Overview
prEN 6059-305 - Fluid absorption is a draft European aerospace test method for verifying the fluid repellent properties of protection sleeves used on electrical cables and cable bundles. Intended for use together with EN 6059-100, this standard defines how to expose sleeve specimens to a controlled drip of fluid and judge whether the sleeve prevents fluid transfer to an underlying absorbing material. It is part of the Aerospace series for electrical cable installation and will supersede EN 6059-305:2019.
Key topics and test method
- Scope: Verifies fluid repellency of protection sleeves for electrical cables/cable bundles. Fluids used are those specified in the applicable product standard.
- Specimen preparation:
- Length: 40–60 mm specimens.
- Tubular sleeves: cut longitudinally and fixed (tape/adhesive) to avoid debrading.
- If water is used: distilled or demineralized.
- Apparatus and drip control:
- Drip aperture: minimum 2.5 mm (bottle or pump).
- Distance from aperture to specimen: minimum 70 mm.
- Drip frequency: 20–25 drops per minute.
- Minimum fluid delivery: ≥ 1.35 ml/min.
- Test procedure:
- Specimen placed flat on an exposure table over a piece of absorbing material that changes color/shade on contact with fluid.
- Specimen contacts the absorbent with minimal load; pressure applied to sides to keep the specimen flat.
- After the product-standard-specified drip time, results are recorded within 5 minutes.
- Pass criterion: Absorbing material must be free of fluid after the specified drip time (unless the product standard states otherwise).
- Technical change: This draft removes the previous requirement referencing ISO 3696 for water repelling in Clause 4.
Practical applications and who uses it
- Aerospace OEMs and Tier suppliers: specify and validate protection sleeves for harnesses and bundles.
- Cable and sleeve manufacturers: verify product performance during development and production QA.
- Independent test laboratories and certification bodies: perform type and acceptance testing against aerospace procurement specs.
- Quality and installation engineers: use results to select compliant sleeves for harsh environments where fluid exposure (hydraulic fluids, de-icing fluids, water) is a concern.
- Procurement and compliance teams: include prEN 6059-305 requirements in purchase specifications and conformity checks.
