The finished compound shall be free of all foreign matter other than intended formulation additives. The material shall conform to the specified chemical and physical property requirements such as: (1) restricted shrinkage, (2) specific gravity, (3) longitudinal change, (4) tensile modulus at elongation, (5) volume resistivity, (6) dielectric breakdown voltage, (7) heat resistance, (8) low-temperature flexibility, and (9) melting point. The dimensional requirements after unrestrictive shrinkage such as inside diameter, wall thickness, and stock lengths are specified. The sampling and test methods to determine conformance to the specified requirements are given.

Overview
ASTM D2902-21 is the standard specification developed by ASTM International for fluoropolymer resin heat-shrinkable tubing used as electrical insulation. This specification covers flexible, extruded heat-shrinkable tubing made from three major types of fluoropolymer materials:
- Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) resin
- Copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene (FEP)
- Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) resin
The tubing is intended for electrical insulation applications where high performance, chemical resistance, and reliability are essential. The standard defines requirements for tubing dimensions, material properties, manufacturing methods, and testing protocols to ensure product quality and consistency.
Key Topics
Material Types and Manufacturing
- Type I: TFE tubing, typically produced by paste extrusion, heat-shrinkable at 327°C (621°F).
- Type II: FEP tubing, produced by melt extrusion, heat-shrinkable at 150°C (302°F).
- Type III: PFA tubing, produced by melt extrusion, heat-shrinkable at 175°C (347°F).
Essential Characteristics
- Chemical and physical properties such as specific gravity, restricted shrinkage, and longitudinal change.
- Requirements for tensile modulus at elongation, volume resistivity, and dielectric breakdown voltage to guarantee electrical insulation performance.
- Resistance to high temperatures and flexibility at low temperatures for robust protection across applications.
- Melting point specifications to assist in material selection and compatibility.
Dimensional Requirements
- Minimum and maximum inside diameters and wall thicknesses after unrestricted shrinkage are specified.
- Tubing is available in various stock lengths and packaging options, with provisions for custom dimensions on agreement.
Workmanship and Quality Assurance
- The tubing must be free from foreign matter, flaws, or defects that could impact performance.
- Color options include clear and custom colors as agreed between supplier and purchaser.
- Sampling and testing regimes ensure all batches meet the standard's requirements.
Applications
Fluoropolymer heat-shrinkable tubing specified by ASTM D2902-21 is widely used in:
- Electrical insulation of wires, terminals, and components in demanding environments.
- Protection against moisture, chemicals, and mechanical abrasion in aerospace, automotive, marine, and industrial sectors.
- Bundling and organizing wire harnesses for reduced electrical shorts or interference.
- Applications requiring tubing with high thermal stability and electrical performance.
Manufacturers, installers, and design engineers value ASTM D2902-21 compliant tubing for its reliability and suitability in high-voltage, high-reliability, and hazardous environments due to its excellent electrical and chemical properties.

9. Workmanship
9.1 The heat-shrinkable tubing shall be homogeneous and free from flaws and defects and from foreign matter that have the
potential to compromise its performance.
9.2 Type I tubing shall be furnished in clear (transparent milk white to tan) or in a color as agreed between purchaser and seller.
9.3 Type II tubing shall be furnished in clear (water white to transparent light blue) or in a color as agreed between purchaser and
seller.
9.4 Type III tubing shall be furnished in clear (transparent water white) or in a color as agreed between the purchaser and seller.
10. Sampling
10.1 A lot shall consist of all material manufactured from a single lot of resin at the same time and place.
NOTE 2—In view of the batch nature of fluoropolymer resin extrusion involving relatively short runs, single lots of product have the potential to include
different sizes or wall thicknesses or both.
10.2 Properties shall be permitted to be tested at any stage in processing when they are unaffected by subsequent processing.
10.3 Select a quantity of the product at random in accordance with Practice D3636 and Table 5 from each lot as defined in 10.1.
10.4 Statistical process control measurements shall be permitted to be used to demonstrate conformance in lieu of the sampling
plan noted herein when the demonstrated process capability is greater than the specified AQL.
11. Tests and Retests
11.1 If the results of any test, except for attributes listed in Table 3Tables 3 and 4 and Table 4, do not conform to the requirements
prescribed in this specification, perform two additional tests on different specimens from the same lot. Nonconformance to or Table
4 requirements on the first inspection are cause for rejection.
11.2 If either of the two additional tests fail, the purchaser has the option to reject the lot of material. Notice of nonconformance
observed by the purchaser based on tests made according to this specification shall be reported to the manufacturer within 60 days
from receipt of the material.
