Insulating sleevings are used in motors, transformers, and generators as they protect against abrasion, acids, alkalies, and chemicals. BS EN 60684-3-248 is a part of an international multi-series standard that focuses on aspects of flexible insulating sleeving for electrical purposes.
BS EN 60684-3-248 gives the requirements for six types of general-purpose, heat shrinkable dual wall polyolefin sleevings, flame retarded with nominal shrink ratios of 2:1, 3:1 or 4:1 and available in low and high temperature adhesive inner walls. Sleevings are considered to comply with BS EN 60684-3-248 if they comply with the property requirements listed in Tables, 5 and 6 and Table 8 where applicable, except for dimensions. Sizes or colours other than those listed in BS EN 60684-3-248 may be available as custom items.
BS EN BS EN 60684-3-248 on specifications for dual wall polyolefin sleeving is useful for:
Electronic equipment is used in applications that rely on mechanical or electric systems for their operation. They are essential to any work on electronics systems for creating signals and capturing responses from electronic devices. Insulating sleevings are made of coated fibreglass which adds a layer of insulation to prevent electricity and heat from dissipating from wire and cable. There are certain standardized specifications contributing to the performance of a flexible insulating sleeving.
BS EN 60684-3-248 provides users with the standardized designation for sleevings which helps in their identification. BS EN 60684-3-248 walks the users through the elevated temperature performance test that helps assess the performance characteristics of flexible insulating sleevings, ensuring their reliability. The guidelines in BS EN 60684-3-248 help you perceive standardized specifications for dual wall polyolefin sleeving that enables you to provide a superior quality product to your customers.
