1. Scope

1.1?This specification applies to flexible, crosslinked and noncrosslinked poly(vinyl chloride) heat-shrinkable tubing for electrical insulating purposes. It is supplied in an expanded form and will shrink to its extruded diameter when heated.

Note 1:?This standard is similar but not identical to IEC 606843201.

1.2?The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.2.1?In some cases (including the title), temperatures are described in degrees Celsius only.

1.3?This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
