ASTM D2148

ASTM D2148 – Standard Test Methods for Bondable Silicone Rubber Tapes Used for Electrical Insulation

Description:

Significance and Use

5.1 Self-adhesion is a primary initial property since it affects layer-to-layer bonding. The integrity of the bond can significantly affect the electrical and physical performance of the insulation system. Therefore, the degree of self-adhesion is directly related to apparatus performance.

5.2 A high degree of self-adhesion is desirable for most electrical applications. In this test, a short unwinding length indicates a high degree of self-adhesion.

5.3 This test method has been found useful as a quality control test for lot acceptance.

Scope

1.1 These test methods cover tests for bondable silicone rubber tapes which form a sealed structure either with the application of heat (and pressure if needed) or by the process of auto-adhesion (self-fusing).

1.2 These test methods appear in the following sections:

     Test MethodSection
  
     Adhesion3 – 10
     Bond Strength11 – 18
     Dielectric Breakdown Voltage19 – 26
     Hardness41
     Length33 and 34
     Thickness27 – 32
     Width36 – 40

1.3 Units—The values stated in SI units are the standard. The inch-pound units in parentheses are for information only. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.
