This test method determines the resistance of encapsulating compounds to fluids or greases by measuring changes in weight and volume under defined conditions of time and temperature.

Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D09 on Electrical and Electronic Insulating Materials, this test method was withdrawn in November 2013. This standard is being withdrawn without replacement due to its limited use by industry.

5.1 Fluids and greases in contact with encapsulating compounds have the potential to adversely modify the encapsulant properties with resulting damage or loss of protection to components in electronic applications.

5.2 This test method provides a means for measuring the effect of fluids and greases on various encapsulants.

5.3 This test method is intended for use in research and evaluation.

1.1 This test method determines the resistance of encapsulating compounds to fluids or greases by measuring changes in weight (Note 1) and volume under defined conditions of time and temperature.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are standard. The values in parentheses are for information only.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, 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. See 9.1.
