What is BS EN 6049-005 - Characteristics of post installation flexible mechanical protection sleeves about?
BS EN 6049-005 is a European Standard that defines the characteristics of post installation flexible mechanical protection sleeves for electrical cable and cable bundles made from meta-aramid fibres and provided with water repelled protection.
Who is BS EN 6049-005 - Characteristics of post installation flexible mechanical protection sleeves for?
BS EN 6049-005 on characteristics of post installation flexible mechanical protection sleeves is useful for:
- Electric cables manufacturers
- Protective sleeve manufacturers
- Protective sleeves installers
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Design engineers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 6049-005 - Characteristics of post installation flexible mechanical protection sleeves?
Protection sleeves are commonly used when two fibres are fusion spliced together. The protection sleeve is meant to protect the splice joint and exposed fibre after the splice has been completed.
BS EN 6049-005 provides you with the required characteristics such as dimensions, mass, material, and colour of protective sleeves that assist in manufacturing efficient quality and highly durable protection sleeves.
BS EN 6049-005 also provides you with the properties of protective sleeves like temperature range, bending properties, resistance to water absorption, mould growth, and tensile strength of the tows that also assist during the designing and manufacturing of protective sleeves.
BS EN 6049-005 provides you with technical specifications and tests methods for evaluating and improving the performance of protection sleeves.
