
Tests shall be carried out on a sample taken at random from each batch of finished sleeving.
A batch of sleeving is defined as that quantity of sleeving extruded at any one time.
Testing frequency shall be Production Routine, 10th Batch or Qualification. Production Routine
tests consisting of Visual Examination, Dimensions and Longitudinal Change shall be carried
out on every batch of sleeving. 10th batch tests shall consist of Tensile Strength, Ultimate
Elongation, Secant Modulus at 2% Strain and Specific Gravity.
Qualification tests shall be carried out to the requirements of the Design Authority.
6.
PACKAGING
Packaging shall be in accordance with good commercial practice. Each package shall bear an
identification label showing material quantity, description, size, colour and batch number.
Additional information shall be supplied as specified in the contract or order.
