Conditioning4.1 Condition samples in accordance with Practice D685,except that sampl
16、es shall remain in the conditioned air for notless than 16 h prior to the tests.4.2 The following physical tests shall be made in theconditioned atmosphere: thickness, weight, tensile strength,dielectric strength, and impregnation.5. Precision and Bias5.1 Due to the range of types and grades, and no
17、nuniformnature of commercially available mica papers, no statementcan be made about the precision of these methods when usedon these materials. Neither can a statement about bias be madebecause of the unavailability of standard reference materials.Nevertheless, these methods serve to distinguish bas
18、ic, relativedifferences in properties, and variations in quality among micapapers used in electrical insulation.THICKNESS AND THICKNESS VARIATION6. Terminology Definition6.1 thickness,nof an electrical insulating material, theperpendicular distance between the two surfaces of interest,determined in
19、accordance with a standard method.7. Significance and Use7.1 Accurate determination of thickness is important foridentification purposes. Thickness is related to weight and mustbe known in order to calculate apparent density and thedielectric strength.7.2 Thickness variation affects the quality of r
20、oll windingand is useful in judging the uniformity of mica paper particu-larly with respect to dielectric breakdown voltage, impregna-tion time, and thickness of the end product.8. Test Specimens8.1 Take test specimens from the original samples obtainedin accordance with Section 3 and conditioned as
21、 prescribed inSection 4, and tested under the same conditions.8.2 For all thicknesses of mica paper, the specimen shall bea single sheet.9. Procedure9.1 Determine the thickness in accordance with Test Meth-ods D374. The preferred method shall be Method D with a droprate of 12 6 4 mil/s and a dwell t
22、ime of 3 6 1 s for thicknessof 0.002 to 0.006 in. and 6 6 2 s for + 0.006 in. Method C ofTest Methods D374 is an acceptable alternative.9.2 Take at least five measurements of thickness at regularintervals across the entire width of each specimen, preferablyin a line that is at right angles to the ma
23、chine direction.10. Report10.1 Report in accordance with Test Methods D202 andinclude:10.1.1 Average, minimum, and maximum thickness.WEIGHT11.

24、tion 4, and test under the sameconditions. Report the results as weight in grams per squaremetre.APPARENT DENSITY12. Procedure12.1 Determine the apparent density from the thickness(Sections 810), and the weight (Section 11). Make thethickness and weight determinations on the same sample.Calculate th
25、e apparent density as follows:D 5 A/B (1)where:A = basis weight, kg/m2,B = thickness, m, andD = apparent density, g/cm3.TENSILE STRENGTH13. Significance and Use13.1 The results of the test are suitable for acceptance andproduct control. They are also a means of measuring the abilityof mica paper to
26、withstand the tensile stresses encountered inapplication processes.14. Procedure14.1 Determine the tensile strength in accordance with TestMethods D202, except for specimen width and test span.Sample the material in accordance with Section 3 and condi-tion in accordance with Section 4 and test under
27、 the sameconditions. The specimen shall be 1 to 3 in. (25 to 77 mm)wide. The distance between the jaws shall be 5 in. (127 mm).NOTE 1If excessive fractures occur in or at the edge of either jaw, usea cushion of soft kraft paper or other material between the jaws of theclamps and the specimen.15. Rep

Nomenclature16.1 dielectric strengthRefer to Terminology D1711.17. Signif
29、icance and Use17.1 For mica paper to be used in the untreated state, thistest gives some indication of the electrical strength. For micapaper to be subsequently treated, this test has value as a qualitycontrol test.D1677 17218. Procedure18.1 Determine the dielectric strength in accordance withTest M
30、ethod D149, except sample the material in accordancewith Section 3 and condition in accordance with Section 4, andtest under the same conditions. Make tests in air using 2-in.(50.8-mm) electrodes and the short-time (continuous-rise)method. Determine the average dielectric strength on the basisof ten
31、 dielectric breakdowns.19. Report19.1 Report the following information:19.1.1 Average thickness of the specimen,19.1.2 Average, high, and low breakdown voltage, and19.1.3 Average dielectric strength in volts per mil (orkilovolts per millimetre).IMPREGNATION TIME20. Definition20.1 impregnation time,
32、nof paper, the time in secondsrequired for a liquid of specified composition and viscosity topenetrate completely from one face of a sheet of paper to theother, under certain prescribed conditions.21. Significance and Use21.1 Impregnation time influences the speed and quality ofresin impregnation of
33、 the mica paper.22. Test Specimens22.1 Take test specimens from the original samples obtainedin accordance with Section 3 and conditioned as prescribed inSection 4, and test under the same conditions. Test specimensshall be 3 in. (76 mm) square.23. Procedure23.1 Determine the impregnation time in ac
