ASTM D 1000:2024

1.1 These test methods cover procedures for testing pressure-sensitive adhesive-coated tapes to be used as electrical insulation. These tapes are classified as follows: 1.1.1 Class 1- Non-elastomeric backings made from materials such as: Paper, flat or creped, Fabric, uncoated or coated, Cellulose ester films, Polyethylene terephthalate (polyester) films, Fluorocarbon polymer films, Composite filament films, Polyamide films, Polyimide films, and Combinations thereof. 1.1.2 Class 2- Elastomeric backings that are characterized by both high stretch and substantial recovery. These backings are made from materials such as: Vinyl chloride and co-polymers, Vinylidene chloride and co-polymers, and Polyethylene and co-polymers. 1.2 Test laminates of Class 1 and Class 2 backings according to Class 1 test methods. 1.3 The procedures appear in the sections indicated below and in alphabetical order: Adhesion Strength to Steel and Backing at Room Temperature 46 - 53 Adhesion Strength to Steel and Backing at Low Temperatures 46 - 53 Bond Strength After Solvent Immersion 110 - 115 Breaking Strength and Elongation at Room Temperature 37 - 45 Breaking Strength and Elongation at Low Temperatures 37 - 45 Conditioning 6 - 8 Curling and Twisting 140 - 146 Dielectric Breakdown Voltage 83 - 90 Effect of Accelerated Aging on High-Temperature Tapes 97 - 103 Flagging 66 - 76 Flammability 104 - 109 Hazards/Precautions 3 Insulation Resistance at High Humidity 91 - 96 Length of Tape in a Roll 28 - 36 Oil Resistance 116 - 122 Puncture Resistance 123 - 128 Resistance to Accelerated Aging (Heat and Moisture) 129 - 139 Sampling 4 Specimen Preparation 5 Thermosetting Properties 77 - 82 Thickness 21 - ...
