GB/T 16581-1996 uses the oxygen index method to determine the combustion performance of insulating liquids. It clarifies the principle of oxygen index measurement, specifies the specifications and requirements of required instruments and equipment, such as combustion cylinders, gas sources, etc., and standardizes sample preparation and testing procedures, including adjusting the ratio of oxygen to nitrogen, igniting the sample and observing combustion phenomena. The standard provides a unified test method for insulating liquid manufacturers and testing institutions. By measuring the oxygen index, it can accurately evaluate the difficulty of insulating liquid combustion, help ensure fire safety in the use of electrical equipment, and promote the mass improvement of products in the insulating liquid industry.
