38、p, Finish, and Appearance13.1 The wire shall be free of all imperfections not consistent with good commercial practice.14. Sampling, Testing, and Conformance Criteria14.1 SamplingFour test specimens shall be obtained, one from each of four production units or in accordance withSpecification B830 (se
39、e Explanatory Note 2).14.2 Tensile strength, elongation, and resistivity:14.2.1 Test Methods:14.2.1.1 Tensile strength and elongation may be determined simultaneously. Obtain the tensile strength, using Test MethodsB557, by dividing the maximum load resisted by the tensile specimen, with the tensile
40、 stress to be expressed in kips (1000 lbf)per square inch (ksi). Elongation is the percent increase in length of the tensile specimen as measured between gage marksoriginally spaced 10 in. 254 mm apart on the specimen. Elongation measurements are not required for wire less than 0.0500 in.in diameter
41、. Should any part of the fracture take place outside the elongation gage lines, or if examination of the tensile specimenindicates a flaw, the values obtained may not be representative and a test on another section of the specimen may be run.14.2.1.2 Determine the electrical resistivity using Test M
42、ethod B193.14.2.2 Test ResultsA numerical average for the tensile strength, elongation, and resistivity of the four specimens shall becalculated and shall be considered the lot average.14.2.3 Conformance CriteriaTo be considered in conformance, the lot average test results shall meet the “average fo
43、r a lot”requirements of Tables 1 and 2, and the test results of each specimen shall meet the “individual tests” requirements of Tables 2and 4 unless otherwise specified.14.2.3.1 If the lot average results are in conformance, and all of the individual specimen results are in conformance, the lot shal
44、lbe considered in conformance.14.2.3.2 If the lot average result for one or more of the tested properties is not in conformance and one or more of the individualspecimen results is also not in conformance, the lot shall be considered not in conformance.14.2.3.3 If the lot average results are in conf
45、ormance, but one or more of the individual specimen results are not in conformance,the lot shall be considered in conformance except that the production unit or units represented by the nonconforming specimenor specimens shall be rejected.14.2.3.4 If the lot average results for one or more of the te
46、sted properties are not in conformance, but all the individual specimenresults are in conformance, then additional test specimens and tests shall be required as follows:(1) An additional six test specimens shall be obtained, one each from six production units other than the four originallysampled. T
47、est shall be run on the six additional specimens, and a numerical average of the ten tested specimens shall be calculatedand considered the lot average.(2) If the ten specimen lot average results are in conformance, and all ten of the individual specimen results are in conformance,the lot shall be c
48、onsidered in conformance.(3) If the ten specimen lot average results for one or more of the tested properties are not in conformance, or if one or moreof the ten individual specimen results are not in conformance, the lot shall be considered not in conformance.(4) In the event a lot is rejected in a
49、ccordance with 14.2.3.2 or (3), production units making up that lot may be individuallytested. Acceptance of individual production units from a rejected lot shall be dependent on the individual specimen test resultsmeeting the “average for a lot” requirements of Tables 2 and 4.14.3 Bending (brittleness)Specimens from any production unit may be tested, with the frequency of sampling and testing tobe agreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser.15.
