For Dielectric Strength we have terms and definitions in 7 topics. The topics are Adhesives and Sealants, Car Care, Electric Power, Import Cars, Natural Gas, Plastics and Wire.

Dielectric Strength (Adhesives and Sealants)

The maximum voltage a material can withstand without failure. Measured in volts per millimeter of thickness (of the material).

Dielectric Strength (Car Care)

A measure of the ability of an insulating material to withstand electric stress (voltage) without failure. Fluids with high dielectric strength (usually expressed in volts or kilovolts) are good electrical insulators. (ASTM Designation D 877.)

Dielectric Strength (Electric Power)

The maximum voltage that a dielectric material can withstand, under specified conditions, without rupturing. It is usually expressed as volts/unit thickness. Also called Disruptive Gradient or Electric Strength.

Dielectric Strength (Import Cars)

The ability of an insulator to insulate; to resist carrying current without damage. 2. The resistance to electron penetration.

Dielectric Strength (Natural Gas)

The voltage that will rupture or puncture the material when placed between electrodes of a given size.

Dielectric Strength (Plastics)

The voltage that an insulating material can withstand before dielectric breakdown occurs.

Dielectric Strength (Wire)

The voltage which an insulating material can withstand before breakdown occurs, usually expressed as a voltage gradient (such as volts per mil).
