1、Designation: D 4559 99 (Reapproved 2004)Standard Test Method forVolatile Matter in Silicone Fluid1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4559; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision

2、. 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 describes a procedure for determiningthe volatile matter in silicone fluids used for electrical insula-tion.1.2 T

3、his standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

5、uation of Electrical Insulation3. Summary of Test Method3.1 Specimens are weighed before and after heating for aspecific time in a forced air oven to determine weight loss.4. Significance and Use4.1 High values may indicate contamination of the siliconewith other materials, inadequate removal of vol

6、atile compo-nents by the producer, or the presence of a depolymerizationcatalyst.4.2 The outcome will be affected directly by the presence ofany high vapor pressure material in the sample, such assolvents or low molecular weight silicones.4.3 A high volatile content could also indicate the presenceo

7、f a depolymerization catalyst in the fluid. The time andtemperature specified in this test method are ideal for detectingthe effect of such a material, as the depolymerization takesplace at a highly accelerated rate and the low molecular weightcomponents are rapidly evaporated. The result is a verys

8、ignificant weight loss during the test period. The exact amountdepends on the type and amount of catalyst present. Theconditions specified in the method should not cause measure-able depolymerization of silicone if such a catalyst is notpresent.5. Apparatus5.1 Air-circulating Oven, capable of meetin
