Please also consider following :--

1) PVC ST 30 compound for both inner & outer sheath.

2) Testing shall be done as per EIL Specification 6-51-0051, Rev. 06
3) Progressive sequential length marking shall be provided at every one metre interval by
engraving / embossing on outer sheath.
4) Outer sheath shall be rodent & termite resistant.
5) Oxygen index test on outer sheath is to be conducted as per ASTM-D 2863 and min, value of
oxygen index shall be 29 at 27±2°C.
6) Flammability test is required as per IS: 10810 ( Part- 61 ) and Category ‘AF’ to IS: 10810 ( Part-
62 ). Please take care of the additional length required for testing.

7) Min. thickness of Extruded conductor and insulation screen shall be 0.3 mm.
8) Test for rodent & termite repulsion property to be conducted as under ( in the event of order
only )
9) Lead nephthanate is added in outer sheath compound to have rodent & termite repulsion
property. The presence of lead nephthanate in compound is as under:

Take 20 grams of sheathing compound in 50 ml capacity silica crucible and ignite the same in a
muffle furnace at about 600 0 C till all the portion of material is burnt. Cool the crucible and
treat the residue with 10 ml of nitric acid in a 500 ml beaker and boil. After boiling, dilute the
solution with 150 ml distilled water and filter this solution through No. 42 filter paper. Wash
the residue 2 or 3 times with hot distilled water. Concentrate the above filtered solution by
boiling to a volume of approx. 50 to 60 ml.

Take approx. 10 ml of above concentrated solution in a test tube and add small quantity of 10 %
Potassium Chromate solution. A Yellow precipitate of Lead Chromate confirms the presence of
Lead Naphthanate in the compound.

Sales :

(1) Please refer clause 5.1.4 & 5.1.5 of EIL Specification 6-51-0051, Rev. 06 regarding test
certificate for ultra violet radiation resistance test,accelerated water absorption test and do
the needful.

Regarding ultra violet radiation resistance test as per DIN 53387 or ASTM-G 154 on outer
sheath,please note that test duration is not specified in EIL spn.,however we have to get this test
done at CPRI bangalore or we can produce test certificate not older than one year from any
recognised test lab or inhouse testing before dispatching clearance of the cable.min tensile
strength and % of elongation shall be 60 % after the test.
