Raychem BSTS/BSTS-FR Tubing

General Purpose Polyolefin Heat-Shrinkable

1. SCOPE

This specification covers requirements for two types of electrically insulating, extruded tubing whose

diameter will reduce to a predetermined size upon the application of heat in excess of 120ºC.

BSTS

BSTS is not flame-retardant. The standard color shall be black, but also available in white, red or clear.

BSTS-FR

BSTS-FR is flame-retardant. The standard color shall be black, but also available in white or red.

2. REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Composition and Appearance

The tubing shall be fabricated from thermally stabilized, modified polyolefin and shall be irradiation

crosslinked. It shall be homogeneous and essentially free from flaws, defects, pinholes, bubbles, seams,

cracks and inclusions.

3. PROPERTIES

The tubing shall meet the requirements of Tables 1 and 2.

4. 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 Production Routine

Production routine tests shall be carried out on every batch, unless otherwise specified and shall consist of

the following: dimensions, longitudinal change, tensile strength, ultimate elongation, heat shock, low

temperature flexibility and flammability. Flammability is not applicable to BSTS.

5. SAMPLING INSTRUCTIONS

5.1 Qualification Test Samples

Qualification test samples shall consist of 45 m (150 feet) of tubing. Qualification of one size from 13 to

17 qualifies all sizes. The color shall be black or clear (BSTS only) unless otherwise specified.

5.2 Production Routine Test Samples

Production routine test samples shall consist of a sufficient length to perform the tests listed in 4.1.2.

selected at random from each batch. A batch shall consist of all tubing of the same size, from the same

production run and offered for inspection at the same time. Physical property tests performed at this time

qualify subsequent tubing lots produced from the same compound batch.

6. TEST PROCEDURES

Unless otherwise specified the tubing shall be recovered in a forced air circulation oven for 10 minutes at

150  2C.

6.1 Dimensions and Longitudinal Change

The test method shall be as specified in ASTM D 2671.

The length and inside diameter of three 250 mm (10 inch) long specimens of expanded tubing shall be

measured. The specimens shall be recovered and the length and inside diameter of each shall be measured.

The longitudinal change shall be expressed as a percentage of the original length. The minimum and

maximum recovered wall thicknesses shall be determined.

6.2 Tensile Strength and Ultimate Elongation

The test method shall be as specified in ASTM D 638.

For tubing of recovered inside diameter greater than 6.0 mm (0.236 inch), five Type IV dumbbell

specimens shall be tested. For tubing of recovered inside diameter less than or equal to 6.0 mm

(0.236 inch), five specimens 150 mm (6 inches) long shall be tested. Rate of jaw separation shall be

500  10 mm (20  0.5 inches) per minute. The test shall be carried out at a temperature of 23  2C.

7. PREPARATION FOR DELIVERY

7.1 Form

The tubing shall be supplied in cut lengths unless otherwise specified.

7.2 Packaging

Packaging shall be in accordance with good commercial practice.

7.3 Marking

Each container of tubing shall be legibly marked with the size, quantity, manufacturer's identification and

batch number.
