Forconductors of 37 wires or more, this requirement shall apply to the wires of the outer two layers. The lay of the layers other thanthe outer two la

15、yers shall be at the option of the manufacturer, unless otherwise agreed upon.5.2 The direction of lay of the outer layer shall be left-hand, and it shall be reversed in successive layers, unidirectional, orunilay.6. Construction6.1 The construction of the compact round concentric-lay-stranded condu

16、ctors shall be as shown in Table 1.6.2 The starting round copper wires used in the fabrication of the compact round conductor shall be of such diameter as toproduce a finished conductor having a nominal cross-sectional area and diameter as prescribed in Table 1.7. Density7.1 For the purpose of calcu

17、lating linear densities, cross sections, and so forth, the density of the copper shall be taken as 8.89g/cm3 (0.32117 lb/in.3) at 20C.8. Mass and Resistance8.1 The mass per unit length and dc electrical resistance of a compact round conductor are greater than the total of thesecharacteristics of the

18、 compressed wires composing the finished conductor, depending upon the lay. The standard increment of massper unit length and electrical resistance shall be taken as 2 %. The nominal mass per unit length and dc resistance are shown inTable 1. When the dc resistance is measured at other than 20C, it

19、shall be corrected by using the multiplying factors given in Table2.8.2 In cases where the lay is definitely known, the increment may be calculated if desired (Explanatory Note 3).8.3 For conductors to be used in covered or insulated wires or cables, direct current (DC) resistance measurement may be

20、 usedinstead of the method outlined in Section 9, to determine compliance with this specification.9. Variation in Area9.1 The cross-sectional area of the compact round conductor shall be not less than 98 % of the cross-sectional area as specifiedin Column 1 of Table 1.9.2 The manufacturer shall dete

21、rmine the cross-sectional area by Test Method B263. In applying this method, the increment inmass per unit length resulting from stranding may be the applicable value specified in 9.1 or may be calculated from the measureddimensions of the sample under test. In case of question regarding area compli

22、ance, the actual mass per unit length increment dueto stranding shall be calculated.TABLE 1 Construction Requirements of Compact Round Concentric-Lay-Stranded Copper ConductorsConductor Size Number ofWiresCompact Conductor Diameter Mass,lb/1000 ftMass,kg/kmDC Resistance at 20Ccmil AWG mm2 in. mm /10

Constructions no

36、t includedin this specification should be specifically agreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser when placing the order.NOTE 2For definitions of terms relating to conductors, reference should be made to Terminology B354.NOTE 3The increment of mass or electrical resistance of a completed

37、 concentric-lay-stranded conductor, k, in percent, is:k 5100m 21!where m is the stranding factor, and is the ratio of the mass or electrical resistance of a unit length of stranded conductor to that of a solid conductorof the same cross-sectional area or of a stranded conductor with infinite length

38、of lay, that is, all wires parallel to the conductor axis. The stranding factorm for the completed stranded conductor is the numerical average of the stranding factors for each of the individual wires in the conductor, including thestraight core wire, if any (for which the stranding factor is unity)

39、. The stranding factor, mind, for any given wire in a concentric-lay-stranded conductoris:mind5=119.8696/n2!where n = (length of lay)/diameter of helical path of the wire.The derivation of the above as given in NBS Handbook 1003 is based on round wire constructions which are applicable to compacted

40、wireconstructions.NOTE 4Individual wires are not to be unlaid from compact round conductors for testing purposes. The physical properties of the individual compactedwires will be altered by the deformation brought about by compacting, unlaying, and straightening for test.NOTE 5To test stranded condu

41、ctors for tensile strength successfully as a unit requires adequate means of gripping the ends of the test specimen withoutcausing damage that may result in failure below the actual strength of the conductor. Various means are available, such as compression sleeves, splitsleeves, and preformed grips

42、, but ordinary jaws or clamping devices usually are not suitable.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.
