BS EN 60684-3-116 is a part of the BS EN 60684-3 multi-series that discusses flexible insulating sleeving.
BS EN 60684-3-116 gives the requirements for non-heat-shrinkable sleeving, extruded from compounds based on polychloroprene elastomer. This sleeving has been found suitable for temperatures up to 95 ºC.
Note: The selection of a material by a user for a specific application should be based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in the application and not based on BS EN 60684-3-116 alone.
BS EN 60684-3-116 on the specifications for extruded polychloroprene is useful for:
Extruded polychloroprene sleeving is used for various fields like processing equipment, power generation components, motors and engines, and outdoor enclosures and equipment. These sleeving need to meet certain quality requirements to carry out their intended purpose.
BS EN 60684-3-116 provides you with dimension and property requirements for both sheet 116 thin wall sleeving and sheet 117 thick wall sleeving. Materials that conform to BS EN 60684-3-116 meet established levels of performance.
Overall, the guidelines of BS EN 60684-3-116 enable you to produce high quality extruded polychloroprene sleeving.
BS EN 60684-3-116:2011 supersedes EN 60684-3-116 and EN 60684-3-117:2003.
BS EN 60684-3-116:2011 includes requirements for four new tests:
EN 60684-3-116:2011
IEC 60684-3-116:2010
