Testing Capabilities
Calmont Wire & Cable tests its products everyday. When it comes to improving and innovating, Calmont never rests. We offer standards testing, revamping flex-testing (to a mil standard), electrical testing and network analysis.
Calmont employs a variety of electrical, mechanical, and physical tests to ensure its products are of the highest quality.
Electrical:
- Spark Test
- Hypot
- Continuity
- Dielectric Withstand (wet & dry)
- Characteristic Impedance
- Insulation Resistance
- Conductor DC Resistance
- Capacitance
- Inductance
- Attenuation
- Propagation Delay
- Altitude Testing
Mechanical:
- Tensile & Elongation
- Solderability
- Flammability (horizontal & vertical)
- Flexibility
- Flex Life
- Durometer
- Plating Thickness
- Crush Resistance
- Cold Bend
- Heat Shock
- Heat Aging
- Shrink Back
- Insulation Strippability
Physical:
- Material verification of conductor, insulating & jacketing materials, colors/sequence, and fills
- Dimensional verification of overall diameter, insulation & jacket wall thickness, concentricity percentage, min/max or multiple length requirements, lay length, and lay direction
- Appearance & Workmanship – verification of cross-sectional shape requirements (e.g. “roundness”) and appearance (e.g. “matte” or “gloss” finish)
- Mass (lbs/MF)
Network Analyzer:
- Impedance
- Attenuation
- Signal-integrity
- Time domain testing
