Standard Test Methods for Bondable Silicone Rubber Tapes Used for Electrical Insulation
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
Scope
1.1 These test methods cover tests for bondable silicone rubber tapes which form a sealed structure either with the application of heat (and pressure if needed) or by the process of auto-adhesion (self-fusing).
1.2 The methods appear in the following sections:
Test Method | Section |
|
|
Adhesion | 3 – 10 |
Bond Strength | 11 – 18 |
Dielectric Breakdown Voltage | 19 – 26 |
Hardness | 41 |
Length | 33 and 34 |
Thickness | 27 – 32 |
Width | 36 – 40 |
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard, except for °C. The values in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For a specific hazard statement see 23.1.1.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
Significance and Use
5.1 Self-adhesion is a primary initial property since it affects layer-to-layer bonding. The integrity of the bond can significantly affect the electrical and physical performance of the insulation system. Therefore, the degree of self-adhesion is directly related to apparatus performance.
5.2 A high degree of self-adhesion is desirable for most electrical applications. In this test, a short unwinding length indicates a high degree of self-adhesion.
5.3 This test method has been found useful as a quality control test for lot acceptance.
