TEST METHODS FOR QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION
OF CORROSIVE SULFUR COMPOUNDS IN UNUSED
AND USED INSULATING LIQUIDS –
Part 1: Test method for quantitative determination
of dibenzyldisulfide (DBDS)
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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 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 62697-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 10: Fluids for electrotechnical applications. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 10/887/FDIS 10/891/RVD

62697-1 © IEC:2012 – 7 – INTRODUCTION Sulfur can be present in insulating liquids in various forms, including elemental sulfur, inorganic sulfur compounds and organic sulfur compounds. The number of diverse sulfur species comprised of different isomers and homologous can run into hundreds. The total sulfur(TS) concentration in insulating liquids depends on the origin of the liquid, refining processes and the degree of refining and formulation including addition of additives to the base oils. Base oils include mineral based paraffinic and naphthenic oils, synthetic iso- paraffins obtained through gas to liquid conversion process (GTL-Fischer-Tropsch), esters, poly alpha olefins, poly alkylene glycols, etc. Additives can be comprised of electrostatic discharge depressants, metal deactivators, metal passivators, phenolic and sulfur containing antioxidants such as the polysulfides, disulfides, dibenzyl disulfide (DBDS), etc.
Certain sulfur compounds present in the insulating liquids exhibit antioxidant and metal deactivating properties without being corrosive, whereas other sulfur compounds have been known to react with metal surfaces. Specifically, sulfur compounds such as mercaptans are very corrosive to metallic components of electrical devices. Presence of these corrosive sulfur species has been linked to failures of electrical equipment used in generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy for several decades. Therefore, the IEC standard for mineral insulating oils states that corrosive sulfur compounds shall not be present in unused and used insulating liquids (see IEC 60296) [5]1. Recently, the serious detrimental impact of corrosive sulfur has been linked to the presence of a specific highly corrosive sulfur compound, DBDS. This compound has been found in certain mineral insulating oils [1, 14, 15, 16]; presence of this compound has been shown to result in copper sulfide formation on the surfaces of copper conductors under normal operating conditions of transformers [2]. Current standard test methods for detection of corrosive sulfur (ASTM D1275, methods A and B, and DIN 51353) and potentially corrosive sulfur in used and unused insulating oil (IEC 62535) are empirical and qualitative. These methods rely on visual and subjective perception of colour profiles. The methods do not yield quantitative results in regard to the concentration of DBDS or other corrosive sulfur compounds present in insulating liquids.
Furthermore, methods for corrosive sulfur and potentially corrosive sulfur in insulating liquids (ASTM D1275, method B and IEC 62535) are applicable only to mineral insulating oils that do not contain a metal passivator additive, the methods otherwise can yield negative results even when corrosive sulfur compounds are present in the insulating liquids – thus providing a false negative test result. On the other hand, the test method when used with aged insulating oils (e.g. those with relative high acidity), may give ambiguous results and lead to a false positive test result. Further analysis of insulating liquids is stipulated, e.g. IEC 62535 specifies that if there are any doubts in the interpretation of the results of inspection of paper, the composition of precipitate should be analyzed by other
methods (for example by SEM-EDX). For this reason, IEC TC 10 WG 37 was set up to prepare test methods for the unambiguous quantitative determination of corrosive sulfur compounds in unused and used insulating liquids. Because of the complexity of such determinations, the test methods are divided into three parts: Part 1 – Test method for quantitative determination of dibenzyldisulfide (DBDS). Part 2 – Test methods for quantitative determination of total corrosive sulfur (TCS). Part 3 – Test methods for quantitative determination of total mercaptans and disulfides (TMD) and other targeted corrosive sulfur species. ___________ 1 Figures in square brackets refer to the bibliography.

– 8 – 62697-1 © IEC:2012 Health and safety This part of IEC 62697 does not purport to address all the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of the standard to establish appropriate health and safety practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. The insulating liquids which are the subject of this standard should be handled with due regard to personal hygiene. Direct contact with eyes may cause slight irritation. In the case of eye contact, irrigation with copious quantities of clean running water should be carried out and medical advice sought. Some of the tests specified in this standard involve the use of processes that could lead to a hazardous situation. Attention is drawn to the relevant standard for guidance. Environment This standard involves mineral insulating oils, natural ester insulating liquids, chemicals and used sample containers. The disposal of these items should be carried out in accordance with current national legislation with regard to the impact on the environment. Every precaution should be taken to prevent the release of chemicals used during the test into the environment. SIST EN 62697-1:2013
