Terminology6.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:6.1.1 conditioning (of resin-coated glass fabrics or glassfabric tapes), nthe process of exposing test specimens of thematerial to a specified temperature,
18、or to an atmosphere ofspecified relative humidity and temperature, for a specifiedperiod of time.7. Significance and Use7.1 The electrical properties of resin-coated glass fabrics areaffected by their temperature and moisture content. For thisreason it is necessary to control these properties for a
19、specifiedtime immediately prior to testing in order to attain reasonablygood reproducibility of test values. The time of exposure to theconditioning atmosphere must be long enough to permit thetest specimen to reach a relatively stable value. Usually themoisture content of these materials has little
20、 effect on themechanical properties.8. Conditioning8.1 Unless otherwise specified in the individual test meth-ods, condition test specimens as described in 8.1.1, 8.1.2,or8.1.3. In matters of dispute, consider 8.1.2 the referee method.Use the method described in 8.1.3 only if specifically agreedupon
21、 by the producer and consumer.8.1.1 Condition the test specimen for 48 h in the StandardLaboratory Atmosphere (50 6 2 % relative humidity at atemperature of 23 6 1 C (73.4 6 1.8 F), and conduct thetests in the Standard Laboratory Atmosphere.8.1.2 Condition the test specimen for 48 h in the StandardL
22、aboratory Atmosphere (50 6 2 % relative humidity at atemperature of 23 6 1 C (73.4 6 1.8 F), and conduct thetests immediately upon removal of the test specimen from theconditioning room or chamber.8.1.3 Do not condition the test specimens if it is desired totest the material in the condition as rece
23、ived by the purchaser,but allow the packages containing the rolls of cloth or tapefrom which the specimens are to be taken to reach approxi-mately test-room temperature before the packages are openedand the specimens cut. Remove the specimens to be testedfrom the roll as required and test immediatel

Terminology9.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:9.2 weight (of resin-coated glass cloth and glass clothtapes), nthe weight per unit area as determined in accordancewith this method. It is usually expressed in pounds per squareyard for a specified n
25、ominal thickness.10. Significance and Use10.1 The ratio of resin weight to glass cloth weight, withinand between shipments, can be determined from the weight ofresin-coated glass cloth and glass cloth tape and the weight ofthe cloth base. This ratio is a factor in determining the electricalcharacter
26、istics of the material. Weight values are useful forestimating weight in designing electrical equipment containinga constituent part of resin-coated cloth or tape.11. Procedure11.1 Determine the weight per unit area using the methodgiven in Test Methods D 295.THREAD COUNT12. Terminology12.1 Definiti
27、ons of Terms Specific to This Standard:12.1.1 thread count, nThe thread count of resin-coatedglass cloth refers to the count of the number of threads presentin the base glass cloth per linear inch (centimetre) of length orwidth, respectively.13. Significance and Use13.1 Thread count, together with t
28、he weight and the widthof the glass cloth, is accepted as the common means fordesignating and identifying cloth constructions.13.2 Certain of the physical and electrical properties ofwoven fabrics are dependent on thread count. That is, assumingthe same size of yarn, an increase in thread count incr

