    As Received Specimens Tensile Strength 70%
    After Oil Immersion (SAE 20 oil)Oil Temperature 70oC
    Time 4 hours
    Mininum percent of results obtained on Elongation 75%
    As Received Specimens Tensile Strength
    DeformationThe thickness of sample shall not decrease more than 35%, after one hour at temperature (131oC) and load. (2000g) (for sheet sample)
    Cold-BendThe tubing shall not crack at all when a specimen of finished tubing is exposed to a temperature of -30 + -1oC (CSA) for 1 hour and even if in this temperature wrapped 6 times around the mandrel.
    Heat-ShockThe tubing shall show no cracks when the tubing is wound 6 adjacent turns around a metal mandrel having a diameter equal to the outside diameter of the tubing, after being exposed to a temperature of 131o, 14 days.
    Dielectric withstand and break downNo changed for 60 sec. or longer at 2,500V (UL). The breakdown potential obtained on the aged specimen shall not be less than 50% of the breakdown potential obtained on the unaged tubing.
    Longitudinal change+ -5% after 2 hours in a full-draft circulating-air oven at 100oC
    Flammability (VW-1 Flame Test)Sample shall not flame for more than 60 sec. after five 15 second application of a test flame to a vertically supported test sample, with an interval of 15 second between successive application of the flame. The test sample shall not convey flame during or after the application of the flame
    Insulation resistance at 15.6oCA 15-foot length of finished tubing containing a barecopper conductor shall be coiled and immersed in tap water, except for 2.5 feet at each end of the specimen. The specimen shall be immersed for 24 hours and during the last hour the water shall be maintained at 15.6oC. At the end of the 24 hours period, and while the specimen is still immersed at 15.6oC, the insulation resistance of the tubing shall be measured. Finished tubing shall have an insulation resistance at 15.6oC of not less than 1010 ohms per 1 meter.
