BDV testing, or breakdown voltage testing, is conducted using specialized equipment designed to measure the electrical insulating strength of industrial oils. The process typically involves immersing electrodes in a sample of the oil and gradually increasing the voltage until a breakdown occurs, indicating the maximum voltage the oil can withstand before failing as an insulator. This procedure is critical for assessing the quality and suitability of oils in various applications. It is essential to follow the bdv test standard to ensure accurate and reliable results, enabling operators to maintain the integrity of their lubrication systems and prevent equipment failures.
