Keywords11.1 copper electrical conductor; copper wire; electrical conductor; electrical conductorcopper; hard-drawn copper wire.EXPLANATORY NOTESNOTE 1Other tests than those provided in this specification have been considered at various times, such as t

43、wist tests, wrap tests, tests for elastic limit,etc. It is the opinion of the committee that twist and wrap tests on hard-drawn wire do not serve a useful purpose and should be regarded as undesirable,as well as inconclusive as to results and significance. Tests for values of elastic limit are likew

44、ise indefinite as to results. Tests to determine elasticproperties of hard-drawn wire from which wire stringing and sagging data may be compiled are considered to be outside the scope of the acceptance testscontemplated in this specification.NOTE 2The tensile strength values given in Table 1 cannot

45、always be met if the wire is drawn into coils of less than 19 in. (48 mm) inside diameteror if the wire has been rewound. Lower tensile strength values, therefore, are permissible for smaller-diameter coils, or rewound wire, through mutualagreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser at the t

46、ime the order is placed.NOTE 3Mechanical joints made during inspection at the request of the purchaser are permissible if agreed upon at the time of placing the order.NOTE 4The values of the wire diameters in Table 1 which correspond to gage numbers of the American Wire Gage (see Specification B258)

47、 are givento the nearest 0.0001 in. (0.002(0.0025 mm). The diameters preceded by asterisks are not in the American Wire Gage series. They correspond to certainof the numbers of the Birmingham Wire Gage or of the British Standard Wire Gage and are used for communication lines. The use of gage numbers

48、 tospecify wire sizes is not recognized in this specification, because of the possibility of confusion. An excellent discussion of wire gages and related subjectsis contained in NBS Handbook 100.3NOTE 5It is known that the rate of loading during tension testing of copper affects the performance of t

49、he sample to a greater or lesser extent, dependingupon many factors. In general, tested values of tensile strength are increased and tested values of elongation are reduced with increase of speed of themoving head of the testing machine. These effects are pronounced when the speed of the moving head is excessive in the testing of hard-drawn wires.It is suggested that tests be made at speeds of moving head which, under no-load conditions, are not greater than 3 in. (75 mm)/min, but in no case ata speed greater than that at which correct readings can be
