Sampling for Insulating Liquids (TS EN 60475)

The EN 60475 standard, a European standard, provides a method for sampling insulating fluids. This standard was later reissued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). This standard applies to the procedure to be used to isolate liquids in distribution containers and electrical equipment such as power and instrument transformers, reactors, bushings, greasy cables, oil filled tank capacitors, switchgear and load plugs. The following changes have been made in the last update:

• Withdrawal of the Askarels
• Addition of general health, safety and environmental protection recommendations
• Additional details on oil sampling from electrical equipment using a variety of sampling devices suitable for different types of oil testing to be performed in the laboratory.

The aforementioned standard has also been published in our country by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) with the following title: TS EN 60475: 2011 (EN) Sampling method of insulating fluids.

The isolation oils subject to this standard should be used with personal hygiene in mind. Direct contact with eyes may cause irritation. Also, some of the tests described in this standard involve the use of processes that could lead to a hazardous situation. This standard applies to mineral oils and non-mineral oils, chemicals and used sample containers.

In our organization, testing, analysis, measurement, and evaluation studies comply with national and international standards and current legal regulations, ensuring reliable and impartial results. These studies are based on state-of-the-art equipment, a trained and experienced staff, and modern methods. Among the numerous tests conducted within this scope are sampling services for insulation fluids (TS EN 60475).
