YB/T024-1992 Steel Strips for Armored Cables
This Standard is referred to as YB/T024-1992, and it sets the requirements for steel strips used for the manufacture of armored cables. Armored cables are employed for wiring in areas that require higher protection for the wiring, such as public utility networks, industrial sites, and residential dwellings. The steel strips provide armor wrapping, which protect the sensitive wiring from external mechanical abuse and damage.
The Standard outlines the dimensional requirements of the steel strips, which are typically made with low carbon cold rolled steel. The steel strips must be composed with a minimum of 0.04% carbon, and they are required to feature certain properties and characteristics. These include a uniform pattern, good surface finish and appearance, and excellent mechanical qualities such as bending, cutting, and tensile strength.The Standard stipulates the type of steel compounds to be used, the ways in which it must be processed, and how it must be tested for quality assurance.
The Standard also sets rules for the mechanical and electrical properties of the steel strips used for armored cables. It defines the specific mechanical tests that must be performed, as well as the electrical tests that must be conducted to ensure the steel strips are suitable for use in armored cables.
YB/T024-1992 also sets out the configurations of the steel strips, including the lengths and widths. The steel strips must possess lengths between 0.1 and 10 metres, and widths between 0.05 and 2 metres. The strips must also be manufactured to a maximum thickness of 0.5mm, and they must have acceptable levels of flexibility to enable them to perform their designated tasks.
Finally, the Standard also outlines various packaging and marking requirements that must be met before the steel strips can be used in armored cables. This includes ensuring that the steel strips are properly labeled and packaged, with detailed descriptions of their mechanical, electrical, and dimensional properties.
YB/T024-1992 is an important Standard that must be followed by manufacturers that wish to use steel strips in their armored cables. It helps to ensure that the steel strips possess the desired properties and characteristics, allowing armor wrapping cables to serve their intended purpose. Moreover, the Standard helps to ensure that the steel strips are suitable for the environment in which they are used, reducing the chances of any accidents or incidents.
