What is BS EN 60811-602 – Separation of oil in filling compounds about?
BS EN 60811-602 is the 602nd part of EN 60811 series. The IEC 60811 series specifies the test methods to be used for testing non-metallic materials of all types of cables. These test methods are intended to be referenced in standards for cable construction and for cable materials.
BS EN 60811-602 gives the test methods for the separation of oil in filling compounds.
Note 1: Non-metallic materials are typically used for insulating, sheathing, bedding, filling or taping within cables.
Note 2: These test methods are accepted as basic and fundamental and have been developed and used over many years principally for the materials in all energy cables. They have also been widely accepted and used for other cables, in particular optical fibre cables, communication and control cables and cables for ships and offshore applications.
Who is BS EN 60811-602 - Separation of oil in filling compounds for?
BS EN 60811-602 on separation of oil in filling compounds is relevant to:
- Cable wires manufacturer
- Oil industry
- Telecommunication industry
- Non-metallic materials manufacturer
- Electrical equipment manufacturer
- Electrical engineers
- Mechanical engineers
Why should you use BS EN 60811-602- Separation of oil in filling compounds?
Cable Filling Compounds (CFC) are basically highly crystalline in nature with excellent heat stability and high melting potential. CFCs are widely used in telecommunication industries. BS EN 60811-602 provides general terms, apparatus, test procedure, and expression of results with a test report that ensures the testing performance of separation of oil in filling compounds.
Compliance with BS EN 60811-602 can benefit you by providing accurate tests to demonstrate their quality providing a watertight environment and protection against corrosion and potential dielectric problems which is useful for the product end-users.
