ASTM Electrical Insulating Liquids and Gases Standards

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This reduces the risk of outdated practices, improves quality assurance, and supports a culture of reliability and continuous improvement.
