TEST METHODS 3.1 Unless otherwise specified, tests shall be carried out on specimens of sleeving recovered by conditioning in a fan assisted air circulating oven at 200 5C for 4 1 minutes and allowed to cool in air to ambient temperature. No pre-conditioning period is required prior to testing. Unless otherwise specified, all tests shall be made under standard ambient conditions according to IEC Publication 212. In cases of dispute the tests shall be carried out at a temperature of 23 2C and at 50 5% relative humidity. 3.2 Dimensions and Longitudinal Change The test method shall be as specified in ASTM D2671. The length and inside diameter of three 150mm long specimens of expanded sleeving shall be measured. The specimens shall be recovered in a fan assisted air circulating oven and the length and inside diameter of each shall be measured. The longitudinal change shall be expressed as a percentage of the original length. The minimum and maximum recovered wall thickness shall be determined.
