Solvent-containing types are solutions, dispersions or emulsions

Summary of Test Method4.1 Flexural strength of the helical coils is measured peri-odically after exposure to seve
17、ral exposure temperatures. Thetime to reach an arbitrarily selected value of bond strength ateach exposure temperature is determined. The logarithms ofthese times in hours are plotted as a function of the reciprocaltemperature (1/K) to give an Arrhenius plot.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test meth
18、od is used to determine the effect ofexposure to elevated temperatures on the bond strength ofcombinations of magnet wire insulations and electrical insu-lating varnishes. The results are used as a guide for thecomparison and selection of varnishes and combinations ofvarnishes and magnet wire insula
19、tion for specific applications.Test Methods D 1932, D 3251, and D 3850 describe additionaltests for determining the thermal endurance of insulatingvarnishes. A comprehensive evaluation of thermal characteris-tics includes a comparison of the thermal endurance deter-mined in these different ways.5.2
20、This test method is useful for research and productqualifications purposes.6. Apparatus6.1 Testing Machine, see Test Method D 2519.6.2 Test Fixture, see Test Method D 2519.6.3 Ovens, see Specification D 5423, Type II.7. Hazards7.1 It is unsafe to use varnish at temperatures above flashpoint without
21、adequate ventilation, especially if the possibilityexists that flames or sparks are present. Store varnish in sealedcontainers.8. Test Specimen8.1 Prepare 60 or more specimens for each exposure tem-perature, following the procedure specified in Test MethodD 2519.9. Selection of Test Temperatures9.1
22、Expose the material to at least three temperatures.Choose the lowest temperature such that it is not more than 25C higher than the estimated temperature index. Separateexposure temperatures from each other by at least 10 C,preferably 20 C.9.2 Select exposure temperatures in accordance with thoseshow
23、n in Table 1 as indicated by the anticipated temperatureindex of the material under test. It is recommended thatexploratory tests be first made at the highest temperature toobtain data establishing the 100 h minimum endpoint timerequirement, and that this be used as a guide for the selectionof the l
24、ower test temperatures.9.3 Choose the exposure temperature so that any essentiallylinear portions of the Arrhenius plot (log of time to failureversus the reciprocal of the absolute temperature) is wellestablished; that is, confirm the suspicion of significant non-linearity by test at one or more add
25、itional temperatures.Generally the additional temperatures are lower than the onespreviously tested.10. Procedure10.1 Suspend at least 20 sets of coils containing at least 3coils in each set vertically in each oven.10.2 Periodically remove one set of coils and condition 2 hat standard laboratory con
26、ditions in accordance with PracticeD 6054. Measure flexural strength at room temperature inaccordance with Test Method D 2519.10.3 The length of the exposure period and the number ofcoils tested per cycle will depend on the deterioration rate ateach exposure temperature. The exposure period will be
27、longerat the start, shorter as the deterioration rate increases.10.4 Continue the test until the breaking strength reachesless than 22 N (5 lbf). The end point is that point where thecurve intersects the 22-N (5-lbf) line, or other specified value.11. Calculation11.1 Plot the breaking strength value
28、 after each exposureperiod versus time in hours on a three-decade semilog paperwith time as the ordinate.11.2 From the curve, pick the 22-N (5-lbf) point, or speci-fied value, and record the number of hours to reach this point.This is to be done for each temperature and will be known asthe end point
29、 at that temperature.11.3 In order to calculate the temperature index, data mustbe available from a minimum of three exposure temperatures.TABLE 1 Suggested Exposure Temperatures and Cycle DurationsACycleDuration,dayTemperatures Corresponding to the Estimated Temperature Index Range, CB,CClass 105 C
