7、erm Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 varnish, electrical insulating, n a liquid resin sys-tem that is applied to and cured on electrical componentsproviding electrical, mechanical, and environmental protec-tion.3.1.1.1 DiscussionThere are two types of electrical insu-lating varnish: solvent-containin
8、g and solventless. The solvent-containing varnish is a solution, dispersion, or emulsion of apolymer or mixture of polymers in a volatile, nonreactableliquid. The solventless type is a liquid resin system free ofvolatile, nonreactable solvents.3.1.2 For definitions of other terms pertaining to this
9、testmethod, refer to Terminology D 1711.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method determines the volatile organic contentof an electrical insulating varnish. It utilizes a procedure wheredishes containing a known amount of varnish are baked and theamount of volatile organic compound is measured. C
10、alcula-tions are performed to express this in g/L or lb/gal. This testmethod is applicable to all types of varnishes. However,waterborne varnishes while baked under the same conditionsneed to have water content determined and calculations per-formed in accordance with Practice D 3960.4.1.1 During th
11、e cure of electrical insulating varnishes someorganic material is volatilized. A determination of the amountthat is volatilized is useful for estimating the amount of curedvarnish on electrical units and volatile organic emissions froma manufacturing facility.5. Interferences5.1 The amount of volati
12、le organic content determined bythis test method is known to be affected by the rate of airexchange in the baking oven.6. Apparatus6.1 Weighing Dishes, aluminum, approximately 60 mm (238in.) in diameter and 15 mm (58 in.) high on the sides.6.2 Forced-Convection Oven, see Specification D 5423-Type II
