2、n, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 These test method

Summary of Test Methods4.1 This standard provides eight different test methods forthe measurement of thickness of solid electrical insulationmaterials. The test methods (identified as Test Method

9、s Athrough H) employ different micrometers that exert variouspressures for varying times upon specimens of different geom-etries. Tables 1 and 2 display basic differences of each testmethod and identify test methods applicable for use on variouscategories of materials.5. Significance and Use5.1 Some

10、 electrical properties, such as dielectric strength,vary with the thickness of the material. Determination ofcertain properties, such as relative permittivity (dielectricconstant) and volume resistivity, usually require a knowledgeof the thickness.

Calibration (General Considerations for Care and Useof Each of the Various Pieces of Apparatus forThickness Measur

34、ements)7.1 Good testing practices require clean anvil and presserfoot surfaces for any micrometer instrument. Prior to calibra-tion or thickness measurements, clean such surfaces by insert-ing a piece of smooth, clean bond paper between the anvil andthe presser foot and slowly moving the bond paper

35、between thesurfaces. During measurements, check the zero setting fre-quently. It is possible that failure to repeat the zero setting willbe evidence of dirt or contamination on the surfaces.NOTE 1Avoid pulling any edge of the bond paper between thesurfaces to reduce the probability of depositing any

36、 lint particles on thesurfaces.7.2 The parallelism requirements for machinists microm-eters demand that observed differences of readings on a pair ofscrew-thread-pitch wires or a pair of standard 250 mil 6.35mm or 236 mil 6 mm nominal diameter plug gauges be notgreater than 0.079 mil 2 m or 0.1 mil

37、2.5 m. Spring-wirestock or music-wire of known diameter are suitable substitutes.The wire (or the plug gauge) has a diameter dimension that isknown to be within 60.05 mil 61.3 m. It is possible thatdiameter dimensions will vary by an amount approximatelyequal to the axial movement of the spindle whe

38、n the wire (orthe plug gauge) is rotated through 180.7.2.1 Lacking a detailed procedure supplied by the instru-ment manufacturer, confirm the parallelism requirements ofmachinists micrometers using the following procedure:7.2.1.1 Close the micrometer on the screw-thread-pitch wireor the plug gauge i

39、n accordance with the calibration procedureof 7.6.2 or 7.6.3 as appropriate.7.2.1.2 Observe and record the thickness indicated.7.2.1.3 Move the screw-thread-pitch wire or the plug gaugeto a different position between the presser foot and the anviland repeat 7.2.1.1 and 7.2.1.2.7.2.1.4 If the differe

40、nce between any pair of readings isgreater than 0.1 mil 2.5 m, the surfaces are NOT parallel.7.3 Lacking a detailed procedure supplied by the instrumentmanufacturer, confirm the requirements for parallelism ofdial-type micrometers given in 6.3.1.2 by placing a hardenedsteel ball (such as is used in

41、a ball bearing) of suitable diameterbetween the presser foot and the anvil. Mount the ball in afork-shaped holder to allow the ball to be conveniently movedfrom one location to another between the presser foot and theanvil. The balls used commercially in ball bearings are almostperfect spheres havin

42、g diameters constant within a few micro-inches micrometres.NOTE 2Exercise care with this procedure. Calculations using theequations in X1.3.2 show that it is possible that the use of a 24-oz0.68 kg weight on a ball between the hardened surfaces of presser footand anvil will result in dimples in the

43、anvil or presser foot surfaces causedby exceeding the yield stress of the surfaces.7.3.1 Observe and record the diameter as measured by themicrometer at one location.7.3.2 Move the ball to another location and repeat themeasurement.7.3.3 If the difference between any pair of readings isgreater than

44、0.1 mil 2.5 m, the surfaces are NOT parallel.7.4 Lacking a detailed procedure supplied by the instrumentmanufacturer, confirm the flatness of the anvil and the spindlesurface of a micrometer or dial gauge by use of an optical flatwhich has clean surfaces. Surfaces shall be flat within 0.05 mil1.3 m.

45、7.4.1 After cleaning the micrometer surfaces (see 7.1), placethe optical flat on the anvil and close the presser foot asdescribed in 7.6.2 or 7.6.3 or 7.6.4 or 7.6.5 as appropriate.7.4.2 When illuminated by diffused daylight, interferencebands are formed between the surfaces of the flat and thesurfa

46、ces of the micrometer. The shape, location, and number ofthese bands indicate the deviation from flatness in incrementsof half the average wavelengths of white light, which is takenas 0.079 mil 2 m or 0.1 mil 2.5 m.7.4.2.1 A flat surface forms straight parallel fringes at equalintervals.7.4.2.2 A gr

47、ooved surface forms straight parallel fringes atunequal intervals.7.4.2.3 A symmetrical concave or convex surface formsconcentric circular fringes. Their number is a measure ofdeviation from flatness.7.4.2.4 An unsymmetrical concave or convex surface formsa series of curved fringes that cut the peri

48、phery of themicrometer surface. The number of fringes cut by a straightline connecting the terminals of any fringes is a measure of thedeviation from flatness.7.5 Machinists Micrometer Requirements :7.5.1 The requirements for zero reading of machinistsmicrometers are met when ten closings of the spi

49、ndle onto theanvil, in accordance with 7.6.2.3 or 7.6.3.3 as appropriate,result in ten zero readings. The condition of zero reading issatisfied when examinations with a low-power magnifyingglass show that at least 66 % of the width of the zerograduation mark on the barrel coincides with at least 66 % ofthe width of the reference mark.7.5.2 Proper maintenance of a machinists micrometer re-quires adjusting the instrument for wear of the micrometerscrew so that
