28、ng insulating materials for applications in radiation environments, the component designers should have available reliable test data to compare candidate materials. To be meaningful, the performance data should be obtained on each material by standardized procedures, and the procedures should be des

29、igned to demonstrate the influence that variations of the service conditions have on the significant properties. This point is of particular concern where in normal service conditions low dose rates exist and where the insulation materials have been selected from radiation endurance data obtained fr

30、om tests conducted at high dose rates. Environmental conditions shall be well controlled and documented during the measurement of radiation effects. Important environmental parameters include temperature, reactive medium and mechanical and electrical stresses present during the irradiation. If air i

31、s present, radiation-induced species can enter into reactions with oxygen that would not occur in its absence. This is responsible for an observed influence of the absorbed dose rate for certain types of polymers if irradiated in air. As a result, the resistance may be several orders of magnitude lo

32、wer than when the sample is irradiated under vacuum or in the presence of inert gas. This is generally called the “dose-rate effect“, which is described and reviewed in references 1 to 141. NOTE For the user of this Part of IEC 60544 who wants to go into more detail, the cited references are listed

33、in the Bibliography. Where these are not publications in internationally available journals, addresses where the cited scientific reports can be obtained are given at the end of the references. The irradiation time can become relevant because of time-dependent complications caused by: a) physical ef

34、fects such as diffusion-limited oxidation 8, 10; and b) chemical phenomena such as rate-determining hydroperoxide breakdown reactions 10, 14. Typical diffusion-limited effects are commonly observed in radiation studies of polymers in air. Their importance depends upon the interrelationship of the ge

35、ometry of the polymer with the oxygen permeation and consumption rates, both of which depend upon temperature 10. This means that the irradiation of thick samples in air may result in oxidation only near the air-exposed surfaces of the sample, resulting in material property changes similar to those

36、obtained by irradiation in an oxygen-free environment. Therefore, when the material is to be used in air for a long period of time at a low dose rate, depositing the same total dose at a high dose rate in a short exposure period may not determine its durability. Previous experiments or consideration

37、s of sample thickness combined with estimates of oxygen permeation and consumption rates 8, 10 may eliminate such concerns. A technique that may be useful for eliminating oxygen diffusion effects by increasing the surrounding oxygen pressure is under investigation 8. Radiation-induced reactions will

38、 be influenced by temperature. An increase in reaction rate with temperature can result in a synergistic effect of radiation and heat. In the case of the more commonly used thermal ageing prediction, the Arrhenius method is employed; this makes use of an equation based on fundamental chemical kineti

39、cs. Despite considerable ongoing investigations of radiation ageing methodologies, this field is much less developed 9. General equations involving dose, time, Arrhenius activation energy, dose rate and temperature are being tested for modelling of ageing experiments 10-12. It should be noted that s

40、equential application of radiation and heat, as it is frequently practised, can give very different results depending on the order in which they are performed, and that synergistic effects may not be properly simulated 13, 14. The electrical and mechanical properties required of insulating materials

41、 and the acceptable amount of radiation-induced changes are so varied that it is not possible to establish _ 1References in square brackets refer to the bibliography. BS EN 60544-2:201260544-2 IEC:2012 7 acceptable properties within the framework of a recommendation. The same holds for the irradiati

42、on conditions. Therefore, this standard recommends only a few properties and irradiation conditions which previous experience has shown to be appropriate. The properties recommended are those that are especially sensitive to radiation. For a specific application, other properties may have to be sele

43、cted. Part 1 of IEC 60544 constitutes an introduction dealing very broadly with the problems involved in evaluating radiation effects. It also provides a guide to dosimetry terminology, several methods of determining the exposure and absorbed dose, and methods of calculating the absorbed dose in any

44、 specific material from the dosimetry method applied. The present part describes procedures for irradiation and test. Part 4 of IEC 60544 defines a classification system to categorize the radiation endurance of insulating materials. It provides a set of parameters characterizing the suitability for

45、radiation service. It is a guide for the selection, indexing and specification of insulating materials. The earlier Part 3 of IEC 60544 has been incorporated into the present Part 2.

46、ION ON INSULATING MATERIALS Part 2: Procedures for irradiation and test 1 Scope This Part of IEC 60544 specifies the controls maintained over the exposure conditions during and after the irradiation of insulating materials with ionizing radiation prior to the determination of radiation-induced chang

47、es in physical or chemical properties. This standard specifies a number of potentially significant irradiation conditions as well as various parameters which can influence the radiation-induced reactions under these conditions. The objective of this standard is to emphasize the importance of selecti

48、ng suitable specimens, exposure conditions and test methods for determining the effect of radiation on appropriately chosen properties. Since many materials are used either in air or in inert environments, standard exposure conditions are recommended for both of these situations. It should be noted

49、that this standard does not consider measurements which are performed during the irradiation. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
