32、ANATORY NOTESNOTE 1In this specification only compact round concentric-lay-stranded conductor constructions are specifically designated. Construc-tions not included in this specification should be specifically agreed uponbetween the manufacturer and the purchaser when placing the order.NOTE 2For def
33、initions of terms relating to conductors, referenceshould be made to Terminology B354.NOTE 3The increment of mass or electrical resistance of a completedconcentric-lay-stranded conductor, k, in percent, is:k 5 100 m 2 1!where m is the stranding factor, and is the ratio of the mass or electricalresis
34、tance of a unit length of stranded conductor to that of a solidconductor of the same cross-sectional area or of a stranded conductor withinfinite length of lay, that is, all wires parallel to the conductor axis. Thestranding factor m for the completed stranded conductor is the numericalaverage of th
35、e stranding factors for each of the individual wires in theconductor, including the straight core wire, if any (for which the strandingfactor is unity). The stranding factor, mind, for any given wire in aconcentric-lay-stranded conductor is:mind5 = 1 1 9.8696/n2!where n = (length of lay)/diameter of
36、 helical path of the wire.The derivation of the above as given in NBS Handbook 1003is based onround wire constructions which are applicable to compacted wire con-structions.NOTE 4Individual wires are not to be unlaid from compact roundconductors for testing purposes. The physical properties of the i
37、ndividualcompacted wires will be altered by the deformation brought about bycompacting, unlaying, and straightening for test.NOTE 5To test stranded conductors for tensile strength successfullyas a unit requires adequate means of gripping the ends of the test specimenwithout causing damage that may r
38、esult in failure below the actualstrength of the conductor. Various means are available, such as compres-sion sleeves, split sleeves, and preformed grips, but ordinary jaws orclamping devices usually are not suitable.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights a
