1、Designation:D34913Standard Test Methods forLaminated Round Rods Used for Electrical Insulation1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D349;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A numbe
2、r in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 These test methods cover the procedures for testing rigidround rods used in electrical insulation.These round rodsinclude many types made from
3、fibrous sheets of basicmaterials,such as cellulose,glass,or nylon in the form ofpaper,woven fabrics,or mats,bonded together by natural orsynthetic resins,or by adhesives.Such round rods includevulcanized fiber and thermosetting laminates as well as roundrods made from cast,molded,or extruded natural
4、 or syntheticresins,with or without fillers or reinforcing materials.1.2 The procedures appear in the following sections:SectionCompressive strength(axial)20 25Density28 30Dielectric strength31 39Flexural strength13 19Tensile strength7 12Water absorption26-271.3 The values stated in inch-pound units

10、nditioning treatment for physical test as follows:5.1.1 Tensile,Flexural,and Compressive Strengths,andDensityPrior to test,condition the machined specimens inaccordance with Procedure B of Practice D6054.All specimensshall be tested at room temperature maintained at 23 6 5 C.NOTE1The following are p
11、otential reasons to undertake conditioningof specimens:(a)for the purpose of bringing the material into equilibriumwith normal or average room conditions of 23 C and 50%relativehumidity;(b)simply to obtain reproducible results,irrespective ofprevious history of exposure;or(c)to subject the material
12、to abnormalconditions of temperature or humidity in order to predict its servicebehavior.The conditions given here to obtain reproducible results will givephysical values which could be somewhat higher or somewhat lower thanvalues under equilibrium at normal conditions,depending upon theparticular m
