This document is not anASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of anASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

ac—symbol used to designate an electric voltage or current whose amplitude varies periodically as a function of time, its average
value over one complete period being zero. One complete repetition of the wave pattern is referred to as a CYCLE, and the
number of cycles occurring in one second is called the FREQUENCY, measured in hertz (Hz). For example, the electricity
supplied by commercial utility companies in the United States is, in most localities, 60 Hz, although other frequencies may be
encountered.
acid treating—a refining process in which an unfinished petroleum insulating oil is contacted with sulfuric acid to improve its
color, odor, stability, and other properties.
ac loss characteristics—those properties of a dielectric or insulation system (such as dissipation factor, power factor, and loss
index) that may be used as a measure of the power or energy losses that would result from the use of such material in an ac
electric field.
