Cable Polymer Aging Database, Version 1.0

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:807448

OAK B139 The database contains electrical-cable jacket and insulation aging data from nine U.S. and international research institutions. The institutions have provided condition monitoring results from numerous accelerated aging test programs for cable materials including neoprene, Hypalon, ethylene propylene rubber, cross-linked polyethylene, and polyvinyl chloride. The condition monitoring techniques include elongation at break, indenter modulus, oxygen induction time, density , swell/gel, and nuclear magnetic resonance in solution.
