BS EN 60426:2007

What is BS EN 60426 - Determination of electrolytic corrosion test methods about?  

BS EN 60426 is a British Standard that specifies the methods of the effect of electrolytic corrosion on insulating materials.  

BS EN 60426 is a guide on the ability of insulating materials to produce electrolytic corrosion on metals being in contact with them under the influence of electric stress, high humidity and elevated temperature. 

BS EN 60426 provides a guideline on determining electrolytic corrosion, which involves tensile strength measurement of copper wire. 

Who is BS EN 60426 - Determination of electrolytic corrosion test methods for? 

BS EN 60426 on determination of electrolytic corrosion test methods is useful for: 

• Electrical equipment manufacturers 
• Wires and cables manufacturers 
• Powergrid station 
• The oil and gas industry 
• The petrochemical industry 
• The metal processing industry 

Why should you use BS EN 60426 - Determination of electrolytic corrosion test methods?  

Insulators are used in electrical equipment to support and separate electrical conductors without allowing current through themselves.  

BS EN 60426 provides a guideline to manufacturers users on how to use general requirements for electrical insulating material to have best result.  

Using BS EN 60426 best practices guidelines can ensure the reliability, durability and safety, and protection of the user/manufacturer.
