BS EN 61212-2:1996 is a British Standard that has been adopted as a European Norm (EN). It is titled "Insulating materials - Industrial rigid round laminated tubes and rods based on thermosetting resins for electrical purposes - Part 2: Methods of test." This standard specifies the test methods to be used for evaluating the electrical and mechanical properties of industrial rigid round laminated tubes and rods made from thermosetting resins, which are used for electrical purposes.
The standard provides guidelines for conducting various tests on these insulating materials to determine their suitability and performance. Some of the tests covered by BS EN 61212-2:1996 include:
Tests for electrical properties: This includes tests for volume resistivity, surface resistivity, dielectric strength, and electrical endurance.
Tests for mechanical properties: The standard covers tests such as flexural strength, compressive strength, impact strength, and density.
Tests for thermal properties: It includes tests for thermal stability, thermal endurance, and coefficient of linear expansion.
Tests for dimensional properties: This involves measurements of diameter, length, straightness, and concentricity.
Tests for moisture absorption: The standard provides methods to assess the moisture absorption characteristics of the materials.
Tests for chemical resistance: It covers the evaluation of the material's resistance to various chemicals and solvents.
BS EN 61212-2:1996 is intended for use by manufacturers, testing laboratories, and other organizations involved in the production or testing of industrial rigid round laminated tubes and rods. It helps ensure that the materials meet the necessary performance requirements and can be safely used in electrical applications.
Please note that standards can be subject to updates and revisions over time. It's always recommended to check for the latest version or any amendments to ensure compliance with the most up-to-date specifications.
