<strong>NASA</strong>-STD-8739.4 with Change 6shown in Figure 9-13. Sleeving coverage dimensions are given in this figure. If a tight fit isrequired for the minimum diameter, additional sleeving may be required.CAUTION: EXTREME CARE SHALL BE EXERCISED TO ASSURETHAT THE AMOUNT OF HEAT APPLIED IS NOTDETRIMENTAL TO THE OBJECT BEING COVERED.WHEN OTHER TEMPERATURE-SENSITIVEMATERIALS AND PARTS ARE IN THE VICINITY, THEYSHALL BE PROTECTED FROM EXPOSURE TO DIRECTHEAT.Figure 9-13. Illustration of Shrink Sleeve Installation (Typical)9.10 Long Lengths of Shrinkable SleevingLong lengths of shrinkable sleeving installed over <strong>interconnecting</strong> <strong>harnesses</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>cables</strong> shallprovide protective coverage of the designated area without leaving residual stress in the material(Requirement). The sleeving shall be in contact with the <strong>interconnecting</strong> harness or cable alongits length (Requirement). One method of controlling endwise shrinkage (reduction in length) ofthe sleeving during installation is shown in Figure 9-14.NOTE:Medium to long lengths of <strong>harnesses</strong>/<strong>cables</strong> with shrinksleeving are extremely difficult to bend <strong>and</strong> coil withoutdamage.Page 49 of 114
