BS EN 62329-3-101 gives the requirements for heat-shrinkable moulded shapes, polyolefin, semi-rigid, limited fire hazard, material requirements and system performance.
Experience of product performance indicates that this moulded shape material is suitable for inclusion in systems for operation in the following temperature range: –30 °C to + 105 °C.
The moulded shapes may be supplied with a pre-coated adhesive. These moulded shapes are normally supplied in the styles and dimensions given in IEC 62329-3- 100. The colour is normally black.
Styles and dimensions other than those specifically listed in IEC 62329-3-100 may be available as custom items. These items shall be considered to comply with BS EN 62329-3-101 if they comply with the property requirements as outlined in this standard except for dimensions.
BS EN 62329-3-101 on heat-shrinkable moulded shapes specification is useful for:
Heat shrinkable moulded shapes are used for providing compact and smooth insulating surface at joints. Heat shrinkable moulded shapes also function to seal and protect wire connections.
BS EN 62329-3-101 provides specifications for heat-shrinkable moulded shapes to make the selection of appropriate material easier.
BS EN 62329-3-101 also provides information such as:
And more to help suppliers and manufacturer understand and manufacture the best quality heat-shrinkable moulded shapes, which will ultimately leader to better and more secured connections in wires and lesser chances of mishaps.
