Title
Standard Specification for Polyethylene Plastics Extrusion Materials for Wire and Cable
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Mar 1, 2005
Scope:
(Footnote *)
This specification provides for the identification of polyethylene
plastics extrusion materials for
wire and cable in such a manner that the seller and the purchaser can
agree on the acceptability of
different commercial lots or shipments. The tests involved in this
specification are intended to
provide information for identifying materials according to the types,
classes, categories, and
grades covered. It is not the function of this specification to
provide specific engineering data
for design purposes.
This specification does not allow for the use of recycled plastics
(see Note 3).
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test method
portion, Section 12, of this
specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any,
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this
standard to establish
appropriate safety and health practices and determine the
applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use.
NOTE 1 - No ISO equivalent.
NOTE 2 - This standard has undergone major revision from the
reapproval of 1989 and now covers only
polyethylene for wire and cable applications. For information
regarding molding and extrusion
materials, see Specification D 4976. For information regarding plastic
pipe materials, see
Specification D 3350.
NOTE 3 - See Guide D 5033 for information and definitions related to
recycled plastics.
