ASTM A717 Standard Test Method for Surface Insulation Resistance of Single-Strip Specimens

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM A717 standard. This test method covers a means of testing the surface insulation resistance of single strips or staples of flat rolled electrical steel under predetermined conditions of voltage, pressure and temperature.

This test method is particularly suitable for quality control in the application of insulation coatings. The surface insulation resistance is evaluated from a dc current that can range from 0 (excellent insulator) to 1 A (perfect conductor).

Due to the nature of the tester and sample, successive measurements of a sample often yield different values, so single readings should not be considered significant.

Values ​​stated in SI units or inch-pound units will be considered standard separately. The values ​​specified in each system may not be exactly equivalent; therefore, each system should be used independently of the other. Combining values ​​from the two systems may result in non-compliance with the standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
