Significance and Use4.1 Tests covered in this standard may be used for qualitycontrol and design considerations.4.2 Included in each test method is a brief statementdescribing its significance.5. Sampling5.1 Accurate sampling, whether of

21、 the complete contents 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 e

22、rroneous conclusions con-cerning quality.5.2 Sample the silicone fluid in accordance with TestMethods D923.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 a

23、ffect the physical,chemical, and electrical properties of the fluid.6.2 ProcedureDetermine the color in accordance withTest Method D2129.7. 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

24、specified test conditions, before the emittedvapors form a flammable mixture in air. Unusually low flash orfire points for a given product may indicate contamination.7.2 ProcedureDetermine the flash and fire points in ac-cordance with Test Method D92.8. Polychlorinated Biphenyl Content8.1 Scope:8.1.

25、1 Test Method D4059describes 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. Standardchromatogra

26、ms of Aroclors 1242, 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

27、column where the 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

28、conditions.8.4 Significance 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

29、in selecting appropriatehandling 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 accord

30、ancewith Test Method D97.10. Refractive Index10.1 Significance The refractive index is often useful forthe detection of some types of contamination and for theidentification of the molecular makeup of the various types ofsilicone insulating fluids.10.2 ProcedureDetermine the refractive index in acco

31、r-dance with Test Methods D1807.11. Specific Gravity11.1 Significance Silicone insulating fluids are usuallysold on a weight basis. The values for the specific gravitiesmust frequently be known to calculate the volume of fluidpresent at any given temperature.D2225 04 (2012)211.2 ProcedureDetermine t

32、he specific gravity in accor-dance with Test Methods D1481 or D4052 and Practice D1298.12. Volatility12.1 Significance High values may indicate contamina-tion of the silicone with other organic materials, inadequateremoval of volatile components, or contamination with adepolymerization catalyst.12.2

33、 ProcedureDetermine volatility in accordance withTest Method D4559.13. Viscosity13.1 Significance The viscosity of a silicone fluid isimportant during the process of impregnation.13.1.1 At operating temperatures the viscosity of a siliconefluid is a principal factor affecting heat transfer by convec

34、tionflow of the fluid.13.2 ProcedureDetermine the viscosity in accordancewith Test Method D445. The kinematic viscosity may beconverted to absolute viscosity in accordance with Test MethodD2161.CHEMICAL METHODS14. Neutralization Number14.1 Significance In the inspection of unused siliconefluids, the

35、 neutralization 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 sol

36、ution of basic or 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 D974.15. Water Content15.1 Significance Under

37、 high humidity 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 D1533

38、.ELECTRICAL METHODS16. 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

39、acceptablechemical properties and design considerations.16.2 ProcedureDetermine the relative permittivity in ac-cordance with Test Method D924. An alternative method ofcleaning the test cells is to use multiple rinses of isopropanolfollowed by a thorough rinsing with methylene chloride anddry with c

40、lean, dry, warm 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, cond

41、ucting solid 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

42、D877, with the 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 prev

43、ent bubbles 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

44、-spacing gage 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 f

45、olding the lintless paper over a clinical tonguedepressor. Flush the test cup with clean silicone fluid andempty the cup.17.3 Test Method D1816 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

46、Determine the dielectric breakdown voltage in accor-dance with Test Method D1816.18. 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 anindicatio

47、n of changes in the fluid resulting from deterioratingand contaminating influences.18.2 ProceduresDetermine the dissipation factor in accor-dance with Test Method D924. An alternative method ofcleaning the test cells is to use multiple rinses of isopropanolfollowed by a thorough rinsing with methyle

48、ne chloride anddry with clean, dry, warm air.D2225 04 (2012)319. 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-

49、forming particles, and normally 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 D1169. 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.COMPATIBILITY TESTING20.
