NOTES ON FRLS AND FR SHEATHED CABLES


Oxygen Index (ASTM D 2863)

The criterion for burning is presence of percentage of oxygen in air. By mixing oxygen and
nitrogen at various percentages this test finds at what percentage of oxygen the standard
specimen starts burning. Higher the oxygen index higher the resistance to get ignited. Min.
oxygen index shall be 30%.
Temperature Index (ASTM D 2863)

Temperature index is the temperature at which the oxygen index of the material becomes 21.
This test is carried out usually by extrapolation after the oxygen index is measured at various
temperatures. Minimum temperature index shall be 250 C.
Smoke Density (ASTM D 2843)

This parameter relates to measuring and observing relative amounts of smoke produced by the
burning or decomposition of materials. This test is carried out in accordance with ASTM D 2843.
The measurements are made in terms of loss of light transmission through a collected volume
of smoke produced under control standardized conditions. Generally requirement by customer
is smoke density rating less than 60%.
Acid Gas Emission (IEC 60754-1)

During burning of cable materials acid gases are evolved especially hydrogen chloride. The gas
emission is evaluated in accordance with test method IEC 60754-1, where approximately 1 gm.
of the material is pyrolysed at 800 0C in a combustion tube and resultant gases are analyzed.
Flame Retardance (IEC 60332-1)

A single cable sample is clamped vertically. The Bunsen or other similar burner is arranged at
45 Degree to the axis of the cable sample, applying flame at 475 mm below to top clamp. The
flame is applied for a period of time depending upon the diameter of the cable.
The test requirement is that after all burning has ceased the charred or affected portion shall
not have reached within 50 mm from the top clamp.
Flame Retardance Test (IEC 60332 -3)
This test is carried out to check flame retardant properties of bunched cables. Three categories of tests
namely category "A", "B" and "C" have been defined according to quantity of combustible material
available over unit length. Cable pieces are tied on vertical ladder and flame is applied from a horizontal
ladder. After the specified time the burner is removed. All parameters are pre defined according to
specification. The charred portion is measured and compared with the standards to decide on acceptability.

CABLE CARE
PRESERVATION/STORING & HANDLING OF CABLE DRUMS
1. STORAGE
a) The site chosen for storage of cable drums should be well-drained and should preferably have a
concrete surface, which will not cause the drums to sink and so lead to flange rot and cause extreme
difficulty in moving the drums.
b) The drums should be stored in such a manner as to leave sufficient space between them for air
circulation. It is desirable for the drums to stand on battens placed directly under the flanges.
c) In no case shall the drums be stored on the flat side i.e. with flanges horizontal.
d) For drums, overhead shade is not essential except in areas where the rainfall is heavy.

The cables should however be protected from direct rays of Sun by leaving the battens on or by
providing some form of sun shielding.
e) Cable ends must be sealed against water ingress at all times.
2 HANDLING
a) The drums should be rolled only in the direction of the arrow, indicated on them.
b) No cable drums shall be slung except by a bar through the center bore. Also the cable drums shall
be stored away from Boilers or Furnaces.
c) When unloading the drums from truck, a crane or forklift should be used if available and the drums
carefully lifted and deposited on the ground. If crane is not available then the drums should be
carefully rolled down a suitably arranged ramp or rail. Under no circumstances should the drums
be dropped to the ground, as the shock may cause serious damage to the inner layers of the cables.
d) Transportation over long distance, from storage site to work spots The drums should be mounted
on cable drum wheels strong enough to carry the weight of the drums, which are pulled by means
of rope, or alternatively they may be mounted on trailer or vehicle with low loading platform for
transportation to the destination.

INSTALLATION
OCI cables are suitable for installation in the ground, duct or air as recommended by all standards and
specifications. OCI cables are easier to handle and install.
Wherever possible, installation radius should be kept large as possible. For all the cables covered in this
catalogue it should not be less than 15 times of overall diameter of the cable.

Special Guidelines for LSF (LSOH/LSZH) sheathed cables


LSF (low smoke & fume) (LSOH/LSZH) sheath does not have the same mechanical strength as other
sheath material, particularly at higher temperatures.
It is therefore recommended that LSF (LSOH/LZH) sheathed cables should be used mainly indoors, and
only where cables have been specified to have low smoke and toxic gas emission property.
Installation
We recommend the following special guidelines, in conjunction with the standard installation instructions.

The cables should be stored in proper packed condition, in the shade and direct exposure to sun should
be avoided.
As LSF (LSOH/LSZH) has lower tear strength property as compared to PVC/PE sheath, special care should
be taken during installation to avoid any damage. Even a small cut on the LSF (LSOH/LSZH) sheath
could result in sheath cracking, as it will run in longitudinal direction due to lower tear strength
property of LSF (LSOH/LSZH) sheath.
Use pay in rollers and corner rollers of non-metallic material (Nylon or Teflon) at least every 3 to 4 meters
while laying the cable.
As far as possible installation should be undercover or indoors. For outdoor installation, direct exposure
to sunlight should be avoided by using a suitable cable tray.
The cables should not be in contact with any hot surface.
The requirement of minimum bending radius should be followed as per data sheet.
Any clamping device should not be applied directly on the outer sheath. There should be some cushion
(for instance a rubber pad of approx. 3 mm thickness) between the cables outer sheath and clamps.
Maximum distance of unsupported length of cable for horizontal and vertical run should be as below:

Overall diameter of
cable (mm)

Max. spacing between the


supports for horizontal run (mm)

Max. spacing between the


supports for vertical run (mm)

Re-winding
In case re-winding should be necessary, extreme caution should be taken during the process to avoid
damage. The following should be adhered to:

The winding should be done equally and uniformly with no over-riding of the coils or pinching on the
sides of the drum.

The pay-off drum should have an adequate braking system to prevent the cable from coming loose on
the drum.
