简介

ASTM  D470-99是交联绝缘材料和电线\电缆外皮的老化测试标准。标准后续的数字指代标准的采用年限，或者修订情况下最后确定修改的年份。

1. Scope

1.1 These test methods cover procedures for testing crosslinked insulations and jackets for wire and cable. To determine the test to be made on the particular insulation or jacket, reference should be made to the product specification for that type. These test methods do not apply to the class of products known as flexible cords.

1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazards see Section 4.

1.3 Whenever two sets of values are presented, in different units, the values in the first set are the standard, while those in the parentheses are for information only.

1.4 In many instances the insulation or jacket cannot be tested unless it has been formed around a conductor or cable. Therefore, tests are done on insulated or jacketed wire or cable in these test methods solely to determine the relevant property of the insulation or jacket and not to test the conductor or completed cable.

1.5 The procedures appear in the following sections:
