Specification RT-510 TE Connectivity This Issue: Issue 14 305 Constitution Drive Date: 16-Jun-15 Menlo Park, CA 94025 USA Replaces: Issue 13 RAYCHEM NT TUBING Modified Chlorinated Polyolefin, Elastomeric, Flexible, Flame Retardant, Heat Shrinkable 1.0 Scope This specification covers the requirements for one type of highly flexible, electrically insulating, extruded tubing whose diameter will reduce to a predetermined size upon the application of heat in excess of 135C (275F). 2.0 Applicable Documents This specification takes precedence over documents referenced herein. Unless otherwise specified, the latest issue of referenced documents applies. The following documents form a part of this specification to the extent specified herein. 2.1 Government-Furnished Documents Military SAE-AMS-1424 Anti-Icing and Deicing - Defrosting Fluid MIL-DTL-83133 Turbine Fuels, Aviation, Kerosene Types, NATO F-34 (JP-8), NATO F-35 and JP-8 + 100 MIL-PRF-5606 Hydraulic Fluid, Petroleum Base, Aircraft, Missile and Ordnance MIL-PRF-7808 Lubricating Oil, Aircraft Turbine Engine, Synthetic Base, NATO Code Number 0-148 2.2 Other Publications American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) ASTM D412 Standard Test Methods for Rubber Properties in Tension ASTM D2240 Standard Method of Test for Indentation Hardness of Rubber and Plastics by Means of a Durometer ASTM D2671 Standard Methods of Testing Heat-Shrinkable Tubing for Electrical Use ASTM G21 Standard Practice for Determining Resistance of Synthetic Polymeric Materials to Fungi Copies of ASTM publications may be obtained from the American Society for Testing and Materials, 1916 Race Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103 International Organization for Standardization (ISO) ISO 846 Plastics Evaluation of the Action of Microorganisms Copies of ISO publications may be obtained from the International Organization for Standardization, 1, rue de Varemb, CH-1211 Geneva 20, Switzerland or at Page 2 SPECIFICATION RT-510 ISSUE 14 4.0 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 Acceptance Tests Acceptance tests are those performed on tubing submitted for acceptance under contract. Acceptance tests shall consist of the following: Dimensions Longitudinal Change Tensile Strength Tensile Stress Ultimate Elongation Heat Shock Flammability Low Temperature Flexibility Physical property tests performed at this time qualify subsequent sleeving lots produced from the same batch of compound. Statistical process control data may be used to demonstrate conformance for dimensions. 4.2 Sampling Instructions 4.2.1 Qualification Test Samples Qualification test samples shall consist of 50 feet (15 m) of tubing of each size. Qualification of any size within each size range specified below will qualify all sizes in the same range. Size Range 1/8 through 7/8 1 through 4 4.2.2 Acceptance Test Samples Acceptance test samples shall consist of not less than 16 feet (5 m) of tubing selected at random from each lot. A lot shall consist of all tubing of the same size, from the same production run and offered for inspection at the same time. 4.3 Test Procedures Unless otherwise specified, tests shall be performed on specimens which have been fully recovered by conditioning for 10 minutes in a 175 5C (347 9F) oven. All ovens shall be of the mechanical convection type in which air passes over the specimens at a velocity of 100 to 200 feet (30 to 61 m) per minute. Tubing shall be allowed to cool to room temperature prior to testing. The Heat Shrinkable Sleeving and Measurement Gages shall be at room temperature with ambient relative humidity prior to testing before or after heat shrinking.