34、cordance withImpregnation Time of Test Methods D202, except as follows:23.1.1 Use a test solution that is approximately 60 partscastor oil and 40 parts toluene, adjusted to a specific gravity of0.917 6 0.001 at 77F (25C).NOTE 2Use cold pressed castor oil (USP Grade No. 1).23.1.2 Insert a glass plate
35、 between the mica paper and thepaper clamp.23.1.3 The end point is that time at which the paper iscompletely penetrated at a uniform rate of wet out. Particleswhich require substantially longer to wet out will not influencethe determination. Make sure that the penetrated area is 95 to100 % of the su
36、rface. This will vary with the type of micapaper. First make trial tests observing the characteristics of theend point.24. Report24.1 Report the following information:24.1.1 Thickness of the specimen, and24.1.2 Average of five readings.ROLL QUALITY25. Report25.1 Mica paper is chiefly supplied in con
37、tinuous lengths inroll form. Because roll quality determines handling propertiesof the mica paper when it is unwound on combining orimpregnating equipment, the following conditions shall beobserved and reported if they are found to occur in the roll, andto what degree:25.1.1 Sticking of layers to ea
38、ch other,25.1.2 Loose mica platelets,25.1.3 Delamination, separation, or cracking of the micapaper (that is, examine the mica paper for delamination,separation, or cracking when it is unwound and bent back onitself (reverse direction) over a 3-in. diameter mandrel andwhen it is cut across full width
39、 of the roll),25.1.4 Uneven winding tension, loosely wound ends,bagging,25.1.5 Telescoping or coning, indexing of edges,25.1.6 Position of the center of the mica paper with respectto the center of the core on which the mica paper is wound (thatis, does the center of the mica paper coincide with the
40、center ofthe core or is it offset),25.1.7 Shape of roll, for example, degrees of roundness,25.1.8 Crushed roll ends which cause tearing when thematerial is unrolled,25.1.9 Nonlinear edges in which the edge follows a longsine wave, and25.1.10 Any other unusual conditions.MOISTURE CONTENT26. Significa
41、nce and Use26.1 Excessive moisture content will cause raw mica paperto weaken significantly with lengthwise or crosswise tearing,or both, resulting when it is unwound. It has the potential toalso cause polar impregnants, or impregnants that are dissolvedin polar solvents, to impregnate to a higher d
42、egree, or at a fasterrate, or both, than is desired. It has the potential to alsocontribute to blistering of the mica paper when these impreg-nants are dried with heat. It has the potential, in addition, tocause contiguous layers of raw mica paper in the roll to stickto each other, making unwinding
43、difficult or impossible.Excessive moisture will also weaken and soften the cardboardcore upon which the mica paper is customarily rolled. Low-moisture contents are generally not as deleterious in effect,although they can conceivably cause excessive stiffness inthick mica papers.27. Procedure27.1 Det
44、ermine the moisture content in accordance withTest Method D644, except sample the material in accordancewith Section 3. Do not precondition the samples.28. Report28.1 Report the average, minimum, and maximum moisturecontent for all samples tested.D1677 173WEIGHT VARIABILITY29. Significance and Use29
45、.1 The degree of variability of basis weight (mass per unitarea) from point to point on a sheet has an effect on thephysical and electrical properties of which the sheet is acomponent.29.2 In general the variability is greater across the width ofthe sheet than along its length. For this reason, spec
46、imens forthe determination of weight variability must represent theentire width of the material being sampled.30. Procedure30.1 Sample in accordance with Section 3. The sample mustrepresent the entire width of the sheet being evaluated.30.2 Carefully cut ten specimens (see 3.3). The specimensare eit
47、her circular or rectangular, and they shall be as nearlyidentical in size as possible. The area of each specimen shall bebetween 10 and 20 in.2(0.0065 and 0.0130 mm2), and shall beknown for each specimen within 60.5 %.30.3 Space the specimens uniformly across the width of thesample. If the sample is
48、 not of sufficient width to permitspacing across, cut two or more rows of specimens.30.4 Weigh each specimen to the nearest 0.1 mg.31. Report31.1 Report the following information:31.1.1 Identification of the sample,31.1.2 Area of each specimen, or, if the range of areasbetween the smallest and large
49、st specimen differs by less than1%,31.1.3 Basis weight in grams per square metre for eachspecimen,31.1.4 Average basis weight, and31.1.5 Percentage variation of the smallest and largestindividual basis weight values from the average.AQUEOUS EXTRACT CONDUCTIVITY32. Significance and Use32.1 For mica papers that are intended for use in capacitors,the results of this test are indicative of electrical properties ofthe finished capacitor, particularly dissipation factor and insu-lation resistance.33. Procedure and Report33.1 Prepare specimens from samples selected as
