OIL RESISTANCE
FOR CABLES
TEST
(Reaffirmed 2016)
(Reaffirmed 2010)
. Scope - This method covers the procedure of oil resistance test applicable to insulation/non-
netallic sheafhing materials of electric cable.
(Reaffirmed 2015)
!. Significance - This test is done to ascertain the resistance to oil of insulation/non-metallic
;heath. This property is checked by measurements
(Reaffirmed 2009)
of tensile strength and elongation of break Of
naterials after ageing in specified oils and comparing these with the values obtained for unaged
naterials.
(Reaffirmed 2014)
1. Terminology - See 3.1 to 3.4 of IS : 10810 (Part 7)-1984 ’ Methods of test for cables : Part 7
rensile strength and elongation at break of thermoplastic and elastomeric insulation (Reaffirmed 2008)
and sheath’.
I. Apparatus-As given below in 4.1 and 4.2, in addition to those required for tensile strength and
elongation at break of insulation and sheath in accordance with IS : 10810 (Part 7 )-1984.
(Reaffirmed 2013)
i.l Ventilated Air Oven
(Reaffirmed 2007)
1.2 Thermometer - 2OO”C, least count 1°C.
i. Material - Petroleum based oil, SAE 30 viscosity grade as specified ‘Auto-
fin IS : 496-l 982
notive internal combustion engine lubricating oils ( fourth revision )‘.
(Reaffirmed 2012)
(Reaffirmed 2006)
5. Test Specimen
5.1 Test specimen details given in 6 of IS : 10810 ( Part 7 )-1984 shall be applicable.
(Reaffirmed 2011)
6.2 Number of Specimens-Four in each case of insulation or sheath, in addition to those
required for testing without ageing. (Reaffirmed 2005)
7. Conditioning - All specimens shall be kept at a temperature of 27 f 2°C for a period of not less
than 3 h ~prior to testing.
(Reaffirmed 2010)
B. Procedure
8.1 Test for tensile strength and elongation
at break shall be carried out on four specimens (with-
out ageing in oil ) of insulation or sheath in accordance with IS : 10810 ( Part 7 )-I984 if the results
are not available otherwise. (Reaffirmed 2009)
6.2 Other four similar specimens shall be immersed in oil (see 5 ) at a temperature of 100 f 2°C
for a period of 24 houis. After this ageing, the specimens shall be taken out of oil. The excess oil
shall be removed with blotting paper and the specimens shall be submitted to tensile ~strength and
elongation at break in accordance with IS : 10810 (Part 7) - 1984.

10. Calculation
10.1 Tensile strength and elongation at break, before and after ageing shall be calculated as given
in IS : 10810 (Part 7)-1984.
