4. Equipment 1. A tensile test machine (Example- Instron Model 1156) or an equivalent system of separate components that provide the following: a. Equipment shall be adequate for the load being tested with a system accuracy of +0.5 percent. b. A movable crosshead capable of constant travel at 2 inches/minute C. Chart recorder or similar feature capable of providing a plot of crosshead extension vs. load. 2. Appropriate adapters to connect test sample between crosshead and base. See Figure 1 for typical connector adapter. 3. Cable and connectors 4. Cable preparation & installation tools 5. Temperature Chamber capable of maintaining a constant test temperature between- 40 °F to 140 °F. 6. Applicable Safety Equipment (Safety Glasses, Equipment Guards, etc., as required)
5. Test Sample PREPARATION 5.1. Center Conductor to Pin Connector 5.1.1.Prepare a four-inch (4″) minimum length of center conductor with all dielectric removed. Note: It may be necessary to prepare an additional section of cable outer conductor (shield) and jacket (if applicable) with the center conductor and dielectric removed. Position the cable shield (and jacket if applicable) into the connector back nut assembly. Ensure this section of cable does not interfere with the center conductor gripping mechanism of the tensile test equipment and/or connector. 5.1.2.Using the connector manufacturer’ s recommended tightening procedures, install and tighten prepared center conductor into a connector. 5.1 .3. Select appropriate test fixture to grip center conductor, or prepare a second pin connector as shown in figure 3 below. 5.1.4. Attach test fixtures (adapters) to the Pin connector(s) (or center conductor) as required. Secure connector center conductor pin to fixture prior to testing to prevent pin movement.5.2. Outer Conductor* (Shield) to Pin Connector 5.2. 1.Prepare an appropriate length of cable using cable preparation tools as recommended by the connector and/or cable manufacturer. 5.2.2.Cut the center conductor of cable flush with the end of the Outer Conductor* (Shield). 5.2.3. Install prepared cable into the connector under test using the connector manufacturer’ s recommended installation procedures. 5.2.4.Select appropriate test fixture to grip cable outer conductor, or prepare a second pin connector as shown in Figure 4 below . 5.2.5. Attach test fixtures (adapters) to the Pin connectors(s) or cable as required. * May include flooding compounds and cable jacket.5.3. Combined Center Conductor and Outer Conductor* (Shield) to Pin Connector 5.3.1. Prepare an appropriate length of cable using cable preparation tools as recommended by the connector and/or cable manufacturer. 5.3.2. Install prepared cable into the connector under test using the connector manufacturer’ s recommended installation procedures. 5.3.3. Select appropriate test fixture to grip the cable, or prepare a second pin connector as shown in Figure 5 below. 5.3.4. Attach test fixtures (adapters) to the Pin connectors(s) or cable as required. ● May include flooding compounds and cable jacket.6. Test Procedure WARNING! PROCEED WITH CAUTION! Failure to follow test equipment operational instruction could result in serious bodily injury or property damage! 6.1. Verify that the units under test are at the specified test temperature prior to performing any tests. 6.1.1.DUT shall be conditioned for a minimum of 1 hour at test temperature prior to test. 6.2. Install the DUT into the tensile test system using the necessary fixtures, adapters and anchor pins. Caution: Use extreme care to avoid personal injury and/or damage to equipment. NOTE: DUT may be conditioned in a temperature chamber and transferred to test apparatus and conducting test in a timely manner. DUT may be conditioned on the test apparaturs using a temperature chamber enclosure designed to surround the DUT while being tested.ANSI SCTE 102 pdf download.
