The purpose of these tests is to measure the resistance of cables against mechanical force. The durability and protection of cables are very important in the event of any danger. Mechanical tests are performed to determine the durability of cables.
Ultraviolet aging tests In these tests, the durability of cables against rain and snow water, against sunlight and against humidity is determined. The factors that are calculated in the laboratory are formed and their effects are revealed at a later time. Cables are also subjected to tensile and tear tests, assuming visual findings such as cracking, discoloration and tearing.
These tests are applied to cross-linked plastic materials. The values obtained must meet the criteria specified in the standards.
These tests show the maximum force that the materials that make up the cable can withstand. The point at which the molecular bonds of the material begin to break is the withdrawal point.
These tests measure the resistance of cables against chemical factors other than electrical and mechanical factors. Chemical tests are conducted to determine the level of cable resistance to chemical factors.
