| Mandrel Bend Test | 46-52 | D 149, D 876 |
| Melting Point | 41-45 | D 3418, D 4895 |
| Penetration Test | 26 and 27 | D 876 |
| Specific Gravity | 36-40 | D 792, D 1505 |
| Strain Relief | 31-35 | ... |
| Volatile Loss | 20-25 | ... |
| Wall Thickness | 14-19 | ... |
Note 1These test methods are similar but not identical to those in IEC 60684-2.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are the standard except for temperature, which is stated in degrees Celsius. Values in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific warning statements, see Section 5.
