METHODS OF TEST FOR CABLES
PART 61 FLAME RETARDANT TEST
1. Scope - Covers a method to assess the ability of electric cable to resist ignition and to Prevent
iire from spreading.
!. Significance - The way a cable behaves in a fire depends on the material and the design of the
zable as well as the external circumstances. A cable is considered flame retardant if it. when being
tested, is ignited but extinguishes again when the external heat supply ceases and the spread of the
fire dces not exceed the given maximum value.
3. Terminology - See IS : 1885 (Part 32)-1971 ‘Electrotechnical vocabulary: Part 32 Cables,
:onductors and accessories for electricity supply’.
Q. Apparatus - The test equipment shall consist of a vertical steel tube having a wall thickness of
3’8fO’l mm with rectangular ventilation openings, a lid of steel and an edged conical tray of stainless
steel for a volume of 1 litre of ignition fluid. The mass cf the tray shall be 160&20 g. The complete
equipment with all dimensions is shown in Fig. 1. The tray shall be placed on a heat insulating
bedding.
It shall be possible to vary the distance between the lid and thetube between IO and 30 mm.
At the upper end of the tube, there shall be a horizontal steel rod for suspension of the tesl
specimen described in 6. At the lower end of the tube which shall be open, the test specimen is fixed
with a metal wire with a maximum diameter of 0‘8 mm.
When adjusting the lid according to 8.1, the temperature in the tube is measured about 130 mm
From its upper end.
5. Material
5.1 Ignition Fluid - Ethanol 95 percent with a specific heat energy of about 23 MJ/kg.
6. Test Specimen
6.1 Test specimen shall consist of one cable or several cables cabled together with a lay of betweer
IO and 15 times as cabling diameter. The cabling diameter is the circumscribed circle of the tesl
specimen. The length of the test specimen shall be 850 mm in a finished condition.
6.2 Number of Specimens - When testirg single-core cable with an external diameter less than 4 mm
five pieces of the cable are cabled to one test specimen. When testing single core cable with ar
external diameter equal to or larger than 4 mm but less than IO mm, three pieces of the cable arc
cabled to one test specimen. When testing a single core cable with an external diameter equal to o
larger than 10 rn*n and when testing multiconductor cables, one piece of cable is used as tesi
specimen.
The external diameter of the test specimen shall not exceed 70 mm.
7. Conditioning - No preiconditioning of the test specimen is required.
8. Procedure
8.1 Calibration of the Test Equipment - Before the test, the test equipment shall be Cal&rated a!
follows:
20 X t ml (not less than 70 mm ) ethanol 95 percent with a specific heat energy of abou,
23 MJ/kg shall be filled in the fuel tray; where t is the burning time of ethanol in minutes
t=K+-fmrn
and K = I for a cable with a cross-sectional conductor area f2’5 mm2,
K = 2 for a cable with a cross-sectional conductor area >2.5 mm?. and
D = external diameter of the test specimen in mm.

FIG. 1 TEST EQUIPMENT FOR FLAME RETARDANT TEST
The distance between the lid and the tube is determined so that the temperature 255f5”C is
obtained, at the point measured about 130 mm from its upper end, after that the ignition fluid has been
burning for 3 minutes. This is done by burning a cerain quantity of ignition fluid ( 20 x t) as above
and reading the temperature after 3 minutes. If necessary, the procedure is repeated after the test
equipment has cooled down and with the lid in another position until the correct temperature has
been reached.
8.2 Placing of the Test Specimen - After the test equipment has cooled down the test specimen is
placed in the tube with its longitudinal axis along the centre line of the tube. The test specimen shall
be provided with a loop at one end and be susp,ended on the steel rod which is placed over the upper
end of the tube so that the lower part of the test specimen extends about 50 mm below the lower
part of the tube. The lower part of the test specimen is horizontally fixed with a~metal wire with a
maximum diameter of 0.8 mm. When testing, a quantity of ethanol ( 20 % t ml ) is ignited and shall
burn fort minutes. The fire is extinguished by taking out the fuel tray.

IS : 10810 (, Part 61 ) - 1988
8.3 The fire in the test specimen shall extinguish by itself. The testing is not finished, until all signs
of burning, including smoke without visible ftame, have ceased.

