Fiber Optics Test Methods and Instrumentation
SAE International
Publication Date:
Aug 1, 1999
Scope:
Purpose:
This standard gives the general physical, electrical and chemical
methods for testing fiber optics
cables for conformance with the requirements. It was prepared in order
to eliminate unnecessary or
undesirable variation in testing procedures. This standard does not
include special test methods
applicable to certain fiber optics cables which are described in the
appropriate specifications,
nor does it include all the test methods for fiber optics cable used
in industry. In instance of
conflict between the provisions of those test methods and those of the
individual test procedures
or specifications for particular material, the latter shall take
precedence.
Application of test methods:
Test methods contained in this standard apply to all items of
equipment. WHEN IT IS KNOWN THAT THE
EQUIPMENT WILL ENCOUNTER CONDITIONS MORE SEVERE OR LESS SEVERE THAN
THE ENVIRONMENTAL LEVELS STATED
HEREIN, THE TEST MAY BE MODIFIED BY THE EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATION.
Numbering system:
New methods: A method number will be assigned so that the new method
is located close to the
methods of similar or related tests.
Revision of existing methods: Revision of test methods are indicated
by a letter following the
method number. For example, 3111, if modified or changed, would be
3111A, the second revision,
3111B, etc.
Method of reference:
Test methods contained herein shall be referenced by specifying:
a. This standard number
b. Method number. The letter following the method number shall not be
used when referencing test
methods. For example, use 1010, not 1010A.
c. Procedure number
d. Details required in the results paragraph of the applicable method.
e. Other data as called for in the individual test method.
