Common test methods for insulating
and sheathing materials of electric and
optical cables—Part 2-1: Methods specific
to elastomeric compounds—

immersion tests
Introduction This Standard is the Japanese Industrial Standard prepared based

electric and optical cables—Part 2-1 : Methods specific to elastomeric compounds—
Ozone resistance, hot set and mineral oil immersion tests published in 1998 as the
second edition and Amendment 1 (2001) without modifying their technical contents.

tional Standard.
1 General
1.1 Seope This Standard specifies the test methods to be used for testing poly-
meric insulating and sheathing materials of electric and optical cables for power dis-
tribution and telecommunications, including cables used on ships and in offshore
applications.
This Standard gives the methods for the ozone resistance test, hot set test and
mineral oi] immersion test, which apply to elastomeric compounds.
NOTE :_ The International Standards corresponding to this Standard are given
below
In addition, symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in
the contents between the relevant International Standard and JIS are
IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to
ISO/IEC Guide 21.

ing materials of electric and optical cables—Part 2-1: Methods specific

1.2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which,
through reference in this Standard, constitute provisions of this Standard. If the
indication of the year of publication is given to these referred standards, only the
edition of indicated year constitutes the provision of this Standard but the revision
and amendment made thereafter do not apply. ‘The normative references without
the indication of the year of coming into effect apply limiting only to the most recent
edition (including amendments).

2 Test values Full test conditions (such as temperatures, durations, etc.) and full
test requirements are not specified in this Standard; it is intended that they should
be specified by the standard dealing with the relevant type of cable.
Any test requirements which are given in this Standard may be modified by the
relevant cable standard to suit the needs of a particular type of cable.
3 Applicability Conditioning values and testing parameters are specified for the
most common types of insulating and sheathing compounds and of cables, wires and
cords.
4 Type tests and other tests The test methods described in this Standard are
intended, in the first instance, to be used for type tests. In certain tests, where
there are essential differences between the conditions for type tests and those for
more frequent tests, such as routine tests, these differences are indicated
5 Pre-conditioning All the tests shall be carried out not less than 16 h after the
extrusion or vulcanization (or cross-linking), if any, of the insulating or sheathing
compounds.
If the test is carried out at ambient temperature, the test-pieces shall be kept for
at least 3h at a temperature of 23 °C-+5 °C.
6 Test temperature Unless otherwise specified, tests shall be made at ambient
temperature.
7 Median value When several test results have been obtained and ordered in an
increasing or decreasing succession, the median value is the middle value if the number
of available values is odd, and is the mean of the two middle values if the number
is even.

8 Ozone resistance test
Warning: Attention is drawn to the toxicity of ozone. Precautions should be
taken to minimize exposure of personnel to it at all times and the
concentration in the workroom environment should not be allowed
to exceed 0.1 ppm (parts ozone per million parts air by volume), or
the value in the current industrial hygienic standard, whichever
is the lower.
8.1 Test method
8.1.1 Test apparatus
a) A device for generating a controlled amount of ozone
b) A means for circulating ozonized air under controlled conditions of humidity
and temperature through a chamber containing the test pieces to be tested
©) Avmeans for determination of ozone concentration.
4) A suitable device for the clamping and elongation of test pieces.
e) Cylindrical mandrels consisting of wood or metal.
) A desiccator filled with silica gel or equivalent material.
g) An accurate laboratory balance reading to 0.1 mg.
8.1.2 Sampling
8.1.2.1 Sampling of insulation Whether the cable is single or multicore, only
one core needs to be tested. Sufficient length of core shall be cut from a position not
less than 1.5 m from the end of the length of cable to provide two test pieces, unless
the core has an extruded semi-conductor layer on the outside, in which case suffi-
cient length for four test pieces shall be taken.
Any sample that shows signs of mechanical damage shall not be used for the tests.
8.1.2.2 Sampling of sheath One sample of the cable or cord to be tested, or of
the sheath removed from the cable, shall be taken of sufficient size to provide a mini-
mum of two test pieces.
Any sample that shows signs of mechanical damage shall not be used for the tests.
8.1.8 Preparation of test pieces
8.1.8.1 Test pieces of insulation Any protective coverings present on the core
shall be removed without damaging the insulation, unless they were applied directly
to the insulation prior to vuleanization and are adherent to it.
If the core has a semi-conducting layer in the form of tape on the outside, this
shall be removed
If the core has an extruded semi-conducting screen on the outside, this shall be
removed from two test pieces and left in position on the other two.

8.1.3.2 Test pieces of sheath Two dumb-bell test pieces shall be prepared in ac-
cordance with 9.1.3 and 9.2.3 of JIS C 3660-1-1. The minimum test piece thickness
shall be 0.6 mm.
In the case of cables of such small size that it is not possible to prepare dumb-
bell test pieces, the test method used shall be that specified for insulation.
8.1.4 Conditioning and deformation procedure of test pieces
8.1.4.1 Test pieces of insulation If the core does not have an extruded semi-
conducting screen, one test piece shall be bent in the direction and plane of its ex-
isting curvature, without twisting, for one complete turn around a mandrel, and bound
with twine or tape where the ends cross, and a second test piece of the same core
shall be bent similarly in the plane of its existing curvature but in the opposite
rection.
If the core as manufactured has an extruded core screen on the outside, two test
pieces, one with the semi-conducting layer removed and one with the semi-conduct-
ing layer left in position, shall be bent, as above, in each direction.
‘The bending shall be carried out at room temperature or 20 °C, whichever is higher,
using a brass, aluminium or suitably treated wooden mandrel with the following
diameter:
