Conduits are tested in-house at up to 10 bar. (equivalent to 100m underwater) 9 Steam clean, high pressure high temp jet wash IP68 IP68 IP68 IP68 IP tests are type tests of short duration and do not guarantee long term performance. EN 60529 states that equipment conforming to IP67 or IP68 cannot be assumed to meet IP66 and that the manufacturer shall declare the pressure and duration of the test, for example, FPAX 2 bar for 2 hours. IP ratings guide Technical Data IP Rating and Technical Guidance Application advice Flexicon can offer impartial advice on which of our wide range of conduit systems are most suited to your application. Factors which may be important include:- Standards, performance and approvals Flexicon conduits and fittings are manufactured by Flexicon to comply with the IEC and European conduit standard BS EN IEC 61386 - see classification table below. Certain tests are carried out internally by Flexicon, other testing is carried out externally by accredited test laboratories. Specific test reports are available upon request. Vibration and shock testing to EN61373 Cat 2. Certain conduit systems have been tested and approved to the relevant parts of the Australian Standard AS/ NZS 2053:3 2001. Where product performance data over and above the requirements of BS EN IEC 61386 is provided e.g: Low Fire Hazard testing and EMC screening, other appropriate standards have been used. Cable glands are manufactured to EN 50262. • Compression strength • Tensile strength • Impact strength • Temperature range • Flexibility • Fatigue life • Electrical insulation or continuity • IP rating • Chemical resistance • Corrosion resistance • Abrasion resistance • UV resistance • Anti vibration • Fire performance • EMC screening • Dimensions • Weight 12th digit Suspended Load N/48hr 0 None declared 0 None declared None declared 1 V.
