Insulating liquids - Determination of acidity - Part 2: Colourimetric titration

Describes a procedure for determination of the acidity of unused and used electrical mineral insulating oils. The method may be used to indicate relative changes that occur in a mineral insulating oil during use under oxidizing conditions that may or may not be shown by other properties of the resulting mineral oil. The acidity can be used in the quality control of unused mineral oil. As a variety of oxidation products present in used mineral oil contribute to acidity and these products vary widely in their corrosion properties, the test cannot be used to predict corrosiveness of a mineral oil under service conditions.

Liquides isolants - Détermination de l’acidité - Partie 2: Titrage colorimétrique

Décrit une procédure pour la détermination de l'acidité des huiles isolantes minérales électriques neuves et usagées. La méthode peut être utilisée pour indiquer des modifications relatives qui se produisent dans une huile minérale isolante pendant l'utilisation dans des conditions d'oxydation qui peuvent être ou peuvent ne pas être révélées par d'autres propriétés de l'huile minérale résultante. L'acidité peut être utilisée dans le contrôle de la qualité des huiles minérales neuves. Comme divers produits d'oxydation présents dans l'huile minérale usagée contribuent à l'acidité et comme ces produits varient largement du point de vue de leurs propriétés de corrosion, l'essai ne peut pas être utilisé pour prévoir la corrosivité d'une huile minérale dans des conditions de service.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
The standardized method given in IEC 62021-1 is a method for measurement of acidity in
used and unused mineral oil and is a potentiometric titration requiring special instrumentation
for measurement of acidity. Historically, acidity of insulating oil was measured by
colourimetric titration as described in IEC 60296, 1982 edition. With the revision of IEC 60296,
the colourimetric titration was deleted as that method used high volumes of sample and
solvent, generating undesirable volumes of waste.
However, there is still a market requirement for having colourimetric titration as many labs
use this method.
Health and safety
This International Standard does not purport to address all the safety problems associated
with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of the Standard to establish appropriate health
and safety practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
