Water Tree Growth Resistance Tester as per ASTM D6097

Designed to carry out standard test method for Relative Resistance to vented Water–Tree Grown in Solid Dielectric Insulating Materials as per ASTM D6097-01a.

Water Tree Growth Resistance Tester as per ASTM D6097

The SCR ELEKTRONIKS Water Tree Growth Resistance Tester is an advanced laboratory testing system designed to evaluate the resistance of solid dielectric insulating materials to water tree formation under accelerated aging conditions. Developed in accordance with ASTM D6097, the equipment simulates the growth of vented water trees initiated by a sharp protrusion at the interface between conductive and insulating materials in a wet environment subjected to high electrical stress.

The system consists of a high-voltage power source, a Siemens PLC-based control system, and a temperature-controlled water bath, which together provide precise control and monitoring of test parameters.

As per ASTM D 6097 – 01a, Ten compression-molded disk specimens, each containing a conical-shaped defect, are subjected to an applied voltage of 5 kV at 1 kHz and 23 ± 2°C in an aqueous conductive solution of 1.0 N NaCl for 30 days. This controlled conical defect is created by a sharp needle with an included angle of 60° and a tip radius of 3 µm.

The water-tree length and point-to-plane specimen thickness measured under microscope are used to calculate a ratio that is defined as the resistance to water-tree growth
