Establishes test procedures for evaluating pressure-sensitive adhesive-coated tapes used as electrical insulation in electrical and electronic applications.
ASTM D1000-26 specifies procedures for testing pressure-sensitive adhesive-coated tapes used as electrical insulation. It covers Class 1 tapes with non-elastomeric backings and Class 2 tapes with elastomeric backings, including test methods for width, thickness, roll length, breaking strength, elongation, adhesion, unwind force, flagging, dielectric breakdown voltage, insulation resistance, flammability, aging, solvent and oil resistance, puncture resistance, and curling and twisting. The standard also addresses sampling, specimen preparation, conditioning, reporting, precision, bias, and safety precautions.
Application Scope: Testing and quality evaluation of pressure-sensitive adhesive-coated electrical insulation tapes for electrical and electronic applications.
