General Specifications and Qualification Requirements6.1 All varnishes supplied under this specification mustconform to the limits outlined in Table 1, and must meet, orexceed, all specification requirements.6.2 A varnish supplied under this specification is to bema
16、nufactured from one specific formula and one specificprocess at one or more plants of the same company.6.3 Changes involved solely with percent nonvolatile con-tent or compatible solvent system, do not require requalifica-tion, if agreed upon between supplier and user.6.4 If any formula or process c
17、hanges are desired afterqualification approval has been granted, conduct the tests inTable 1, except for thermal class.6.5 If varnishes from different suppliers are to be mixed orused in a common tank or container, determine their compat-ibility by Test Methods D115. They must be compatible, bothin
18、the liquid and solid state, with the varnish currently beingused in the system.6.6 Varnishes containing silicone in any portion, must notbe mixed with non-silicone varnishes.6.7 The qualification requirements of the varnish shall be asmutually agreed upon between supplier and user, with tests tobe p
19、erformed in accordance with the appropriate methods, andlimits as shown in Table 1.6.8 Preconditioning: Grade DA Varnishes OnlyPrecondition all Grade DA varnish specimens, both flexibleand rigid, in air at room temperature for seven days prior tocarrying out dielectric strength and bond strength tes
20、ts shownin Table 1.7. Hazards7.1 It is unsafe to use varnish at temperatures above theflash point without adequate ventilation, especially if thepossibility exists that flames or sparks are present. Storevarnish in sealed containers.8. Sampling8.1 Obtain varnish samples and appropriate thinner eithe
21、rfrom the manufacturer or directly from shipping containerssupplied from the manufacturer. Suitable samples may also beobtained from material in process. It is important that new, orthoroughly cleaned sampling containers be used. The samplemay be obtained by any of a number of procedures commonlyuse
22、d in the industry. Normally, the sample is simply pouredfrom the shipping container. The sample container should havea tight fitting cover to minimize the loss of solvents. A dippingladle may be used, or, if it is desirable to obtain a sample fromvarious levels, use appropriate sampling techniques.8
23、.2 The quantity of sample is that required as indicated in9.1.9. Quality Conformance Tests9.1 General RequirementsFrom each batch of varnish,take a 2-qt (2-L) sample and test. The values must meet thelimits listed for specification requirements shown in Table 1,oras agreed upon between supplier and
24、user.9.2 Inspection and Preparation for DeliverySelectsamples and inspect to verify conformance with the require-ments in Section 6.10.
