Hot set testing of cable materials is an easy way to determine if the material used in the insulation or sheathing of cables is sufficiently cross-linked. Crosslinking increases the bonding between the polymer chains in a material. The purpose of crosslinked insulation and outer sheath materials is usually to improve the mechanical and electrical properties.

Elastocon offers two instruments for hot set testing of cable materials: hot set tester EB 16-II and hot set oven basic EB 30.
