7、have a nominal thickness of 0.004 in.(0.10 mm)and a warp by filler thread count per inch(or centimetre)of32(12.6)by 28(11.0)respectively.The varnish shall be of theoleoresinous type.The warp threads shall consist of 140 deniercontinuous filament yarns having a twist of 5 turns per inch,and the fille
8、r threads shall consist of ECG-150-1/0 yarns.5.2 SplicesThe material shall not be spliced unless agreedupon by the purchaser and the manufacturer.If it is necessaryto splice,splices shall not occur more than once in each roll of100 yd(92 m)or less,except that rolls having a length of 6 yd(5.5 m)or l
9、ess shall contain no splices.All splices shall beflagged in a manner suitable to the purchaser.5.3 NonconformitiesThe varnished fabric and tape shallbe free from wrinkles,blisters,or any imperfections which willdetract from its value as electrical insulation.6.Electrical and Mechanical Requirements6
10、.1 The electrical and mechanical requirements shall be inaccordance with the values shown in Table 1.7.Oil Resistance7.1 The varnish film shall show no evidence of blistering,ordisintegration in the oil or on the blotter used in the test.Theoil used in the test shall not become turbid.NOTE1Slight sw
11、elling of the film in that portion of the materiallocated between the yarns sometimes occurs,particularly with freshlycoated goods.This is evidenced by a regularity in the spacing of the“blisters”and can be differentiated from true blistering,which occursrandomly spaced over the surface of the test
