8、N3. Scope3.1 This test method covers the determination of the self-adhesion of unsupported, self-fusing silicone rubber rectangu-lar and taper-edge (Note 1) tape designed for use as electricalinsulation.NOTE 1Taper-edge tape includes such cross sections as triangular,lens, etc.4. Significance and Us
9、e4.1 Self-adhesion is a primary initial property since it affectslayer-to-layer bonding. The integrity of the bond can signifi-cantly affect the electrical and physical performance of theinsulation system. Therefore, the degree of self-adhesion isdirectly related to apparatus performance.4.2 A high
10、degree of self-adhesion is desirable for mostelectrical applications. In this test, a short unwinding lengthindicates a high degree of self-adhesion.4.3 This test method has been found useful as a qualitycontrol test for lot acceptance.5.

United States1(15.9-mm) diameter aluminum rod mounted in low-frictionbearings. Good alignment of bearings is necessary for accurateresults. When properly
15、 assembled, the mandrel shall turn freelywhen loaded with a 1-oz (30-g) weight suspended from acotton thread wound in a single layer at the center of themandrel.5.2 Weights, as specified in Section 7 and means forattachment.6. Test Specimen6.1 A test specimen shall consist of two pieces of tape 12 t
16、o15 in. (300 to 380 mm) long. Divisions spaced 1 in. (25.4 mm)apart shall be marked off on one piece of tape. If tapes containan interliner, the interliner shall be removed just prior towrapping the mandrel. Dirt and other forms of contaminationshall be avoided.7. Procedure7.1 WindingHalf lap the un
17、marked specimen perfectly onthe mandrel of the test fixture, using the suggested weight asshown in Table 1. These weights are not critical. However, theyare necessary to get intimate contact and conformability of thetape. To obtain perfect half lapping, tilt the tack tester at anappropriate angle as
18、 shown in Fig. 1. Wrap the tape on themandrel at a speed of approximately 18 in. (450 mm)/min.Using the winding procedure and weights just described, halflap the marked tape sample on the mandrel over the first pieceof tape. With the winding weight attached, return the testfixture to a horizontal po
19、sition and allow the tape to bond for1 min. Remove the winding weight from the tape and thehandle from the fixture and proceed with the unwinding test.7.2 UnwindingAfter the tape has bonded for 1 min, attacha load of 21 oz (600 g)/in. (25 mm) of the original tape width(Note 2).Attach the weight to t
20、he free end of the tape by meansof a bulldog paper clamp or other suitable device. Release theweight and record the length of tape unwound in 3 min.Although the original 1-in. dimensions will elongate due to theunwind weight, consider each division as one unit. While thewinding weights are not criti
21、cal, the use of proper unwindingweights is mandatory. Consistent and comparable results de-pend upon accurate width measurements and the use of theproper unwinding weight.NOTE 2Commercial tapes are usually made to a 6116-in. (61.59-mm) tolerance. Therefore a 600-g weight shall be used for tapes vary
22、ingin width from1516 to 1116 in. (23.8 to 27 mm); a 750-g weight shall beused for tapes varying in width from 1316 to 1516 in. (30.2 to 33.3 mm) anda 900-g weight shall be used for tapes varying in width from 1716 to1916 in. (36.5 to 39.7 mm). Tapes with widths outside these ranges shall betested in
23、 accordance with their width (determined to the nearest116 in.(1.59 mm). For example, a 118-in. (28.6 mm) wide tape shall be testedwith a 675-g weight. The unwinding weights shall be made to a toleranceof 6 2%.8. Report8.1 Report the following information:8.1.1 Description of material, type of cross
24、-section, tapewidth and thickness,8.1.2 Winding weight, in grams,8.1.3 Unwinding weight, in grams, and8.1.4 Length of unwind, to the nearest14 unit.9. Precision and Bias9.1 This test method has been in use for many years, but noinformation has been presented to ASTM upon which to basea statement of
25、precision. No activity has been planned todevelop such information.9.2 This test method has no bias because the value foradhesion is determined solely in terms of this test methoditself.BOND STRENGTH10.

Scope18.1 This test method covers determination of the break-down voltage of unsupported bondable silicone rubber tapeswith tapered edges (Note 3) for use as electrical insulation.18.2 The method to be used for rectan
43、gular cross sectiontapes is described in Test Methods D1458.NOTE 3Tapes with tapered edges include such cross sections astriangular and lens-shaped.19. Significance and Use19.1 The level of dielectric breakdown voltage as deter-mined by this test is one measure of the quality of both materialand fab
44、rication methods used in producing the tape. It is notappropriate to make direct comparisons between this voltageD2148 133value and the results of tests made on rectangular cross sectiontapes. For further details, refer to Test Method D149.20. Apparatus20.1 Test Fixture, It shall be designed to supp
45、ort a remov-able mandrel18 in. (15.9 mm) in diameter and about (20 in.)(500 mm) in length. One example of the type of fixture is amodification of the one described in 5.1.20.2 Voltage Source, capable of applying alternating voltageand increasing it at the rate of 500 V/s. This equipment shallconform
46、 to the requirements of Test Method D149.21. Test Specimen21.1 The test specimen shall consist of lengths of bondabletape about 0.75 to 2 in. (19 to 50 mm) wide and of sufficientlength to cover the entire mandrel.21.2 Adjust the mandrel to such an angle as will provide ahalf-lapped tape on winding.
47、Wrap the tape on the mandrel ata linear speed of 18 in.(450 mm)/min using the winding weightshown in Table 2.NOTE 4Winding weights are based on cross sectional area and havebeen selected to approximate the same unit stress for all cross sections.For tapes of dimensions other than listed, use a windi

(100 mm) between electrodes andfrom electrodes to the end of the mandrel. For example, inevaluating 0.030-in. (0.75-mm)
49、 tapes, three electrodes shall beplaced on a 20-in. (500-mm) long mandrel.21.3.1 If thicker tapes, which require higher voltage tofailure, are tested, they will often require more distancebetween electrodes in order to avoid flashover.21.3.2 Intimate contact between electrodes and tape surfaceis required for accurate results.
