ASTM D150 Standard Test Method for AC Loss Characteristics and Permeability (Dielectric Constant) of Solid Electrical Insulation

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D150 testing. These test methods cover the determination of the relative permittivity, dissipation factor, loss index, power factor, phase angle, and loss angle of samples of solid electrical insulating materials when the standards used are bulk impedances.

The frequency range that can be covered extends from less than 1 Hz to several hundred megahertz. Because some materials require special handling, the reader may also wish to refer to other ASTM standards or documents that are directly applicable to the material to be tested.

In the ASTM D150 test method, a sample is held between two metallic plates of the meter and the capacitance is measured. This activity is repeated without placing the sample between the two electrodes. The ratio of these two values ​​is calculated as the dielectric constant.

Therefore, the ASTM D150 test standard lays down standard test methods for the determination of the AC loss characteristics and permeability of solid electrical insulation.

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 and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
