FOTP-31 Proof Testing Optical Fibers by Tension

INTRODUCTION
This test method describes procedures for briefly applying a
specified tensile load to continuous lengths of all Class I and
Class IV, glass/giass optical fibers. This FOTP should not be
applied to Class II (glass/plastic) and Class III (all-plastic)
fibers.
This method is intended to ensure a minimum strength for fiber
that survives proof testing. The minimum strength is a key
parameter for determining the minimum survival time at loads less
than the minimum strength.
This method is intended to ensure a minimum strength for fiber
that survives proof testing.
