SIST EN 60684-3-136:2001

SIST EN 60684-3-136:2001 is a Slovenian standard published by SIST for flexible insulating sleeving. It specifies requirements for non-heat-shrinkable, extruded fluorosilicone sleeving for general purpose use, including the material family and the size range normally offered. It is meant for engineers, buyers, and quality staff who need a defined sleeving type for electrical insulation work.

What does SIST EN 60684-3-136:2001 specify?

SIST EN 60684-3-136:2001 specifies a single product type within the Flexible insulating sleeving series: Sheet 136 for extruded fluorosilicone sleeving - General purpose. The document focuses on sleeving made from compounds based on fluorosilicone rubber and classifies it as non-heat-shrinkable.

In practical terms, the standard is used when a design or procurement file needs one exact sleeving material and construction, not a broad family of tubing products. The scope also gives the normal size window for this type of sleeving: internal diameters up to 25 mm and wall thicknesses between 0.1 mm and 2.0 mm.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 60684-3-136:2001?

The most important points in SIST EN 60684-3-136:2001 are the product definition, the material basis, and the size range. These are the details a reader uses to decide whether the sleeving fits the application and whether a delivered product matches the sheet.

• Non-heat-shrinkable sleeving - The sleeving is intended to keep its size rather than shrink when heated. In practice, this matters when the sleeve must stay stable over a cable, wire, or component after installation.
• Extruded construction - The sleeving is extruded, which means it is made as a continuous formed product. This is relevant for consistent tubing geometry and for checking that the supplied item matches the specified product form.
• Fluorosilicone rubber base - The sleeving is made from compounds based on fluorosilicone rubber. For users, this is the key material identifier when selecting insulation that must match this polymer family.
• General purpose use - The sheet is for a general purpose sleeving type. That tells specifiers to use it as a standard insulating sleeve rather than a special-purpose variant.
• Internal diameter up to 25 mm - The scope states the normal available internal diameter range. Buyers and designers use this to confirm fit over the part being sleeved.
• Wall thickness from 0.1 mm to 2.0 mm - The standard defines the usual wall thickness range. This helps when balancing flexibility, fit, and insulation needs.
• Part 3, Sheet 136 - The document belongs to the Part 3 series of individual sleeving types. In practice, this exact sheet number is important so that users do not mix it with other sleeving materials or constructions in the same series.

What terms does SIST EN 60684-3-136:2001 define?

• Flexible insulating sleeving - Sleeving used as electrical insulation that can bend and fit around conductors or components.
• Non-heat-shrinkable - A sleeve that does not shrink to a smaller size when heated.
• Extruded - Formed by pushing material through a shaped opening to create a continuous sleeving profile.
• Fluorosilicone rubber - The rubber family named in the sheet as the base material for the sleeving compounds.
• General purpose - A designation for the standard sleeving type intended for broad, everyday insulation use.
• Internal diameter - The inside size of the sleeve, which determines what it can fit over.
• Wall thickness - The thickness of the sleeve wall, which affects flexibility and physical build.

Who uses SIST EN 60684-3-136:2001?

SIST EN 60684-3-136:2001 is used by people who specify, supply, inspect, or buy insulating sleeving for electrical applications. Typical users include design engineers, procurement staff, manufacturers of wire and cable assemblies, and quality inspectors.

It is useful whenever a project needs a written reference for a particular sleeving material and size range. That makes it relevant in production, incoming inspection, supplier approval, and product specification work.

What does the SIST EN 60684-3-136:2001 document contain?

The document is a focused product specification sheet rather than a general guide to all insulating sleeving. It identifies the sleeving type, states that it is extruded and non-heat-shrinkable, and ties it to fluorosilicone rubber compounds.

Its content is centered on the technical identity of this one sleeving type and the size range normally associated with it. That makes it useful for ordering, comparing offers, and checking conformance against the exact sleeving sheet.
