Description

This procedure is generally not intended for use on cables
containing water swellable tapes, powders, or yarns. Swellable
materials must absorb water in order to swell and build a block to
further penetration of water. This test method may be used to look
at the water wicking characteristics of such cables, however it
must be understood that a certain amount of water absorption is
necessary for such cables to pass water penetration
requirements.
