MIL-PRF-85045/20B
Cable scraping resistance: 750 cycles
Cable-to-cable abrasion: 500 cycles
Environmental properties:
Temperature range:
Operating:
-28 to +65 °C
Nonoperating:
-40 to +70 °C
Storage:
-40 to +70 °C
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 1 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.
Temperature life (life aging): Applicable, except that the jacket material shall be tested at +175 °C for 4 hours.
Weathering: Applicable.
Fluid immersion: Exposure to automobile gasoline and tap water are not required and the following test
temperatures shall be used for the fluids indicated: fuel oil (98 to 100 °C), turbine fuel (48 to 50 °C), and lubricating
oil (98 to 100 °C).
Chemical properties:
Halogen content: <0.2 percent
Cross-link verification: This test is applicable for cables with cross-linked jackets only. The test shall be
conducted in accordance with ICEA standard T-28-562 and run at 200 °C. The test shall be in the qualification test
sequence using a specimen cut from the sample used in the thermal shock test and in the Group III testing of the
Group C conformance test sequence. The hot creep shall not exceed 100 percent, and the hot creep set shall not
exceed 10 percent.
