BS EN 61212-3-1 is a European Standard on insulating material. BS EN 61212-3-1 is the third part of multi-series on insulating material that provides requirements for industrial rigid round laminated rolled tubes for electrical purposes, based on different resins and different reinforcements. Materials that conform to this specification meet established levels of performance.
However, the selection of a material by a user for a specific application should be based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not based on this specification alone.
BS EN 61212-3-1 on round laminated rolled tubes is relevant to:
Round laminated rolled tubes are tubes formed by rolling impregnated layers of material on a mandrel between heated pressure rolls, curing in an oven, then removing the mandrel. BS EN 61212-3-1 provides designations and abbreviations, requirements and types of industrial round rolled tubes these ensure the quality of insulating materials.
Overall BS EN 61212-3-1 is beneficial as they are eco-friendly, and as compared to aluminum tubes, the cost to recycle them is lower, the evaluation of these properties provides indications of the right materials to be chosen for your specific application needs. Using BS EN 61212-3-1 best practice guidance, you will be able to improve the safety and quality of insulating materials.
