ASTM D116 Vitrified Ceramics for Electrical Applications
Vitrified ceramics have been used in several electrical applications, including producing electrical insulators that are in high demand because of their excellent mechanical properties and durability. ASTM D116 is a set of methods that explain the manufacturing and applications of ceramic insulators.
Scope:
The insulators used in ASTM D116 are inert, non-conductive, and gas-tight, due to which they do not interact with the sample, and the analysis can be done accurately. Ceramic insulators can be semi-automated or fully automated and insulate temperature-controlled enclosures or electrically conductive materials. The use of these insulators avoids the risk of power loss, audible noise, electromagnetic interference, purple glow, insulation damage, and ozone production
Procedure:
In ASTM D116, the ceramic sample under observation is dried and powdered. It is then passed through a sieve during the analysis. The resultant powder is mixed according to the required batch composition. The sample is kept in a furnace overnight. Using a hydraulic press, a cylindrical mold is prepared. This mold is held in the furnace at a desired high temperature.
Specimen Size :
For ASTM D116, the specimen size of ceramics varies with its nature of application in different forms in different devices. In the case of ceramic insulators, the sample size lies in the range of micrograms to milligrams.
Data:
The boiling method is used in ASTM D116 to assess the physical properties like bulk density and apparent porosity. A high voltage machine measures the dielectric strength of the ceramic insulator by computing the breakdown voltage. A field emission scanning electron microscope measures the morphological features of the ceramic insulators.
Conclusion:
ASTM D116 is a set of methods that explain the manufacturing and applications of ceramic insulators.
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
