Sampling5.1 Accurate sampling, whether of the complete conte

21、nts oronly parts thereof, is extremely important from the standpointof elevation of the quality of the product sampled. Obviously,examination of a sample that because of careless samplingprocedure or contamination in the sampling equipment is notdirectly representative, leads to erroneous conclusion

22、s con-cerning quality.5.2 Sample the silicone fluid in accordance with TestMethods D 923.PHYSICAL METHODS6. Color6.1 Significance The chief significance of color as appliedto silicone fluid lies in the fact that if the fluid is colored, somedegree of contamination exists that may affect the physical

23、,chemical, and electrical properties of the fluid.6.2 ProcedureDetermine the color in accordance withTest Method D 2129.7. Flash and Fire Points7.1 Significance The flash and fire points of a siliconeinsulating fluid indicates the limit to which the material may beheated, under the specified test co

24、nditions, before the emittedvapors form a flammable mixture in air.

25、059describes a quantitative tech-nique for determining the concentration of polychlorinatedbiphenyls (PCBs) in electrical insulating liquids.8.2 Definition:8.2.1 PCB concentrationis normally expressed in units ofparts per million (PPM) on a weight by weight basis. Standardchromatograms of Aroclors 1

26、242, 1254, and 1260 are used todetermine the concentration of PCB in the sample.8.3 Summary of Test MethodFollowing dilution of thesample in a suitable solvent, the solution is treated to removeinterfering substances. A small portion is then injected into apacked gas chromatographic column where the

27、 components areseparated and their presence measured by an electron captureor halogen-specific electrolytic conductivity detection. Themethod is made quantitative by comparing the response of asample to that of a known quantity of one or more standardAroclors obtained under the same conditions.8.4 S

28、ignificance and UseUnited States regulations requirethat electrical apparatus and electrical insulating fluids contain-ing PCB be handled and disposed of through the use of specificprocedures as determined by the PCB content of the fluid. Theresults of this test method can be useful in selecting app

29、ropriatehandling and disposal procedures.9. Pour Point9.1 Significance The pour point is important as an indexof the lowest temperature to which the material may be cooledwithout seriously limiting the degree of circulation of the fluid.9.2 ProcedureDetermine the pour point in accordancewith Test Me

30、thod D97.10.

The kinematic viscosity may beconverted to absolute viscosity in accordance with Test MethodD 2161.CHEMICAL METHODS14. Neutralization Number14.1 Significance In the inspection of unused siliconefluids, the neutralization

35、number is of importance as a qualityindex of purity. Properly refined silicone fluids are free frommineral acids and alkalies.14.1.1 Since final oxidation products of silicone fluids arenot acidic, small changes in the neutralization number of usedsilicone fluids may indicate the solution of basic o

36、r acidicmaterials from the various solid materials in contact with thesilicone or the deterioration of such soluble materials to formbasic or acidic materials.14.2 ProcedureDetermine the neutralization number inaccordance with Test Method D 974.15. Water Content15.1 Significance Under high humidity

37、conditions, poly-dimethylsiloxane fluids can absorb moisture up to about 250ppm by weight at 25C. High levels of water content willsignificantly lower the resistivity and dielectric breakdownvoltage of the fluid.15.2 ProcedureDetermine water content in accordancewith Test Method D 1533.ELECTRICAL ME

38、THODS16. Relative Permittivity (Dielectric Constant)16.1 Significance Silicone insulating fluids are used toinsulate components of an electrical network from each otherand from ground. For this use, it is generally desirable to havethe capacitance as small as possible, consistent with acceptablechem

39、ical properties and design considerations.16.2 ProcedureDetermine the relative permittivity in ac-cordance with Test Method D 924. An alternative method ofcleaning the test cells is to use multiple rinses of isopropanolfollowed by a thorough rinsing with methylene chloride anddry with clean, dry, wa

40、rm air.17. Dielectric Breakdown Voltage17.1 Significance The importance of the dielectric break-down voltage of a silicone liquid is as a measure of its abilityto withstand electrical stress without failure. It may alsoindicate the presence of contaminating materials, such aswater, conducting solid

41、particles, dissolved contaminants, orthe decomposition products resulting from an electric arc. Ahigh dielectric breakdown voltage, however, is not a certainindication of the absence of all contaminants.17.2 ProcedureDetermine the dielectric breakdown volt-age in accordance with Method D 877, with t

42、he followingmodification:17.2.1 Fill the test cup by tilting it at a 45 angle. As theliquid approaches the tilted top edge of the cup, slowly rotatethe cup to an upright position while continuing to pour sampleinto the cup. This will reduce the amount of air bubbles in thesample and prevent bubbles

43、from being trapped under theelectrodes.17.2.2 Make one breakdown on each of the specified fillingsof the test cup.17.2.3 Clean the electrode surfaces after each breakdown byone of the following methods:17.2.3.1 Method AAfter each breakdown and before thecup is emptied, pass the electrode-spacing gag

44、e through theelectrode gap twice. Then empty the cup. This will clean theelectrodes of any semisolid breakdown products and they willflow out when the cup is emptied.17.2.3.2 Method BEmpty the cup. Wipe the electrodesurfaces with a lintless paper or cloth. This is best accom-plished by folding the l

45、intless paper over a clinical tonguedepressor. Flush the test cup with clean silicone fluid andempty the cup.17.3 Test Method D 1816 may be used to determine thedielectric breakdown voltage following provided that thedischarge energy limits of Section 1.4 of the test method aremet.17.3.1 Determine t

Dissipation (Power) Factor18.1 Significance Dissipation (power) factor of a siliconefluid is an indication of the energy dissipated as heat in thefluid. It is useful as a means for quality control and as anindication of chang

47、es in the fluid resulting from deterioratingand contaminating influences.18.2 ProceduresDetermine the dissipation factor in accor-dance with Test Method D 924. An alternative method ofcleaning the test cells is to use multiple rinses of isopropanolfollowed by a thorough rinsing with methylene chlori

48、de anddry with clean, dry, warm air.19. Specific Resistance (Resistivity)19.1 Significance The specific resistance of a siliconeinsulating fluid is a measure of its electrical insulating capa-bility in d-c apparatus. High resistivity reflects low content offree ions and ion-forming particles, and no

49、rmally indicates alow concentration of conductive contaminants.19.2 ProcedureWith the exception of the procedure forcleaning the test cells, determine the specific resistance inaccordance with Test Method D 1169.An alternative method ofcleaning the test cells is to use multiple rinses of isopropanolfollowed by a thorough rinsing with methylene chloride anddry with clean, dry, warm air.D 2225 043COMPATIBILITY TESTING20.
