IEC EN 60672-1 Test for Ceramic and Glass Insulation Materials

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60672-1 testing. IEC EN 60672-1 is a standard for ceramic and glass insulation materials. Specifically, it provides definitions and a classification system for these materials.

The standard covers a wide range of insulation materials, including:

• Ceramic materials such as alumina, steatite and porcelain;
• Glass materials such as borosilicate and aluminosilicate glasses;
• Glass-ceramic materials, which are materials that have partially crystallized from the glassy state.

The standard provides a classification system based on their composition and properties, as well as definitions of key terms and concepts related to ceramic and glass insulating materials.

This classification system includes categories such as:

• Inorganic insulation materials, which are materials consisting primarily of inorganic compounds;
• Organic insulation materials, which are materials composed primarily of organic compounds;
• Mineral insulated cables, which are cables consisting of a metallic sheath filled with dust insulating material.

The standard also provides guidance on how to sample and test ceramic and glass insulating materials. This includes information on test methods to determine properties such as dielectric strength, thermal conductivity, and coefficient of thermal expansion.

Overall, IEC EN 60672-1 is an important standard for those working with ceramic and glass insulating materials, helping to ensure consistency and accuracy in their use and evaluation.
