D1711-24 – Standard Test Method Technical Guide
📐 Overview of D1711-24 Terminology
ASTM D1711-24 is a standard terminology that compiles technical terms used in testing and specifying solid electrical and electronic insulating materials. It serves as a central reference for definitions balloted through Subcommittee D09.94 and the D09 main committee, ensuring consistency across standards related to electrical insulation.
The standard includes terms from various specializations such as electrical insulating papers, mica, mica processing, hookup wire insulation, and partial discharge (corona). It is designed to be a comprehensive resource for engineers and technicians working with insulating materials.
⚙️ Definition Management and Coordination
Definitions in D1711-24 originate from specific standards under Committee D09 and must be identical to those in the originating standards, with exceptions for discussion parts, figure references, and the addition of term usage references. Subcommittee D09.94 provides editorial advice to ensure consistency.
| 📋 Aspect | 📝 Description |
|---|---|
| Term Origin | Definitions from specific standards under Committee D09 |
| Exceptions | Deletion of discussions specific to other standards, figure numbers, etc. |
| Inclusion | Terms from non-specific or revised standards can be included after balloting |
Revisions and additions are collaborative efforts between Subcommittee D09.94 and technical subcommittees, with each definition carrying the year of first incorporation.
📊 Key Term Categories and References
This terminology standard references other standards for specific material types. For example, terms related to plastics are defined in Terminology D883, and terms relating to fire are covered elsewhere. In case of conflict, definitions in D1711-24 prevail.
| 🟦 Referenced Standard | 🎯 Subject Area |
|---|---|
| Terminology D883 | Plastics |
| Related Fire Standards | Fire behavior and testing |
The standard ensures that all definitions are of general interest and importance to electrical and electronic insulating materials, covering both general applications and specialized areas.
💡 When using D1711-24, always check the year of definition inclusion to ensure you are using the most current terminology, as definitions may be updated over time.
⚠️ Note that definitions from other standards included in D1711-24 may have omitted discussions that reference specific test methods. Refer to the original standard for complete context.
