Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the dissi-pation factor and the relative permittivity of

3、natural block micahaving thicknesses between 0.007 and 0.030 in. (0.18 and 0.77mm) and mica films or capacitor splits between 0.0008 and0.004 in. (0.02 and 0.10 mm) in thickness.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The values in parentheses are for information

4、purposes only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety problems, if any, 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.

Select anappropriate electrode system from those given in Section 5.3.2 If a relative order of magnitude of dissipation factor isdesired, the use of Method A in the Appendix of SpecificationD748 is satisfactory.4. Significance and Use4.1 The dissipation factor of natural musc

9、ovite mica, asdetermined by this test method, is of practical importance as ameasure of the electrical energy lost as heat in the mica servingas the dielectric substance of capacitors, or in other applica-tions in which the electric field is applied perpendicular to theplane of cleavage. The dissipa

10、tion factor is particularly impor-tant in applications using mica at radio frequencies and in someless extensive audio frequency applications. This test method issuitable for specification acceptance and dielectric-loss controltests (see the Significance and Use of Test Methods D150).4.2 Relative Pe

11、rmittivity (Dielectric Constant)The per-mittivity of natural muscovite mica is a measure of its relativeability to store electrostatic energy. Since the relative permit-tivity perpendicular to the cleavage plane is fairly uniform,regardless of origin, its practical significance is mainly foridentifi

12、cation purposes, special uses, research, and design. If aloss index is desired, the value of the permittivity must beknown (see the Significance and Use of Test Methods D150).5.

The surfaces of theelectrodes adjacent to the specimen shall be ground andpolished optically flat, and shall be parallel to each other. Theupper electrode shall

Theelectrodes shall be carefully and accurately aligned withoutscratching the surface of the mica specimen. It is recommendedthat a slotted V-shaped jig be provided to aid with the aligningof the e

The electrode assembly shall becylindrical in shape and of the same outside diameter, whichshall be large enough to provide the minimum specifiedcapacitance (Note 3). Two adjustable electrodes having axiallength

A center, or fixed, electrode consisting of a hollow ringapproximately38 in. (9.5 mm) in length shall be mounted at thecenter of

With the test specimensclamped in position, the electrodes shall be in good alignment.As in

27、the case of the flat, steel electrodes, a two-terminalcapacitor is formed with the center electrode serving as theactive or measuring terminal with the outer electrodes that areconnected together by the steel yoke at the ground.NOTE 3Mercury electrodes having diameters of 134 in.

Specimen Preparation and Conditioning6.1 The dielectric properties of mica are affected bytemperature, humidity, pressure, etc. Therefore, preparationand conditioning of the specimen shall be made in thefollowing manner:6.1.1 With the exception of the specim

32、ens used in 5.4,thoroughly and carefully clean the surfaces of the specimenwith a camels-hair brush dipped in petroleum ether or vapordegrease using trichloroethylene. Subsequent to the cleaning,exercise care not to contaminate the surfaces in handling.(WarningPetroleum ether and trichlorethylene ma

33、y be haz-ardous. Use adequately ventilated work areas and observe allprocedures for the safe handling of these liquids. Keep awayfrom open flames.)6.1.2 After cleaning, place each specimen in an air ovenmaintained at 105 to 110C, for a period of 1 h. Upon removalfrom the oven, immediately store the

34、specimen in a desiccatoruntil ready for the test.6.2 Prepare two similar test specimens of approximatelyequal and uniform thickness for each measurement when usingsteel or mercury electrodes (see Section 5).6.3 Only one test specimen is needed for testing withlead-foil electrodes.6.4 Obtain specimen

35、s from the same block or splitting whentwo specimens are used. Each specimen shall have a sufficientarea and thickness to give a total capacitance of not less than200 pF. Test a sufficient number of specimens to obtainrepresentative data.FIG. 1 Mercury Electrode Test AssemblyD1082 00 (2011)27. Proce

36、dure7.1 When steel, mercury, or lead-foil electrodes are used,determine the dissipation factor and relative permittivity of themica in accordance with Test Methods D150 except for sizeand type of electrode.7.2 WarningMercury metal vapor poisoning has longbeen recognized as a hazard in industry. The

37、exposure limitsare set by governmental agencies and are usually based uponrecommendations made by the American Conference of Gov-ernmental Industrial Hygienists.4The concentration of mer-cury vapor over spills from broken thermometers, barometers,and other instruments using mercury can easily exceed

38、 theseexposure limits. Mercury, being a liquid with high surfacetension and quite heavy, will disperse into small droplets andseep into cracks and crevices in the floor. This increased areaof exposure adds significantly to the mercury vapor concen-tration in air. The use of a commercially available

39、emergencyspill kit is recommended whenever a spill occurs. Mercuryvapor concentration is easily monitored using commerciallyavailable sniffers. Make spot checks periodically around op-erations where mercury is exposed to the atmosphere. Makethorough checks after spills.7.3 Certain types of micas are

40、 affected by pressure;therefore, when flat, steel electrodes are used, apply a sufficientrange of pressures (Note 5) so that curves of pressure inpounds-force per square inch versus dissipation factor andrelative permittivity may be plotted.NOTE 5Pressures in the order of 100 to 10 000 psi may be re

41、adilyobtained by the use of an automobile-type hydraulic jack equipped with apressure gauge.7.4 Mercury and lead-foil electrodes give capacitance val-ues comparable with those obtained at the highest pressureswhen using flat, steel electrodes (Note 6). Use clean mercurythat has a bright surface that

42、 is free of scum. Observe healthhazard precautions when using mercury, particularly at el-evated temperatures.NOTE 6In order to satisfactorily compare the dissipation factor andrelative permittivity of various specimens of mica, it may be necessary toinvestigate such properties over a wide frequency

43、 range. However, it isrecommended that at least one measurement be made at 1000 kHz and atemperature of 25 6 5C, at a pressure of 1000 psi if flat steel electrodesare used.8. Calculation8.1 Since two specimens are used in each measurementwhen using steel or mercury electrodes, use the equivalent“par

44、allel thickness” in calculating the relative permittivity asfollows:Te5 1/1/t1!11/t2!# (1)where:Te= equivalent parallel thickness,t1= thickness of the upper specimen, andt2= thickness of the lower specimen.9.
