BRITISH STANDARD BS 7970:2012

Annex A Die penetrant test for weld integrity

(normative)
A 0.5 m long sample of metal sheath complete with oversheath shall be cut in
two longitudinally so that the weld is at the centre of one of the pieces. The
oversheath shall be removed from the sheath in the region of the weld, and the
surfaces thoroughly cleaned to remove all traces of oversheath material or
bonding adhesive which might be present at the weld.
NOTE 1 A proprietary aerosol die penetrant kit should be used for the following
procedure; specific manufacturer’s instructions should be followed.
Die penetrant shall be sprayed over the full length of the weld on both inside
and outside surfaces of the metal sheath so that the weld surface is covered
with die penetrant. If the die penetrant forms droplets or does not wet the
surfaces fully then the surfaces shall be re-cleaned with solvent. The die
penetrant shall be allowed to remain on the weld for 30 min.
The surface shall be wipe-cleaned with a clean cloth, using solvent on the cloth
as necessary to remove all the surface die penetrant. Solvent shall not be
applied directly to the weld as this can make the test ineffective.
The developer shall be mixed thoroughly by shaking the can. The weld surfaces
shall be sprayed with developer just enough to wet the surface thinly and
evenly.
NOTE 2 When correctly applied, the developer dries to an even white layer.
The developer shall then be allowed to dry.
The surfaces of the weld shall be examined with normal or corrected vision,
without magnification.
NOTE 3 Defects are marked by a deep-coloured (normally red) indication. A line or
dotted line marks a crack, lap, forging burst or cold shut. If wide and deep, the
indication is likely to grow and spread. Porosity, shrinkage, lack of bond and leaks
appear as dots or local areas of colour; these, too, are likely to grow and spread if
the defect is large or extensive.

Annex B Test for peel strength of overlapped metal foil

(normative)
A sample specimen 200 mm in length shall be taken from the cable including
the overlapped portion of the metal foil. The test specimen shall be prepared by
cutting only the overlapped portion from this sample as shown in Figure B.1.
The test shall be conducted in the same manner as described in Annex C. The
arrangement of the test specimen shall be as shown in Figure B.2.

Annex C Test for adhesion strength of metal foil

(normative)
The test specimen shall be taken from the cable covering where the metal foil is
adhered to the oversheath.
The length and width of the test specimen shall be 200 mm and 10 mm
respectively.
One end of the test specimen shall be peeled between 50 mm and 120 mm and
inserted in a tensile testing machine by clamping the free end of the oversheath
or the insulation screen in one grip. The free end of the metal foil shall be
turned back and clamped in the other grip as shown in Figure C.1.
The specimen shall be maintained approximately vertical in the plane of the
grips during the test by holding the specimen.
After adjusting the continuous recording device, the metal foil shall be stripped
from the specimen at an angle of approximately 180° and the separation
continued for a sufficient distance to indicate the adhesion strength value. At
least one half of the remaining bonded area shall be peeled with a speed of
approximately 50 mm/min.

Annex D Test for impact

(normative)
The test shall be carried out at (20 ±15) °C and performed by dropping a weight
of 5 kg from a height of 1 m on a cable sample 1 m in length. At the impact
point, the weight shall have a 90° corner angle with a 2 mm radius of curvature.
The shape of the weight and the test configuration shall be in accordance with
Figure D.1. One impact shall successively be made at five different points along
the cable, rotating the cable through 90° between impacts, starting and
finishing on the metal foil overlap or longitudinal weld. The distance between
two adjacent impacts shall be greater than 100 mm.
The sample shall then be examined with normal or corrected vision, without
magnification.

Annex E Test for sidewall loading

(normative)
The test shall be carried out at (20 ±15) °C on a suitable length of unconditioned
cable such that the required 3 × 1 m test pieces can be cut from the centre of a
5 m length that has been subjected to the test at a specified load.
NOTE 1 Where applicable, 2 × 1 m test pieces are required for the test in Annex F.
The sidewall loading shall be applied by pulling the cable around a fixed wheel
the circumference of which shall contain a number of rollers 50 mm to 100 mm
in diameter. The cable shall be in contact with the wheel for at least 90° during
the test. The foil overlap or longitudinal weld shall be in contact with the fixed
wheel for first pass forwards and backwards around the wheel. The diameter of
the fixed wheel shall be not greater than the diameter for the bend test defined
in BS 7912:2012, 12.5.
If the two end portions of the cable (marked as “X” in Figure E.1 and Figure E.2)
do not pass fully around the rollers, they do not constitute part of the cable
under test. In this case, they shall not be part of the examination at the end of
the test.
If desired, a number of samples can be tested in series as one length, changing
the tension between samples, or successively, as one length. In this case, any
cable within the fixed wheel when the tension is changed shall not be used for
subsequent tests.
NOTE 2 Examples of two possible test arrangements are shown in Figure E.1 and
Figure E.2.
Tension shall be set at the beginning of the test, and necessary variations while
the cable is moving can be discounted. The tension shall be measured at the end
of the test. If it has reduced by more than 10%, then this reduced value of
tension shall be used to calculate the sidewall loading, otherwise the initial
tension shall be used.

10 • © The British Standards Institution 2012

BRITISH STANDARD BS 7970:2012

The cable shall be passed forwards and backwards round the fixed wheel under
a sidewall loading of T/R, where T is the tension in the steel wire, in Newtons,
applied by the apparatus and R is the fixed wheel radius in metres. The cable
sample shall then be rotated through 180° and the operation repeated.
The value of tension used for the test shall be determined either:
a) from the maximum permitted sidewall loading for the cable, in Newtons per
metre (N/m) given by the manufacturer; or
b) using the maximum pulling force for the cable recommended by the
manufacturer, in which case the sidewall loading shall be calculated in
Newtons per metre (N/m).
A 1 m section shall be taken from the cable tested at each value of tension and
sidewall loading, other than from the ends, and shall be examined and conform
to 6.3.2 or 6.3.3.
If tests have been carried out at different levels of sidewall loading, the
maximum sidewall loading for the cable shall correspond to the highest value
applied to a sample conforming to 6.3.2 or 6.3.3.
The result shall be declared as the maximum sidewall loading for the cable in
Newtons per metre (N/m).

Annex F Test for corrosion

(normative)
The test shall be carried out on two 1 m samples of cable (not taken from the
ends) previously subjected to the sidewall loading test (Annex E).
All the samples, the ends of which shall be sealed, shall be immersed to a depth
of 0.5 m in a solution of 1% NaCl, 1% Na2SO4 with NaOH added to adjust the
pH to 8.5 ±0.5. The temperature of the solution shall be maintained at
(70 ±3) °C during the test.
The samples shall be removed from the solution after 3 000 h immersion.
The combined oversheath and metal sheath shall be removed from the samples
and examined with normal or corrected vision, without magnification.
