ASTM D6097-16 PDF

Scope: 1.1 This test method covers the relative resistance to vented water-tree growth in solid translucent thermoplastic or crosslinked electrical insulating materials. This test method is especially applicable to extruded polymeric insulation materials used in medium-voltage cables. 1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.3 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitation prior to use. For specific hazard statements see 8.1. 1.4 There is no similar or equivalent IEC standard.
