// traceability
Every form, traceable to the standard it came from.
UltraDb’s test forms are built from the published standards your work is judged against - ASTM D1816, D877, D974, D923 and D3487; ANSI/NETA ATS-2025, MTS-2023 and ECS-2024; and IEEE C57.104 and C57.106 / C57.147 (consolidating into IEEE C57.166) - with the section citation printed on the form and the acceptance values checked against the edition cited on the form.
// insulating-liquid suite
The full transformer-oil screen - graded for you.
Every test in the ASTM D117 insulating-liquid battery, with each reading auto-evaluated against the limit for that oil type and voltage class - so pass, monitor, or investigate is decided the moment the number is entered.
Every screen test, one platform
Dielectric breakdown (D1816 / D877), acid & neutralization number (D974 / D664), water (D1533), interfacial tension (D971), color (D1500), power factor (D924), visual (D1524), and dissolved-gas analysis (D3612).
Limits that know your oil
New oil is graded to ASTM D3487; in-service oil to the ANSI/NETA MTS-2023 tables (IEEE C57.106 / C57.147, consolidating into IEEE C57.166) - by voltage class, and for mineral or natural-ester fluid. No mental table lookups in the field.
DGA that interprets itself
Dissolved-gas results are scored to IEEE C57.104-2019 Status 1 / 2 / 3 from the published gas norms - factoring the O2/N2 ratio and transformer age - not left as raw ppm for someone to puzzle over later.
One report or one test
Run a single combined Oil Quality Screen, or a dedicated form per method - either way the overall verdict rolls up from the worst result.
A test report is only as good as the standard behind it. UltraDb forms carry their provenance on their face:
Citation on every form
Open a transformer, cable, breaker, or battery form and see exactly which section governs it - a precise spec citation, not a bare label and a blank field.
Cited-edition values, tracked
Tolerances and pass/fail limits are checked against the edition cited on the form, and we track every revision of the standards behind it - so a sealed report names the edition it was judged against, not a decade-old form nobody updated.
Expected value at entry
The field tech sees the limit beside the reading. Pass or fail is obvious in the field, not a surprise at review.
Inspection checklists built in
Each form opens with the visual and mechanical inspection the standard prescribes, captured as satisfactory / unsatisfactory / not-applicable - flowing straight into the report’s deficiency record.
// how we keep it honest
Validated, not inherited.
Spec-traceable
Forms reference ASTM and ANSI/NETA standards by section. Your records cite their source.
Validated
Acceptance values are checked against the current published edition, not copied from legacy tooling.
Field-first
Expected values and inspection checklists in the tech’s hand, on a phone, online or off.
UltraDb references ASTM, ANSI, IEEE, and NETA standards descriptively, to identify the published methods its forms are built from.

Standard names and section numbers are the property of their respective organizations. Always test to the edition your contract specifies.
