Scope

GB/T 46149-2025 is the English-translated version of 无损检测 绝缘材料太赫兹检测方法.

GB/T 46149-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering seeing inside an insulator with terahertz waves — the frequency band that passes through polymers and ceramics where ultrasound needs a couplant and X-rays see nothing, the time-domain and imaging modes, the defects resolved, and the calibration. First edition, already in force. Issued on 29 August 2025, it has been in force since 29 August 2025.

Terahertz testing method for non-destructive testing of insulating materials

1 Scope

This document describes a method for testing insulating materials used in electrical equipment using terahertz testing technology.

This document applies to the defects and moisture content of solid insulating materials with a thickness of 0.03mm~10mm and liquid insulating materials Terahertz detection of moisture content. For solid insulating materials of other thicknesses, refer to the same procedure.

This document does not apply to cellulose-based solid insulation materials with a thickness exceeding 5 mm.
