Full title and description

Coaxial communication cables - Part 1-313: Mechanical test methods - Adhesion of dielectric and sheath. This international standard specifies a test method to determine the adhesion of the dielectric to the inner conductor and of the sheath to the outer conductor of coaxial communication cables.

Abstract

IEC 61196-1-313:2009 defines a reproducible mechanical test procedure for assessing the bond between cable components (dielectric/inner conductor and sheath/outer conductor). It is intended to support quality control, conformance testing and comparative evaluation of coaxial cable constructions.

Scope

Applies to coaxial communication cables and specifies the mechanical test method to determine adhesion of the dielectric to the inner conductor and of the sheath to the outer conductor. The procedure and reporting requirements are intended to ensure comparable results across test laboratories and manufacturers.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of the test purpose: measuring adhesion between dielectric and inner conductor, and between sheath and outer conductor.
• Specimen preparation and conditioning to ensure representative and reproducible test samples.
• Detailed test procedure (mechanical adhesion/peel or pull-off method, apparatus and speed/control parameters).
• Required test reporting elements (measured values, test conditions, sample identification and any deviations).
• Use of results for quality control, acceptance criteria definition and comparative evaluation of cable constructions.

Typical use and users

Used by coaxial cable manufacturers, component suppliers, independent test laboratories, certification bodies and design/quality engineers in telecommunications and broadcast industries for production control, type testing and verification of construction integrity.
