Electrical Insulating Liquids & Gases - ASTM Latin America

International Electrical Insulating Standards

ASTM insulating liquids and gases standards are central to the reliability, safety, and sustainability of electrical power systems.

These standards enable utilities, manufacturers, and testing laboratories to evaluate and control the materials that insulate, cool, and protect transformers, switchgear, and other high-voltage equipment.

By defining precise methods for measuring thermal, electrical, chemical, and physical properties, ASTM standards ensure consistent performance across the entire energy infrastructure.

From dissolved gas analysis to dielectric breakdown testing, ASTM provides a unified framework that allows operators to detect emerging faults, reduce fire risks, extend asset life, and meet global compliance requirements.

For engineers and asset managers, adherence to ASTM insulating liquids and gases standards is more than compliance—it is essential risk management.

Digital Access to Insulating Standards

Access to these critical standards is streamlined through ASTM Compass®, a digital platform that delivers 24/7 access to the full portfolio of insulating liquids and gases standards.

Compass integrates workflow tools for collaboration, version control, and easy sharing across engineering, laboratory, and procurement teams.

With Compass, organizations ensure that every stakeholder—from manufacturers to field technicians—is working from the most current, authoritative version of each standard.

This reduces the risk of outdated practices, improves quality assurance, and supports a culture of reliability and continuous improvement.

Spanish Electrical Insulating Liquids and Gases Standards Collection

This ASTM collection contains standards pertaining to electrical insulating liquids and gases, whether of synthetic or natural origin, and the recommendation of standards pertinent to these materials.

The principal materials included in this scope are oils of petroleum origin, synthetic liquids, halogenated and other gases, when used, singularly or as combinations, as electrical insulation or as an environment for electrical insulation. Standards peculiar to solid insulating materials and varnishes and the development of standards pertaining to the nonelectrical uses of liquid and gaseous materials are excluded from the scope of this collection.
