Historical Standard: ASTM D6097-01 Standard Test Method for Relative Resistance to Vented Water-Tree Growth in Solid Dielectric Insulating Materials
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D6097
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the relative resistance to vented water-tree growth in solid translucent thermoplastic or cross-linked electrical insulating materials. This test method is especially applicable to extruded polymeric insulation materials used in medium-voltage cables.
1.2 The values given in SI units are to be regarded as the 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.
1.3 There is no similar or equivalent IEC standard.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
