This summary provides a comprehensive overview of the products, testing protocols, and certifications necessary to ensure optimal performance and reliability in electrical applications.

Insulating Liquids Testing and Research Services

Contract Laboratory can help you with all your Insulating Liquids testing, analysis, scientific research and development, inspection, certification, engineering, failure investigation, and product development needs including:

Dielectric Breakdown Voltage Test: Measures the maximum voltage that the liquid can withstand before breakdown
Dissipation Factor Test: Assesses the electrical losses within the insulating liquid
Specific Resistance (Resistivity) Test: Evaluates the electrical resistivity of the liquid
indicating how well it can resist electrical flow
Flash Point Testing: Determines the temperature at which the liquid emits vapors that could ignite in air
Acid Number Test: Measures the acidity of the oil
indicating the level of oxidation or contamination

Type of Insulating Liquids Products

Contract Laboratory can assist your company, academic institution, government agency or organization in outsourcing contract laboratories to perform testing, analysis, and product development for many Insulating Liquids finished products, processes, systems, in-process materials, raw materials and components such as:

Transformer Oils: Mineral oil-based fluids primarily used in transformers for cooling and insulation
Silicone Liquids: Known for their fire resistance and electrical insulating properties
used in high-temperature environments
Synthetic Ester Liquids: Biodegradable alternatives to mineral oils with excellent insulating and cooling capabilities
Natural Ester Liquids: Derived from vegetable oils
these liquids are environmentally friendly and have good insulating properties
Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) Fluids: Special fluids designed to insulate and extinguish arcs in switchgear

Insulating Liquids Test Methods and Standards

Contract Laboratory can help with testing, analysis, assays, evaluations, examinations, inspections and certifications to different Insulating Liquids test methods, standards, procedures or specifications.

IEC 63021 - Insulating liquids - Determination of acidity - Part 2: Colourimetric titration
ASTM D3426 - Standard Test Method for Dielectric Breakdown Voltage and Dielectric Strength of Solid Electrical Insulating Materials Using Impulse Waves
