BS PD IEC/TS 62073:2016中描述的方法可用于测量 架空线路复合绝缘子棚和外壳材料的疏水性， 覆盖或未覆盖涂层的变电站和设备或陶瓷绝缘子。这个 获得的值代表测量时的疏水性。本技术规范的目的是描述可用于 测定绝缘体的疏水性。测定水湿润土壤的能力 绝缘子表面可能有助于评估绝缘子表面的状况 服务，或作为实验室绝缘体测试的一部分。购买本文件时可获得的所有当前修订均包含在购买本文件中。

The methods described in BS PD IEC/TS 62073:2016 can be used for the measurement of the hydrophobicity of the shed and housing material of composite insulators for overhead lines, substations and equipment or ceramic insulators covered or not covered by a coating. The obtained value represents the hydrophobicity at the time of the measurement.The object of this technical specification is to describe three methods that can be used to determine the hydrophobicity of insulators. The determination of the ability of water to wet the surface of insulators may be useful to evaluate the condition of the surface of insulators in service, or as part of the insulator testing in the laboratory.All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
