Summary o

9、f Test Method4.1 Specimens of the test material are conditioned at pre-scribed conditions and subjected to direct-voltage stress. Re-sistance or conductance is measured and used with the dimen-sional aspects of the specimen to compute the resistivity of thematerial. The apparatus and techniques used

10、 in this test methodare selected in accordance with the general principles set forthin Test Methods D257.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is useful for the comparison ofmaterials, as a quality control test, and for specificationpurposes.5.2 This test method is useful in the selection and

11、use ofmaterials in wires, cables, bushings, high-voltage rotatingmachinery, and other electrical apparatus in which shielding orthe distribution of voltage stress is of value.5.3 Commercially available “moderately conductive” mate-rials frequently are comprised of both conductive and resistivecompon

19、Fig. 2, and Fig. 34(seeAnnex A1 for additional information).7. Specimen Preparation and Selection7.1 Take specimens from a sample of material that has beenobtained in a random manner. Take care to protect the sampleand the specimens from any contamination, which will affectthe results of the resista

20、nce or conductance tests. Such con-tamination can include, in particular, salts or moisture fromhuman hands. Be aware of elevated temperatures, extremes ofhigh or low humidity, and the presence of chemical vapors, etc.7.2 Prior to testing, condition all specimens to equilibriumin the standard labora

21、tory atmosphere prescribed in PracticeD6054. For many materials the time of conditioning toequilibrium will require only a few hours (that is, less than 24h). Equilibrium with standard laboratory conditions is declaredattained if two consecutive volume resistance measurements onthe same specimen agr

22、ee within 61 %. The two consecutivemeasurements are to be made at the intervals separated at leastby4h.7.3 Determine the dimensions of the test specimens towithin6 2 % on material in equilibrium with the standardlaboratory atmosphere. Make all thickness measurements inaccordance with Method D of Tes

23、t Methods D374 using theappropriate procedure for the material being tested.7.4 For specimens incorporating conductive paint electrodessee Annex A1.7.5 For anisotropic materials, label and prepare specimensfor testing in each of the principal directions of anisotropy.NOTE 2Moderately conductive pape

24、r exhibits three axes of anisot-ropy. The principal axes in paper are machine direction (MD); cross-machine direction (CMD); and thickness direction (TD). Extruded poly-meric materials frequently show anisotropy with the axis of extrusion(direction of flow) compared to the axis of the material at ri

25、ght angles tothat direction of flow.8. Procedure8.1 Unless otherwise specified, make all measurementsusing an electrification time of less than 1 min. The electrifi-cation time shall be long enough to attain a “steady state” andthe magnitude of the voltage shall not be so great as to causeheating of

26、 the test specimen. See Appendix X1 for discussionof time effects of voltage application and specimen heating.8.2 Do not apply to the test specimen a power inputexceeding 1 W. For very conductive materials it is useful toincrease the size of a specimen or to decrease the test voltageby one or more o

27、rders of magnitude below 500 V in order toavoid the specimen overheating.8.3 Test a minimum of five specimens from each sample ineach of the principal directions of anisotropy. Use caution inhandling the specimens to avoid contaminating the surfaces.8.4 Place the specimen in the test cell or attach

If mercury electrodes are used, takespecial care in handling the mercury.8.4.1 WarningMercury metal-vapor poisoning has longbeen recognized as a hazard in the industry.

Mercury, being a liquid and quite heavy, willdisintegrate into

30、small droplets and seep into cracks andcrevices in the floor. The use of a commercially availableemergency spill kit is recommended whenever a spill occurs.The increased area of exposure adds significantly to themercury vapor concentration in the air. Mercury vapor concen-tration is easily monitored

Thorough checksare to be made after spills.8.5 Measure the conductance, resistance, or voltagecurrentvalues, depending upon the type of apparatus shown in Tes
