shall be provided by a diffusion pump and a liquid nitrogen trap. The apparatus shall consist of a

glass sample changer, refluxing liquid heat source and a polished stainless steel plate in close

contact with a copper cold finger cooled internally by circulating water. The axis of the exit of the

sample chamber shall be perpendicular to and approximately 7 mm from the cooled condensing

plate. Use a micro balance to weigh the specimens before and after conditioning and calculate

total weight loss. Weigh the condensing plate before and after to calculate percent volatile

condensable material.

The test method shall be as specified in TE document 109-121008. Six Cable Markers shall be

prepared as detailed in section 4.1. Specimens shall be conditioned for 168 hours at 225±2°C

(437°F) in an air circulating oven. Markers shall be removed and allowed to cool to room

temperature for a minimum of 4 hours at 23±2°C.

After conditioning three samples shall be tested for Mark Adherence, in accordance with section

4.2.1. The marking shall be examined for legibility using normal reading vision. Print contrast

shall be measured in accordance with TE Document 411-121002.

The remaining three samples shall be tested for resistance to bending. Specimens shall be bent

around a mandrel with a diameter 10 x specimen thickness (± 10%).

for a minimum of 2 hours at 23±2°C.

After conditioning three samples shall be tested for Mark Adherence in accordance with section

4.2.1. The marking shall be examined for legibility using normal reading vision. Print contrast

shall be measured in accordance with TE Document 411-121002.

The three remaining samples shall be tested for resistance to bending. Specimens shall be bent

around a mandrel with a diameter 10 x specimen thickness (± 10%).

4.4.3

Low Temperature Flexibility

The test method shall be as specified in TE Document 109-121006. Six Cable Markers shall be

prepared as detailed in section 4.1.

Specimens and an 11mm (7/16 inch) metal mandrel shall be conditioned for 4 hours at -55±2°C

in a cold chamber. While still in the conditioning chamber wrap each strip 360 degrees around

the mandrel in approximately 2 seconds. The remaining printed markers are removed from the

chamber and allowed to restore to room temperature for a minimum of 2 hours at 23±2°C.

The printed samples shall be tested for Mark Adherence in accordance with section 4.2.1. The

marking shall be examined for legibility using normal reading vision. Print contrast shall be

measured in accordance with TE Document 411-121002.

4.5

Environmental Testing

4.5.1

Fungus Resistance

Three Cable Marker specimens shall be printed and prepared as specified in section 4.1.

Care should be taken during handling, printing, and with any packaging used. Product

contamination may lead to erroneous results.

The test method shall be as specified in ASTM G21-96. Samples shall be conditioned for 28

days after which Fungus growth is visually assessed using a maximum magnification of 6x.

After exposure to the fungal spores, decontaminate with isopropyl alcohol, three printed samples

shall be tested for Mark Adherence in accordance with section 4.2.1. The marking shall be

examined for legibility using normal reading vision. Print contrast shall be measured in

accordance with TE Document 411-121002.

4.5.2

Corrosion

Three Cable Marker specimens shall be printed and prepared as specified in section 4.1.

Test for copper mirror corrosion in accordance with TE work instruction reference 109-121009.

Heat the samples for 16 hours at 200 ± 2°C (392 ± 4°F).
