Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms used in this test method, refer to Terminology D1711.4. Summary of Test Method4.
12、1 This test method measures the specific viscosity of a solution of the paper in cupriethylenediamine. From this measurementthe intrinsic viscosity of the solution is deduced, and from this the degree of polymerization is easily calculated.4.2 This test method follows very closely the procedures spe
13、cified in IEC 60450.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method may be applied applies to all papers made from unmodified cellulose, as used in transformer, cable, orcapacitor manufacture. It applies to new or aged papers. For information, Appendix X1 shows an example of statistical distributionof D
14、Pv values for new papers intended for the insulation of transformers, together with information relative to cable and capacitorpapers. Nevertheless, where evaluating the decomposition stage of aged papers, take care to use, as a reference, the DPv value ofthe new paper of the very same origin; DPv o
15、f new papers being a function, among other factors, of their specific gravity and oftheir manufacturing process.5.2 This test method can also be used for the determination of the intrinsic viscosity of solutions of chemically modified papers,provided that these dissolve completely in the selection s
16、olvent. This Use this test method should be used with caution when itis applied to papers with mineral fillers.6. Interferences6.1 Lignins, that are present in measurable amounts in most papers and boards, may have an effect on the test results, dependingupon concentration and composition. For this
17、reason, it is important in aging studies to use as a reference samples of the unagedpaper as mentioned in 5.1.6.2 Under some conditions of heat and atmosphere, cross linking of cellulose molecules may occur, resulting in erratic testvalues. This effect has been observed for capacitor tissue in vacuu
18、m at temperatures as low as 110C and for other papers agedin air at higher temperatures.7.

Reagents8.1 Cupriethylene-Diamine Solution:8.1.1 The formula
24、 ascribed to cupriethylene-diamine (CED) is:CuNH22CH22CH22NH2!2#OH!2 (2)This implies a molar ratio of 2 between the concentration of ethylene-diamine and the concentration of copper:CED/Ccu!52 (3)8.1.2 Cupriethylene-diamine solution may be purchased is available for purchase commercially at several

Alternatively the CED solution can be made in the laboratory at its working strength of 1 M by the methods described inAnnex A1.8.1.3 The
26、1 M solution will keep only for a limited time.

The preferred solution time is 2 h; 2 h;however, when the specimen is not satisfactorily dissolved, increase the solution time may be increased to a maximum of 18 h.For a specimen of an aged paper, there is little risk of further measurable degradation due to this increase

Then raise the liquid level above the upper mark of the viscometereither by means of air pressure or slight vacuum. Measure the efflux time between the upper and lower mar
37、ks. Make threesuccessive measurements. The difference between the maximum and minimum time of flow shall be less than 0.5 s. If thisrepeatability is not achieved, clean the viscometer as described in 10.1.4. Take a second specimen of the solution that has beenkept at the measurement temperature and
38、make a further series of three measurements. If again the difference is not less than 0.5s, take a new specimen of paper and prepare a fresh solution.10.1.3.4 Under the same conditions, measure the flow time of the solvent. This shall be between 90 and 110 s for the viscometerconstant C stated in 6.
