Thevariation is such that the aniline point may not be a dependableindicator of solvency of some materials in natural esterinsulating fluids.X2.1.2 Interfa

27、cial TensionInterfacial tension performancecriteria are being assessed; therefore, requirements have notbeen established. Interfacial tension of new natural esterinsulating fluids, typically in the 26 to 30 mN/m range, is lowerthan that of new mineral oil.X2.1.3 Pour PointThe pour point of a natural

28、 esterinsulating fluid is important as an index of the lowest tempera-ture to which the material may be cooled without seriouslylimiting the degree of circulation. Some natural ester fluids aresensitive to prolonged storage at low temperatures, and theirpour points may not adequately predict their l

29、ow temperatureflow properties.X2.2 Electrical PropertiesX2.2.1 Dissipation FactorDissipation factor (power fac-tor) is a measure of the dielectric losses in fluid. A lowdissipation factor indicates low dielectric losses and a low levelof soluble contaminants. Natural ester insulating fluids usuallyh

30、ave higher dissipation factors than mineral insulating oils,especially at elevated temperatures.X2.3 Chemical PropertiesX2.3.1 Water ContentA low water content of natural esterinsulating fluid is necessary to achieve adequate electricalstrength and low dielectric loss characteristics, to maximize th

31、einsulation system life, and to minimize metal corrosion.Reagents for aldehydes and ketones should be used. Thestandard reagents for mineral oil may yield both elevated anderratic results. The amount of water required to saturate naturalester insulating fluid at room temperature is roughly 20 timest

32、hat of mineral insulating oil. Comparisons to mineral insulat-ing oil should be made on a percent saturation (relativesaturation) basis rather than using absolute water content.X2.3.2 Neutralization NumberA low total acid content ofa natural ester insulating fluid is necessary to minimizeelectrical

33、conduction and metal corrosion and to maximize thelife of the insulation system. The neutralization numberstypical of natural ester insulating fluids are usually higher thanthose of mineral insulating oils. Natural ester insulating oilstend to form long-chain fatty acids. Mineral insulating oils ten

34、dto form shorter chain organic acids.X2.3.3 Oxidation Inhibitor ContentThe oxidation inhibi-tor additives that may be present in natural ester insulatingfluids vary by manufacturer. The manufacturer should becontacted to obtain information and recommended analysismethods for additives.X2.3.4 Oxidati

35、on StabilityOxidation stability require-ments and appropriate test methods for natural ester insulatingfluids have not been established. Oxidation stability perfor-mance criteria are being assessed, and may differ for sealedsystems, conservators, and free-breathing apparatus.ASTM International takes
