Standard Specification for Nonmetallic Semi-Conducting and Electrically Insulating Rubber Tapes
Also Known As:
The ASTM D4388-20 standard is a specification that outlines the requirements for nonmetallic semi-conducting and electrically insulating rubber tapes. These tapes are specifically designed for use in splicing and repairing electrical wire and cables that operate at specified phase to phase voltages.
The standard classifies the tapes into five types (Types I, II, III, IV, and V) and sets forth various physical property requirements that the tapes must meet. These include tensile strength, elongation at break, dielectric strength, dissipation factor, permittivity, volume resistivity, behavior during fusion test, ozone resistance, heat exposure, and UV resistance.
The standard also provides information regarding the voltage range that these tapes are suitable for, with a maximum voltage of 325 kV, phase to phase. Additionally, it states that the SI values are the standard, but inch-pound units are given in parentheses for informational purposes.
