Cable Tensile Measurement
Cable testing used to determine tensile strength is used to determine the mechanical properties of insulation and sheath compounds. The standard BS EN 60811-501 determines the testing methods for cables applied to cross-linked and thermosetting insulation and sheathing materials.

Cable Elongation Measurement
Cable testing used to determine the mechanical properties of insulation and sheath compounds for measuring tensile strength and elongation. The standard BS EN 60811-501 determines the testing methods for cables applied to cross-linked and thermosetting insulation and sheathing materials.

Cable Construction and Dimensional Testing
Several measurement methods are crucial for the construction of cables and their compliance with relevant standards. These are some key cable tests conducted by our professional technical personnel as part of our internal quality assurance process, but also provided as third-party services to determine compliance with standards.

Cable Resistance Testing
The conductor resistance cable test shall be conducted on a full length cable or at least 1 meter long cable sample and measured in accordance with BS EN 60228. This test determines the DC resistance of Class 1, Class 2, Class 5, and Class 6 conductors, used for ordinary circular or irregular copper, metallized copper, aluminum, and aluminum alloys.

Cable Ageing Testing
It is expected that the cable will continue to operate and execute in accordance with relevant cable standards, with an extended service life of up to 25 years. In order to ensure that long-term use does not have a negative impact on the cable, it is important to conduct tests after the accelerated aging process. Aging tests determine any changes in mechanical properties, especially when cross-linking and thermal compounds are used as insulation and sheath materials.
