Optical fibres

Part 1-31: Measurement methods and test procedures – Tensile strength

(IEC 60793-1-31:2019); German version EN IEC 60793-1-31:2019
Class/Status: Standard, valid
Released: 2022-10
VDE Art. No.: 0800669

This part of IEC 60793 provides values of the tensile strength of optical fibre samples. The method tests individual lengths of uncabled and unbundled glass optical fibre. Sections of fibre are broken with controlled increasing stress or strain that is uniform over the entire fibre length and cross section. The stress or strain is increased at a nominally constant rate until breakage occurs.
