FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Part 1 ) ( First Revision) wag adopted by the Bureau or Indian Standards on
22 April 1989, after the draft finalized by the Wood Products Sectional Committee had been
approved by the €ivil Engineering Division Council.
Resin treated compressed wood laminates, also known as compregs, are laminates made from thin
wood veneers and thermosetting phenol. or cresol formaldehyde resins. They combine within them-
selves enhanced mechanical properties with the stabilizing and moisture-proof qualities of thermosetting
resins; besides, they have good machining properties, electrical insulation, and resistance to corrosive
agents and termite attack. Compregs are manufactured in different shapes, such as, sheets, rods and
moulded shapes.
In the electrical industry, compregs are extensively used for lifting rods and guide plates in HV circuit-
breakers; cleats and supports for HV tappings in transformers; insulating stator brackets in turbo-
generators; drums and finger boards for traction control gear; stay wire insulators, insulating studs,
nuts, bolts, etc.
The grading of compregs is based upon the extent and nature of impregnation of the resin-formlng
chemicals, and also upon the compression and density as a result of pressure applied for curing and
bending whereas the different types in each of the grades Indicate the arrangement of the veneer, and
therefore the relative orientation of wood fibre in various directions.
The dimensions of cornpreg boards and rounds have not been covered exhaustively as these vary widely
depending upon end use. However, for general guidance. certain stock dimensions have been
indicated.
This standard was first published in 1966. In the present revision, the requirements of various
properties of compregs have been revised keeping in view the latest developments in the industry and
the feedback from the users.
This standard is now published in four parts, namely,
Part 1 For electrical purposes
Part 2 For chemical purposes
Part 3 For general purposes
Part 4 Sampling and tests
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with. the
final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS 2 : 19(\0 'Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised)'. The number of signi-
ficant places retained in the rounded off value shoulc be the same as that of the specified value in this
standard.
