ASTM D470-13是关于《电线和电缆用交联绝缘材料与套管的标准试验方法 》现行版本标准修订于2013年，替代原ASTM D470-99版本使用。

1. Scope

1.1 These test methods cover procedures for testing crosslinked insulations and jackets for wire and cable. To determine the test to be made on the particular insulation or jacket, refer to the product specification for that type. These test methods do not apply to the class of products known as flexible cords.

1.2 In many instances the insulation or jacket cannot be tested unless it has been formed around a conductor or cable. Therefore, tests are done on insulated or jacketed wire or cable in these test methods solely to determine the relevant property of the insulation or jacket and not to test the conductor or completed cable.

1.3 The procedures appear in the following sections:

Sections

AC and DC Voltage Withstand Tests22 to 29

Capacitance and Dissipation Factor Tests38 to 44

Cold Bend128

Cold Bend, Long-Time Voltage Test on Short Specimens51 to 57

Partial-Discharge Test58 to 64

Physical Tests of Insulation and Jacket Compounds 5 to 16

Surface Resistivity Test116 to 120

Track Resistance Test129 to 132

U-Bend Discharge Test121 to 125

Water Absorption Test65 to 71

Water Absorption Test, Accelerated72 to 86

Water Absorption Test on Fibrous Coverings 105 to 110

1.4 Whenever two sets of values are presented, in different units, the values in the first set are the standard, while those in the parentheses are for information only.

1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazards see Section 4.
