Measurement of the average viscometric degree of polymerization of new and aged cellulosic electrically insulating materials

Describes a standardized method for the determination of the average viscometric degree of polymerization (DPv) of new and aged cellulosic electrically insulating materials. It may be applied to all cellulosic insulating materials such as those used in transformer, cable or capacitor manufacturing. The methods described can also be used for the determination of the intrinsic viscosity of solutions of chemically modified kraft papers, provided that these dissolve completely in the selected solvent. Caution should be taken if the method is applied to loaded kraft papers. Note: Within a sample of material, all the cellulose molecules do not have the same degree of polymerization so that the mean value measured by viscometric methods is not necessarily the same as that which may be obtained by, for instance, osmotic or ultra centrifuging methods. Experience has indicated the need for improved description of the experimental method. It describes a revised procedure that overcomes the limitations of the first edition.

Messung des durchschnittlichen viskosimetrischen Polymerisationsgrades von neuen und gealterten cellulosehaltigen Elektroisolierstoffen

Mesure du degré de polymérisation moyen viscosimétrique des matériaux isolants cellulosiques neufs et vieillis à usage électrique

Décrit une méthode normalisée pour déterminer le degré de polymérisation moyen viscosimétrique (DPv) des matériaux isolants cellulosiques neufs et vieillis, à usage électrique. Elle peut s'appliquer à tous les matériaux isolants cellulosiques comme ceux utilisés dans la fabrication des transformateurs, des câbles et des condensateurs. Les méthodes décrites peuvent également être utilisées pour déterminer la viscosité intrinsèque des solutions de papiers kraft modifiés chimiquement, pourvu que ceux-ci se dissolvent totalement dans le solvant choisi. Il convient de prendre des précautions si la méthode s'applique à des papiers kraft chargés. Note: Dans un échantillon de matériau, toutes les molécules de cellulose n'ont pas le même degré de polymérisation de sorte que la valeur moyenne mesurée par les méthodes viscosimétriques n'est pas nécessairement la même que celle obtenue, par exemple, par les méthodes par osmose ou par ultra-centrifugation. L'expérience a mis en évidence le besoin d'améliorer la description de la méthode expérimentale. La procédure ainsi revue permet de surmonter les limitations de la première édition.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60450 has been prepared by subcommittee 15E: Methods of test,
of IEC technical committee 15: Insulating materials.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1974, and constitutes
a technical revision. Experience has indicated the need for improved description of the
experimental method. It describes a revised procedure that overcomes the limitations of the
first edition.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
Experience has indicated the need for an improved description of the experimental method for
the reproducible determination of the average viscometric degree of polymerization of new
and aged cellulosic electrically insulating material.
The major error appears to arise from oxidative degradation occurring during processing and
effluxing. Other significant factors include the need to ensure that all of the material is
dissolved and used, as well as the effect of the speed of effluxing.
