Significance and Use
The test methods referenced in these test methods are useful for control purposes during the manufacture and use of solventless varnishes.
Scope
1.1 These test methods cover solventless varnishes used primarily as electrical, mechanical, and environmental protection for electrical equipment.
1.2 These test methods are used on solventless varnishes that are applied by dipping (at atmospheric pressure conditions or under vacuum or other certain pressure), spraying, or brushing for the purpose of impregnating or sealing electrical equipment. The following test methods are included:
| Property Tests (Uncured): | Section |
| Density | |
| Flash Point | |
| Gel Time | |
| Monomer Content | |
| Rheological Properties (Non-Newtonian) | |
| Brookfield Viscosity | |
| Performance Property Tests (cured): | |
| Bond Strength | |
| Coating Thickness | |
| Dielectric Strength | |
| Dielectric Strength-Using Metal Panels | |
| Permittivity and Dissipation Factor | |
| Build |
