Описание (английский):

Describes the test method for determination of hydrolytic stability of moulded thermosets made of room temperature or oven-curing reaction resins when subjected to simultaneous influence of water and high temperature. With this test method, irreversible change of mechanical and electrical properties is measured, but no mechanical stress is imposed on the test specimens.

Overview

IEC 61234-2:1997 – "Electrical insulating materials – Methods of test for the hydrolytic stability – Part 2: Moulded thermosets" – is an international standard developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). This standard specifies the test method for determining the hydrolytic stability of moulded thermosetting insulating materials manufactured from room temperature or oven-curing reaction resins. The aim is to evaluate the irreversible changes in mechanical and electrical properties of these materials when exposed simultaneously to water and elevated temperatures, without subjecting the test specimens to mechanical stress.

Hydrolytic stability is a critical aspect for electrical insulating materials, especially for those used in harsh environments where exposure to moisture and high temperature is common. Consistency in test methods ensures reliable evaluation across industries and regions.

Key Topics

Purpose: To determine how moulded thermosets withstand combined water and heat exposure, by assessing changes in key material properties.

Properties Measured:

Electrical: Dielectric dissipation factor (tan δ) and permittivity (ε), according to IEC 60455-2 and IEC 60250.
Mechanical: Tensile strength, in accordance with ISO 527-2.

Conditioning and Test Practices: Procedures for preparing and conditioning test specimens are outlined to ensure reproducibility, including preconditioning, curing, immersion, and post-immersion treatment.

Immersion Test: Specimens are immersed in demineralized water at controlled temperatures, measured per IEC 60584-1 and IEC 60584-2, for specified durations.

Result Reporting: Analysis of percent retention of electrical and mechanical properties relative to untreated specimens, standardized test reporting, and recommended durations of 48 h and 168 h (with options up to 1,000 h).

Applications

The IEC 61234-2 method is essential for:

Quality assurance and specification: Manufacturers of electrical insulating products use this standard to verify the long-term stability of moulded thermosets before market release.

Material comparison and selection: Engineers and designers apply the test results to choose appropriate insulating materials for devices and systems exposed to moisture and elevated temperatures.

Research and development: Materials scientists employ this method to develop new or improved thermosetting resins with enhanced hydrolytic stability.

Certification and regulatory compliance: The standard facilitates alignment with global industry requirements, supporting certification and entry into regulated markets.

Typical industries and product areas include:

Electrical and electronic equipment housings

Transformer insulation parts

Switchgear insulation

Automotive and transport components with electrical insulation requirements

Industrial control systems and circuit isolation

Related Standards

For comprehensive testing and evaluation, IEC 61234-2:1997 is used in conjunction with several other international standards, including:

IEC 60212: Standard conditions for testing solid electrical insulating materials

IEC 60250: Methods for determining permittivity and dielectric dissipation factor

IEC 60455-2: Test methods for solventless polymerisable resinous compounds
