EN 60970:2007

Insulating liquids - Methods for counting and sizing particles

Describes the sampling procedures and methods for the determination of particle concentration and size distribution. Three methods are specified. One uses an automatic particle size analyser, working on the light interruption principle. The other two use an optical microscope, in either the transmitted light or incident light mode, to count particles collected on the surface of a membrane filter. The optical microscope methods are described in ISO 4407. All three methods are applicable to both used and unused insulating liquids. Annex A contains an alternative sampling procedure using a syringe and Annex B reports a reference for the calibration of automatic particle counters. The significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows: - new calibration procedures for automated laser particle; - three figures contamination code; - new procedure of sample pre-treatment when automated laser counter method are used.

Isolierflüssigkeiten - Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Anzahl und Größen von Teilchen

Isolants liquides - Méthodes de détermination du nombre et de la taille des particules

Décrit les procédures de prélèvement et les méthodes pour déterminer la concentration des particules et la répartition selon leur taille. Trois méthodes sont recommandées. L'une d'entre elles utilise un analyseur automatique de particules, dont le principe repose sur l'interruption d'un faisceau lumineux. Les deux autres utilisent un microscope optique, en mode soit de lumière transmise soit de lumière incidente, pour compter les particules retenues à la surface d'une membrane filtrante. Les méthodes au microscope optique sont décrites dans l'ISO 4407. Ces trois méthodes sont applicables tant aux isolants liquides usagés qu'aux isolants liquides neufs. L'Annexe A comporte une autre procédure d'échantillonnage utilisant une seringue et l'Annexe B indique une référence pour l'étalonnage des compteurs automatiques de particules. Les principales modifications techniques par rapport à l'édition précédente sont les suivantes: - nouvelles procédures d'étalonnage pour les analyseurs automatiques de particules; - code de contamination à trois chiffres; - nouvelle procédure pour le pré-traitement d'échantillons quand la méthode des compteurs de particules automatisés est utilisée.
