(Test Method)Standard Test Methods for Testing Solvent Containing Varnishes Used for Electrical Insulation
Standard Test Methods for Testing Solvent Containing Varnishes Used for Electrical Insulation
SCOPE
1.1 These test methods cover tests for solvent containing varnishes primarily intended to provide electrical, mechanical, and chemical protection for electrical equipment. These test methods include tests for control and performance as follows:ProcedureSectionBuild37-41Dielectric Strength42-47Drainage25-31Flash Point17-19Nonvolatile Matter20-24Oil Resistance53-55Preparation of Test Specimens7Specific Gravity9-12Temperature Index48-49Time of Drying32-36Varnish Compatibility50-52Viscosity13-16
1.2 Where the entire test method is included in this standard, the precision and bias are not known unless given in the stated method.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazard statements, see Section 5.
Note 1—There is no equivalent IEC standard.
