Scope1.1 This test method covers a means of testing the surfaceinsulation resistivity of single strips or pun

Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-pri

7、Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 surface insulation resistivityrefers to the effectiveresistivity of a single insulative layer tested between appliedbare metal contacts and the base metal of the insulated testspecimen. It is not the same as the terms interlaminar resistivityand stack resistivity, whi

8、ch refer to the average resistivity oftwo adjacent insulative surfaces in contact with each other.3.1.2 The apparatus is popularly known as a Franklin tester.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Ten metallic contacts of fixed area are applied to one ofthe surfaces of the specimen and electrical contact is m

9、ade withthe base metal by two drills. The effectiveness of the surfaceinsulation is then indicated by a measurement of averageelectrical current flowing between the contacts and the basemetal under specified applied voltage. This measurement canbe used directly as an indicator of insulation quality

10、or may beconverted to an apparent surface insulation resistivity value.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is particularly suitable for qualitycontrol in the application of insulating coatings.5.2 Surface insulation resistivity is evaluated from a dccurrent that can range from 0 (perfect ins

11、ulator) to 1 A (perfectconductor).5.3 Single readings should not be considered significantsince the nature of the test device and specimen are such thatsuccessive measurements of a specimen often yield differentvalues.6. Apparatus6.1 The apparatus, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, shallconsist of a co

12、ntact unit or test head which is attached to thehead of a hydraulic press. Its associated measuring equipment,which may be remotely located, includes an ammeter,voltmeter, and voltage regulated dc power supply. Whenmeasurements are to be made at elevated temperatures, theplaten beneath the specimen

13、is heated and controlled. Detaileddescriptions of the various components are given in Annex A1.7. Sampling7.1 Samples shall be representative of the steel and shall becut in a manner to assure representative sampling as describedin Practice A34/A34M.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of AST

17、nization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.18. Test Specimen8.1 The width and length of a specimen strip shall be greaterthan the width and length respectively of the assembly ofcontacts. The suggested minimum specimen size is 2 by 5 in.50 by 130 mm.8.2 A minimum of five specimen strips is

18、 recommended.8.3 By mutual agreement between the producer and theuser, tests may be run on Epstein test strips. The Epsteinspecimens may be less satisfactory than the minimum sizespecimen suggested in 8.1 because of the tilting effect due toburrs, shearing strains, and disturbances in the coating.9.

19、 Procedure9.1 To ensure correct contact button conditions, make ashort circuit test occasionally by testing a bare metal surface.When the short circuit current is less than 0.99 A, clean thecontacts. The use of solvents for cleaning is preferred toabrasives because the latter can result in rounded t

20、ips withreduced contact areas.9.2 The recommended standard pressure for purpose ofcomparative tests shall be 300 psi 2.1 MPa. Other pressures,depending upon the application, may be agreed upon by theproducer and the user. If more than one test pressure is to beused, apply the pressures in ascending

21、order. During testing,apply the pressures only once, but an applied pressure may beincreased to a higher value.9.3 If both sides of the specimen are coated, do not use thesame area to test both sides.9.4 The recommended standard test temperatures are roomtemperature and 300F 150C. Other temperatures

22、 and thesequence of temperatures, depending upon the application,may be agreed upon by the producer and the user.9.5 When tests are made at elevated temperatures allowsufficient time (usually 30 s) to heat the specimen to thespecified temperature.9.6 When the insulation may be hygroscopic, a conditi

23、oningprocedure immediately prior to testing should be mutuallyagreed upon by the producer and the user.9.7 Place the specimen on the platen beneath the test headand position it so that all contacts are within the test area whenthe test head is brought in contact with the specimen.Apply thespecified

24、pressure. Check that the voltage is 0.50 V and readthe ammeter.10. Calculations10.1 The average of electrical current measurements isusually acceptable for evaluating surface insulation. Averagethe current readings for each surface. The reported value for asample shall be the average of both surface

25、s.10.2 The two surface insulation resistivity of the test sample(two surfaces in series), Ri, may be calculated from I, theaverage ammeter reading in A, as follows:Ri5 6.451/I! 2 1! incm2/lamination, (1)orRi5 6451/I! 2 1! inmm2/lamination.10.3 The equations in 10.2 may be derived as shown inAnnex A2
