BS EN 60684 discusses specifications for flexible insulating sleeving. BS EN 60684-3-406 to 408 is the third part of BS EN 60684 multi-series and discusses glass textile sleeving with PVC coating.
BS EN 60684-3-406 to 408 gives the requirements for E-type glass sleeving using either braided or knitted construction with a continuous flexible coating based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or its copolymers or blends thereof. These sleevings have been found suitable up to temperatures of 105 °C.
BS EN 60684-3-406 to 408 on flexible insulating sleeving is useful for:
The sleeving is normally available with internal diameters between 0,3 mm and 25 mm and is normally supplied in the following colours: black, white, red, yellow, blue, brown, green, grey, orange, pink and green/yellow.
Materials which conform to BS EN 60684-3-406 to 408 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.
