Scope

18.1 This test method provides useful engineering information for evaluating the mechanical behavior of rigid electrical insulation at elevated temperature. When the proper exposure and test temperatures are chosen, depending on the material and end-use operating temperature, use the test method as one means of indicating relative thermal degradation of rigid insulating materials.

1.1 These test methods cover procedures for testing rigid electrical insulation normally manufactured in flat sheet or plate form. They are generally used as terminal boards, spacers, voltage barriers, and circuit boards.

1.2 Use Test Methods D619 (withdrawn) or Specification D710 for tests applying to vulcanized fibre.

1.3 Some of the test methods contained in this standard are similar to those contained in IEC 60893-2, which applies to rigid industrial laminated sheets based on thermosetting resins for electrical purposes.

1.4 The test methods appear in the following sections:

Test	Sections	ASTM  Test Method
Acetone extractable matter	83 to 84	D494
Arc resistance	47	D495
Ash	56 to 60	...
Bonding strength	49 to 54	...
Burning rate and flame resistance	61 to 75	...
Compressive strength	25	D695
