What is BS EN 60684-3-300 – Glass textile fibre sleeving about?
BS EN 60684-3-300 is one of the parts of the series on flexible insulating sleeving. BS EN 60684-3-300 is an International Standard that specifies individual types of sleeving. BS EN 60684-3-300 gives the requirements for braided and uncoated glass textile fibre sleeving. BS EN 60684-3-300 gives the requirements for glass textile fibre sleeving, uncoated, constructed from a braid of E-type yarn. The sleeving is annealed by heat treatment to assist in maintaining a circular cross-section. This sleeving is suitable for use at temperatures up to 350 °C. It is normally available in internal diameters between 0,5 mm and 30 mm and is normally supplied in its natural colour. Sizes or colours other than those specifically listed in this standard may be available as custom items. These items shall be considered to comply with this standard if they comply with the other property requirements listed in tables 2 and 3. 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.
