INTRODUCTION This International Standard is one of a series which deals with flexible insulating sleeving for electrical purposes

The series consists of three parts:

Part 1: Definitions and general requirements (IEC 60684-1)

Part 2: Methods of test (IEC 60684-2)

Part 3: Specifications for individual types of sleeving (IEC 60684-3)

This standard gives one of the sheets comprising Part 3 as follows:

Sheet 214: Heat-shrinkable, polyolefin sleeving, not flame retarded, thick and medium wall

– 6 – 60684-3-214 © IEC:2013

FLEXIBLE INSULATING SLEEVING – Part 3: Specifications for individual types of sleeving –

Sheet 214: Heat-shrinkable, polyolefin sleeving, not flame retarded, thick and medium wall

1 Scope

This standard gives the requirements for two types of heat-shrinkable, polyolefin sleeving, not flame retarded, thick and medium wall with a nominal shrink ratio of 3:1

This sleeving has been found suitable for use at temperatures of up to 100 °C

Type A: Medium wall – internal diameter up to 200 mm typically

Type B: Thick wall – internal diameter up to 200 mm typically

These sleevings are normally supplied in colour black

Since these types of sleevings cover a significantly large range of sizes and wall thicknesses, Tables A.1 and A.2 of this document provides a guide to the range of sizes available The actual size will be agreed between the user and supplier

Materials which 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
