-Annex A
(normative)
Volume resistivity
This test shall be made on insulated conductor sample
The sample shall be immersed in water previously heated to the specified temperature, a length of about 0,25 m at each end of the sample being kept above the water
The length of the samples, the temperature of the water and the duration of immersion are given in the relevant cable specification
A d.c voltage between 80 V and 500 V shall then be applied between the conductor and the water The insulation resistance shall be measured 1 min after application of the voltage
The volume resistivity shall be calculated from the measured insulation resistance by the following formula:
where
Ô = volume resistivity, in 7·m;
R = measured insulation resistance, in 7;
l = length of the sample, in m;
D = outer diameter of the insulation, in mm;
d = inner diameter of the insulation, in mm
