specimen in the same position in the test cycle. The cycling may be halted to

perform the change in optical transmittance measurement.

Radial compression:

Applicable.

Impact: 50 cycles at +25OC � 2OC and 20 cycles at -40OC � 2OC. Minor jacket

damage such as splitting or cracking is permitted at the low test temperature.

Hosing:

Low pressure applicable, except the cable leakage shall be not greater

than 135 ml.

Operating: -28OC to +65OC.

Nonoperating: -40OC to +70OC.

Storage: -40OC to +70OC.

Temperature cycling: Change in optical transmittance measurements may be made

periodically. At a minimum, one optical transmittance measurement shall be made

over a period of one hour at the end of each temperature plateau.

Temperature humidity cycling: Change in optical transmittance measurements may

be made periodically. At a minimum, one optical transmittance measurement shall

be made at the end of each temperature plateau.

Storage temperature:

Applicable.

Weathering:

Applicable.

Fluid Immersion: Exposure to automobile gasoline and tap water are not required

and the test temperature for lubricating oil exposure shall be 73OC to 77OC. The

tensile strength retention of the cable jacket material after exposure to

hydraulic fluid shall be not less than 30 percent.

Flame extinguishing:

Applicable.

Smoke generation and flame propagation: Applicable, except the pass/fail

criteria shall be as follows. The peak optical density and the average optical

density of smoke produced shall be not greater than 0.5 and 0.15 respectively.

In addition, the flame spread-time product at the 10 minute point shall be not

greater than 27.5 meters-minutes when calculated in accordance with ASTM-E-84.

Shock:

Applicable.

Paint susceptibility:

Applicable.

Electromagnetic effects:

Applicable.