  • 1. IJDC 621’315’221’8: 621’315’616.96: 536’4681( FirstReprint APRIL 1995) 1s : 10810 1 PaI? 61 ) - 1988 Indian Standard METHODS OF TEST FOR CABLES PART 61 FLAME RETARDANT TEST 1. Scope - Covers a method to assess the ability of electric cable to resist ignition and to Prevent iire from spreading. !. Significance - The way a cable behaves in a fire depends on the material and the design of the zable as well as the external circumstances. A cable is considered flame retardant if it. when being tested, is ignited but extinguishes again when the external heat supply ceases and the spread of the fire dces not exceed the given maximum value. 3. Terminology - See IS : 1885 (Part 32)-1971 ‘Electrotechnical vocabulary: Part 32 Cables, :onductors and accessories for electricity supply’. Q. Apparatus - The test equipment shall consist of a vertical steel tube having a wall thickness of 3’8fO’l mm with rectangular ventilation openings, a lid of steel and an edged conical tray of stainless steel for a volume of 1 litre of ignition fluid. The mass cf the tray shall be 160&20 g. The complete equipment with all dimensions is shown in Fig. 1. The tray shall be placed on a heat insulating bedding. It shall be possible to vary the distance between the lid and thetube between IO and 30 mm. At the upper end of the tube, there shall be a horizontal steel rod for suspension of the tesl specimen described in 6. At the lower end of the tube which shall be open, the test specimen is fixed with a metal wire with a maximum diameter of 0‘8 mm. When adjusting the lid according to 8.1, the temperature in the tube is measured about 130 mm From its upper end. 5. Material 5.1 Ignition Fluid - Ethanol 95 percent with a specific heat energy of about 23 MJ/kg. 6. Test Specimen 6.1 Test specimen shall consist of one cable or several cables cabled together with a lay of betweer IO and 15 times as cabling diameter. The cabling diameter is the circumscribed circle of the tesl specimen. The length of the test specimen shall be 850 mm in a finished condition. 6.2 Number of Specimens - When testirg single-core cable with an external diameter less than 4 mm five pieces of the cable are cabled to one test specimen. When testing single core cable with ar external diameter equal to or larger than 4 mm but less than IO mm, three pieces of the cable arc cabled to one test specimen. When testing a single core cable with an external diameter equal to o larger than 10 rn*n and when testing multiconductor cables, one piece of cable is used as tesi specimen. The external diameter of the test specimen shall not exceed 70 mm. 7. Conditioning - No preiconditioning of the test specimen is required. 8. Procedure 8.1 Calibration of the Test Equipment - Before the test, the test equipment shall be Cal&rated a! follows: 20 X t ml (not less than 70 mm ) ethanol 95 percent with a specific heat energy of abou, 23 MJ/kg shall be filled in the fuel tray; where t is the burning time of ethanol in minutes t=K+-fmrn and K = I for a cable with a cross-sectional conductor area f2’5 mm2, K = 2 for a cable with a cross-sectional conductor area >2.5 mm?. and D = external diameter of the test specimen in mm.

Tolerance on dimensions where not-specified otherwise = +l mm. FIG. 1 TEST EQUIPMENT FOR FLAME RETARDANT TEST The distance between the lid and the tube is determined so that the temperature 255f5”C is obtained, at the point measured about 130 mm from its upper end, after that the ignition fluid has been burning for 3 minutes. This is done by burning a cerain quantity of ignition fluid ( 20 x t) as above and reading the temperature after 3 minutes. If necessary, the procedure is repeated after the test equipment has cooled down and with the lid in another position until the correct temperature has been reached. 8.2 Placing of the Test Specimen - After the test equipment has cooled down the test specimen is placed in the tube with its longitudinal axis along the centre line of the tube. The test specimen shall be provided with a loop at one end and be susp,ended on the steel rod which is placed over the upper end of the tube so that the lower part of the test specimen extends about 50 mm below the lower part of the tube. The lower part of the test specimen is horizontally fixed with a~metal wire with a maximum diameter of 0.8 mm. When testing, a quantity of ethanol ( 20 % t ml ) is ignited and shall burn fort minutes. The fire is extinguished by taking out the fuel tray. 2
  • 3. IS : 10810 (, Part 61 ) - 1988 8.3 The fire in the test specimen shall extinguish by itself. The testing is not finished, until all signs of burning, including smoke without visible ftame, have ceased. 9.
