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
