1、Designation: F 1116 03 (Reapproved 2008)Standard Test Method forDetermining Dielectric Strength of Dielectric Footwear1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 1116; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the

2、year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers testing to determine the “Di-electric Strength” of dielectric overfoot and overshoe f

3、ootwear.Testing is done over the maximum possible area of thedielectric footwear without permitting flashover between elec-trodes.1.2 The use and maintenance of dielectric footwear isbeyond the scope of this test method.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any,

4、 associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific hazardstatements appear in 5.2.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D 149 Test

The footwearcovered by this specification is dielectrically rated to provideadditional insulation and isolation to the wearer. This testmethod will determine that dielectric footwear has dielectricintegrity at the t

8、ime of the test.5. Apparatus5.1 Electrical Test Criteria:5.1.1 Test ProcedureThe footwear shall be immersed inwater or other conducting media to a depth where the flashoverclearance is consistent with the proof test voltage as listed inTable 1. Since the water or other conducting media inside thefoo

9、twear forms one test electrode and the water or the otherconducting media in the container outside the footwear formsthe other electrode, 152 mm or 6 in. of clearance betweenelectrodes consists of 76 mm or 3 in. of clearance from the topof the footwear to the top of the water or other conductingmedi

10、a both inside and outside of the footwear. Water isrecommended as the medium for the electrodes to ensurecomplete coverage of the surfaces of the footwear. Water maywick up the inner lining on certain brands of footwear. Toovercome the wicking effect care needs to be taken to keep theinner area abov

11、e the water dry and conduct the tests promptlyafter placing the water inside the footwear. The water or otherconducting media inside the footwear forms one test electrodeand shall be connected to one terminal of the voltage source bymeans of a metal chain or sliding rod that dips into theelectode. T

12、he water or other conducting media in the containeroutside the footwear forms the other electrode and shall beconnected directly to the other terminal of the voltage source.Due to the weight of water or other types of electrode media,support racks are needed to secure footwear being tested. Themaxim

13、um protective area of the footwear shall be tested. Caremust be taken to thoroughly dry the inside of the footwearfollowing the test and prior to storage. See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 fortypical test arrangements for dielectric test of rubbers and bootsusing water electrodes.NOTE 1Water used as electrodes

14、should have a minimum conduc-tance of 0.25 mho.5.2 PrecautionsIt is recommended that the test apparatusbe designed to afford the operator full protection in perfor-mance of his duties.
