8.2 Design tests

8.2.1 Low-frequency dry flashover test
Three insulators shall be selected at random and tested in accordance with 4.2of ANSI C29.1.Failure of
the average dry flashover value of the three insulators to equal or exceed 95% of the rated dry flashover
value, as given in table 1, shall constitute failure to meet the requirements of this standard.
8.2.2 Low-frequencywet flashover test

Three insulators shall be selected at random and tested in accordance with 4.3 of ANSI C29.1.Failure of
the average wet flashover value of the three insulators to equal or exceed 90% of the rated wet flashover
value, as given in table 1, shall constitute failure to meet the requirements of this standard.
8.2.3 Critical impulse flashover tests-positive

Three insulators shall be selected at random for the critical impulse flashover test, positive, and tested in
accordance with 4.7 of ANSI C29.1.Failure of the average critical impulse flashover value of the three
insulators to equal or exceed 92% of the rated critical impulse flashover value, as given in table 1, shall
constitute failure to meet the requirements of this standard.
8.2.4 Radio-influence voltage test

Three insulators shall be selected at random and tested in accordance with 4.9 of ANSI C29.1.If one or
more insulators fail to meet the requirements given in table 1, three additional insulators shall be selected
at random and tested. Failure of one or more of these additional insulators shall constitute failure to meet
the requirements of this standard.

8.2.5 Thermal shock test

Three insulators shall be selected at random and tested for ten complete cycles in accordance with 5.5 of
ANSI C29.1. The temperature of the hot water bath shall be approximately 150°F (66"C), and the
temperature of the cold water bath shall be approximately 39°F (4°C). If one or more insulators fail, three
additional insulators shall be selected at random and tested. Failure of one or more of these additional
insulators shall constitute failure to meet the requirements of this standard.
--```-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
8.3 Quality conformance tests'

8.3.1 Visual and dimensional tests
Conformity with 5.2 may be determined by visual inspection. All insulators not conforming to 5.2 fail to
meet the requirements of this standard.
Three insulators shall be selected at random from the lot and their dimensions checked against the
dimensions on the manufacturer's drawing. Failure of more than one of these insulators to conform, within
manufacturing tolerances, to the dimensions on this drawing shall constitute failure of the lot to meet the
requirements of this standard.
8.3.2 Porosity test

Specimens shall be selected from insulators destroyed in other tests and tested in accordance with 5.4 of
ANSI C29.1-1988. Penetration of the dye into the body of the dielectric shall constitute failure of the lot to
meet the requirements of this standard.
I Average of Entire I Average of Individual

Sample Specimen
Hardware (except nutslbolts) 3.4 mil 3.1 mil
Nutsholts 2.1 mil 1.7 mil
' Substantial test experience indicated that a total of 112 of 1% of the number of insulators in the lot is
sufficient to establish characteristics demonstrable by destructive tests. For additional information,
reference may be made to the ASTM Manual of Presentation of Data and Control Chart Analysis, 6th
Edition 1990 (ASTM Manual Series; MNL7), and further references stated therein. This manual also
contains additional information on methods of computation such as those given in 8.3.4.

If the average of one specimen, or if the average of the entire sample, fails to comply with the above, ten
additional pieces of the same type of hardware shall be selected at random and tested. Failure of the
retest sample to comply with the minimum thickness criteria shall constitute failure of the lot to meet the
requirements of this standard.
8.3.4 Cantilever-strength test

Three insulators shall be selected at random and tested in accordance with 5.1.3 of ANSI (229.1. Failure
--```-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
of the average strength of the three insulators to meet the strength requirement given in the applicable
figure, or failure of any one insulator to equal 85% of that strength requirement, shall constitute failure of
the lot to meet the requirements of this standard.
8.4 Routine tests

8.4.1 Routine flashover test
Each cavity core insulator shall be subjected to a flashover test in accordance with clause 7.1 of ANSI
C29.1. For this test, an electrode shall be placed on each side of, and adjacent to, the porcelain barrier. All
insulators that puncture fail to meet the requirements of this standard.
8.4.2 Routine cantilever test

Each assembled insulator shall be subjected to a cantilever proof test. The load applied shall be not less
than 40% of the rated cantilever strength. The force shall be applied at the Line end. only and shall be
repeated for each of the four quadrants. All insulators that fail do not meet the requirements of this
standard.