Report15.1 The results of the warp or filling count shall bereported as threads per inch (centimetre).NOTE 2B
31、efore counting black resin-coated materials, it will benecessary to remove the resin film with a knife blade or other suitableinstrument. As an alternative method, liquid resin removers may be usedfor this purpose, provided specimens are dried before the thread count istaken.THICKNESS16. Terminology
32、16.1 Definition:16.1.1 thickness (of an electrical insulating material),nthe perpendicular distance between the two surfaces ofinterest, determined in accordance with a standard method.17. Significance and Use17.1 This test is of value in determining whether thematerial meets specified tolerances fo
33、r thickness. In addition,thickness values are essential because of the importance ofspace factor in designing electrical equipment.17.2 Determination of dielectric strength, usually expressedin volts per mil, also necessitates thickness measurements.18. Test Specimens18.1 In the case of fabrics, cut
34、 a specimen 1 in. (25.4 mm)wide across the entire width.18.2 In the case of tapes, remove the specimens fromsamples selected in accordance with Section 3. Prepare speci-mens 36 in. (914 mm) long.19. Procedure19.1 Unless otherwise specified, measure the thickness inaccordance with Method C of Test Me
35、thods D 374 with thefollowing modifications:19.1.1 In making thickness measurements, use only onelayer of the material.19.1.2 In the case of fabrics, take ten measurements equallyspaced across the width of the specimen. The thickness of thecloth is the average of the ten measurements.19.1.3 In the c
36、ase of tapes, unless otherwise specified, taketen measurements equally spaced along the length of eachspecimen. The thickness of the tape is the average of the tenmeasurements.19.1.4 The diameter of the pressure foot is 0.250 6 0.001in. (6.356 0.03 mm) and the diameter of the anvil is at least 2in.
37、(50 mm). The pressure on the pressure foot (dead weight) is25 6 2 psi or 172 6 14 kPa.19.1.5 Methods A and C of Test Methods D 374 shall not beconsidered interchangeable.19.2 Method B of Test Methods D 374 may be used uponspecific agreement between the producer and consumer.20. Report20.1 Report the
38、 average, maximum, and minimum thick-nesses, in inches, reported to the nearest 0.0001 in. (0.0025mm).21. Precision and Bias21.1 This test method has been in use for many years, but noinformation has been presented to ASTM upon which to basea statement of precision. No activity has been planned tode
39、velop such information.21.2 This test method has no bias because the value forthickness is determined solely in terms of this test methoditself.BREAKING STRENGTH22. Terminology22.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:22.2 breaking strength (of resin-coated glass cloths andglass cloth tape
40、s), nthe force per unit width required to breakthe cloth or tapes when tested under certain prescribed condi-tions.23. Significance and Use23.1 The breaking strength of finished cloth and tape is ofimportance as a measure of its ability to withstand reasonablepulling without failure while being appl
41、ied in service.24. Apparatus24.1 Use a constant rate of elongation type tensile testingmachine as described in Test Method D 828.25. Test Specimens25.1 From full-width fabric samples or from sample rolls oftapes over 1 in. (25.4 mm) in width cut specimens 1 in. inwidth (Note 3) and not less than 12
42、in. (305 mm) in length. Fortape having a nominal width of 1 in. or under, preparespecimens of the original width and not less than 12 in. inlength.NOTE 3In the case of specimens 1 in. in width and having ultimatebreaking loads above the capacity of the machine, it is permissible toreduce the width o
43、f the specimen to 0.5 in. (12.7 mm).25.2 In the case of fabrics, cut five specimens with the sidesparallel to the warp threads and five with the sides parallel tothe filling threads (Note 4), from samples selected in accor-dance with Section 4.NOTE 4Frequently the fill threads of glass fabrics used
44、to manufac-ture resin-coated glass fabrics do not run in a straight line and are notperpendicular to the warp threads. Breaking strength from specimens cutperpendicular to the warp thread may, therefore, be highly variable.25.3 In the case of tapes, cut five specimens from each rollselected in accor
45、dance with 3.3.D90206326. Procedure26.1 Maintain the clearance distance between jaws at 6 in.(153 mm).26.2 The rate of separation of the jaws must be 12 6 0.5in/min (305 6 13 mm/min).26.3 Reject all readings obtained when the specimen breaksat or in the jaws.27. Report27.1 The breaking strength of a
46、 roll of fabric or tape is theaverage of the breaking strengths of all the specimens testedfrom the roll. Report the average, maximum, and minimumbreaking strengths in pounds per inch width (or newtons permetre), together with the width and nominal thickness.27.2 In the case of fabrics, report the b
47、reaking strengths ofthe warp threads and the filling threads separately.28. Precision and Bias28.1 This test method has been in use for many years, but noinformation has been presented to ASTM upon which to basea statement of precision. No activity has been planned todevelop such information.28.2 Th
48、is test method has no bias because the value forbreaking strength is determined solely in terms of this testmethod itself.DIELECTRIC BREAKDOWN VOLTAGE ANDDIELECTRIC STRENGTH29.

49、gy D 1711.30. Significance and Use30.1 Dielectric strength of resin-coated glass fabric or tapeinsulating material is of significance for the following reasons:30.1.1 Insulating materials are subjected to electricalstresses in service for long periods of time. Although theseservice stresses are usually a small fraction of the breakdownstresses determined by dielectric strength tests, it has beenfound that, for any given material, the service stresses which itcan withstand during its life bear some relation to the break-down stresses obtained in the dielectric streng
