Summary of Test Method33.1 After being saturated with a gas (usually hydrogen), theinsulating liquid is subjected to a radial ele
6、ctrical stress. Thegas space above the insulating liquid film is ionized due to theelectrical stresses and therefore the insulating liquid surface atthe insulating liquid-gas interface is subjected to ionic bom-bardment. The evolving or absorbing of gas is calculated involume per unit of time from c

Significance and Use4.1 For certain applications when insulating liquid isstressed at high voltage gradients,
8、it is desirable to be able todetermine the rate of gas evolution or gas absorption underspecified test conditions. At present time correlation of suchtest results with equipment performance is limited.4.2 In this test method, hydrogen (along with low molecularweight hydrocarbons) is generated by ion
9、ic bombardment ofsome insulating liquid molecules and absorbed by chemicalreaction with other insulating liquid molecules. The valuereported is the net effect of these two competing reactions. Thearomatic molecules or unsaturated portions of molecules pres-ent in insulating liquids are largely respo
10、nsible for thehydrogen-absorbing reactions. Both molecule type, as well asconcentration, affects the gassing tendency result. Saturatedmolecules tend to be gas evolving. The relation betweenaromaticity and quantity of unsaturates of the insulating liquidand gassing tendency is an indirect one and ca

F
12、or the testconditions, the activating gas hydrogen, in contrast to othergases, for example, nitrogen, enhances the discrimination ofdifferences in the absorption-evolution patterns exhibited bythe insulating liquids. Insulating liquids shown to have gas-absorbing (H2) characteristics in the test hav
13、e been used toadvantage in reducing equipment failures, particularly cablesand capacitors. However, the advantage of such insulatingliquids in transformers is not well defined and there has beenno quantitative relationship established between the gassingtendency as indicated by this test method and
14、the operatingperformance of the equipment. This test method is not con-cerned with bubble evolution, which may arise from physicalprocesses associated with super-saturation of gases in oil orwater vapor bubbles evolving from wet insulation.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committe

See Note 1.6.2 Dibutyl Phthalate, reagent grade.6.3 2-Propanol, reagent grade.6.4 Low vapor pressure grease, such as high vacuumsilicone grease.6.5 Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended that all re-agents shall conform to the Committee o
28、n Analytical Reagentsof the American Chemical Society.NOTE 1Hydrogen normally is the saturating gas but other gases, suchas nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, or air may be used.7. Preparation of Apparatus7.1 Clean the glass cell by first rinsing it inside and outsidewith a suitable hydrocarbon solven
29、t such as heptane or othersolvent suitable for the dielectric liquid test tested. Then fill thecell with the hydrocarbon solvent and scrub to remove waxydeposits from previous tests. Clean the tapered joint, takingcare that none of the grease enters the cell. Again rinse withhydrocarbon solvent and
30、blow dry with clean compressed air.Check the silver electrode and repair if necessary.7.2 Clean the hollow electrode by blowing a suitable hy-drocarbon solvent through the capillary tube with compressedair, rinsing the insulating liquid off the entire electrode with asuitable hydrocarbon solvent, su
31、ch as heptane, and wiping offany waxy deposit with tissue paper. Polish the surface with a2-propanol soaked towel. If there are visible marks on thestainless steel shaft of the electrode, they should be polishedwith a suitable device, such as a buffing wheel, wiping off theFIG. 1 Schematic Diagram o

Procedure8.1 Introduce 5 6 0.1 mL of the insulating liquid sampleinto the glass cell by means of a hypodermic syringe.8.2 Lightly coat the TFE-fluorocarbon plug of the electrodewith the test insulating liquid or low vapor pressure siliconegrease and insert the electrode into the gla
35、ss cell.NOTE 2It has been found helpful to place a few drops of the testinsulating liquid on top of the TFE-fluorocarbon plug to act as a gas-seal.If there is a leak, use of the oil may help detect it through the appearanceof gas bubbles at the top of the Teflon plug.8.3 Bring the oil bath up to 80C
36、 (for some applications itmay be desirable to use 60C; in either case, report testtemperature as indicated in 10.1.1). Suspend the gassing celland buret assembly in the oil bath at the level indicated in Fig.1, and connect the lead from the outside electrode to ground.8.4 Attach the gas inlet and ou
37、tlet connections. When usinghydrogen, the gas outlet should lead outside the building, eitherdirectly or through a fume hood.8.5 Close the stopcock (D) and open the valve (E) to allowthe saturating gas to bubble through the test insulating liquidand the buret liquid at a steady rate (about 3 bubbles
38、/s) for 10min.8.6 Open the stopcock (D) and continue bubbling thesaturating gas through the test insulating liquid for an addi-tional 5 min.8.7 After a total of 15 min of gas bubbling, close the firstvalve (E) and then the stopcock (D), making certain the liquidlevels in the two legs of the buret ar
39、e equal.8.8 Connect the high-voltage lead to the center electrode.8.9 Place the transparent safety shield in position and takethe buret reading after checking the bath temperature.NOTE 3To facilitate reading the buret, it has been found helpful toilluminate the buret scale and to use a magnifying gl
40、ass or a small opticalmagnifying device.8.10 Turn on the high voltage and adjust to 10 kV. Recordthe time and voltage, as well as the buret level, and check theobservation slit on the outer electrode for onset of the gassingreaction.8.11 After 10 min, record the buret level, voltage, and bathtempera
41、ture.8.12 After an additional 50 min, again record the buretlevel, voltage, and bath temperature, and turn off the voltage.8.13 To ensure the equipment is operating correctly it isrecommended that the buret level be read every 10 min untilthe test is terminated.Aplot of the readings versus time shou
42、ldgive a reasonably straight line. If the data are widely scattered,the equipment should be checked and the test rerun.8.14 For oils with very low gassing tendencies, it may benecessary to stop the test to vent the manometer. The total gasabsorbed is the sum of the gas absorbed before and afterventi
43、ng.8.15 Repeat the procedure on a fresh test specimen, 8.1 8.13.9. Calculation9.1 Calculate the gassing tendency as follows:G 5B602 B10!K/Twhere:G = gassing tendency, L/min,B60= buret reading, mm, at 60 min of test,B10= buret reading, mm, at 10 min of test,K = buret constant = Lmm buret reading, (se
44、e AppendixX2) andT = test time of computed gassing rate, min = 60 10 = 50min.NOTE 4This will result in an answer which will be positive ( + ) if gasis evolved, and negative () if gas is absorbed.9.2 Take the average of the two values of G. If the averagevalues are different by more than 0.3 + 0.26 |
45、X|, then the testshould be repeated. Where |X| is the absolute value of duplicatedeterminations in microliters per minute. Duplicate analysesare performed because it is difficult to detect when a problemoccurs during a test. The equation to determine when duplicateanalysis are acceptable is based on
46、 general experiences and isnot derived from a round-robin program for this test method.9.3 See Appendix X1 to determine the electrical stress forthe electrode system and dielectric liquids.10.
