Optical fibres - Part 1-30: Measurement methods and test procedures - Fibre proof test IEC 60793-1-30/FRAGF ED2

Scope

IEC 60793-1-30:2010 describes procedures for briefly applying a specified tensile load as a proof test to continuous lengths of optical fibre. The tensile load is applied for as short a time as possible, yet sufficiently long to ensure the glass experiences the proof stress, typically much less than one second. This method is applicable to types A1, A2, A3 and B optical fibres. The object of this standard is to establish uniform requirements for the mechanical characteristic fibre proof test. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2001 and constitutes a technical revision. The main change with respect to the previous edition is an improved description of the procedure.
