SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D2671
1. Scope
1.1 These test methods cover the testing of heat-shrinkable tubing used for electrical insulation. Materials used include poly(vinyl chloride), polyolefins, fluorocarbon polymers, silicone rubber, and other plastic or elastomeric compounds.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are the standard except for temperature, which shall be expressed in degrees Celsius. Values stated in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 The procedures appear in the following sections:
