ASTM D2225 Test Methods for Silicone Fluids Used for Electrical Insulation
COMPATIBILITY TESTING
20. Compatibility
20.1 Significance - It is very important to know how other construction materials will affect silicone liquid or the converse.
20.1.1 Incompatibility of the silicone fluid with the materials of construction can affect the usable life and operation of major apparatus and equipment, such as transformers and capacitors.
20.1.2 Compatibility tests are usually made at high temperatures, and for specific time periods. They may consist of physical methods, chemical methods, electrical methods, or all types, depending upon the particular application.
20.2 Procedure - Determine compatibility of silicone fluids with materials of construction in accordance with Test Methods D5282.
