Overview
EN 6059-305:2019 - Part 305: Fluid absorption is a CEN European Standard in the aerospace series that defines a test method to verify the fluid‑repellent properties of protection sleeves used for electrical cables and cable bundles. It is intended to be used together with EN 6059-100 (Part 100: General) and specifies how to perform a controlled drip (fluid absorption) test to confirm that a sleeve prevents fluid reaching underlying absorbing material.
Keywords: EN 6059-305:2019, protection sleeves, fluid absorption, aerospace cables, test methods, fluid repellent properties.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Method to verify fluid repellent behaviour of protection sleeves for electrical cable installations in aerospace applications.
- Test specimen:
- Length 40 mm to 60 mm.
- Tubular sleeves are cut longitudinally and fixed with tape/adhesive to avoid debrading.
- Fluid: Use the fluid(s) specified in the relevant product standard. If water is used, it must be distilled or demineralised water (ISO 3696 Type 2).
- Apparatus and drip control:
- Drip aperture minimum 2.5 mm (bottle or pump).
- Distance between aperture and specimen minimum 70 mm.
- Drop rate 20–25 drops per minute and delivered volume minimum 1.35 ml/min.
- Test setup:
- Specimen placed flat on an exposure table over a dry absorbing material (which changes colour/shade on contact with fluid).
- Specimen contacts absorbing material at drip location with as little load as possible; pressure applied on both sides to keep specimen flat but no specified pressure in the drip area.
- Acceptance and recording:
- After the drip time (as defined in the product standard), the absorbing material shall be free of fluid.
- Results must be recorded within five (5) minutes following the end of dripping.
Practical applications and users
- Who uses it:
- Aerospace cable and harness manufacturers, protection sleeve suppliers, test laboratories, quality/acceptance engineers, procurement and certification bodies.
- Uses:
- Qualification and lot acceptance testing of sleeves and sleeving materials used around aircraft electrical cables and bundles.
- Verifying design or material changes that could affect fluid repellency (hydraulic fluids, de‑icing fluids, water).
- Supporting procurement specifications and compliance evidence for installations exposed to fluids.
Related standards
- EN 6059-100 - Aerospace series: Protection sleeves - Test methods - Part 100: General (to be used together with Part 305).
- ISO 3696 - Water for analytical laboratory use - Specification and test methods (referenced for distilled/demineralised water quality).
EN 6059-305:2019 provides a simple, repeatable drip test to certify protection sleeves against fluid ingress - a critical requirement for reliable electrical installations in aerospace environments.
