ASTM D4652 Standard Specification for Silicone Fluid Used for Electrical Insulation
ASTM D4652电绝缘用硅酮液的标准规范
This specification covers silicone fluid, polydimethylsiloxane, for use in transformers, capacitors, and electronic assemblies as an insulating or cooling medium, or both. Physical, electrical, and chemical tests shall be conducted on the specimen to check for quality conformance. The silicone fluid shall conform to the color, flash point, fire point, pour point, refractive index, viscosity, specific gravity, weight of volatile matter, dielectric breakdown, disk electrodes, VDE electrodes, dissipation factor, volume resistivity, neutralization number, water content, and PCB content requirements.
