Mass and Resistance8.1 The mass per unit length and dc electrical resistance ofa compact round conductor ar

15、e greater than the total of thesecharacteristics of the compressed wires composing the finishedconductor, depending upon the lay. The standard increment ofmass per unit length and electrical resistance shall be taken as2 %. The nominal mass per unit length and dc resistance areshown in Table 1. When

16、 the dc resistance is measured at otherthan 20C, it shall be corrected by using the multiplying factorsgiven in Table 2.8.2 In cases where the lay is definitely known, the incrementmay be calculated if desired (Explanatory Note 3).8.3 For conductors to be used in covered or insulated wiresor cables,

17、 direct current (DC) resistance measurement may beused instead of the method outlined in Section 9, to determinecompliance with this specification.9. Variation in Area9.1 The cross-sectional area of the compact round conductorshall be not less than 98 % of the cross-sectional area asspecified in Col

18、umn 1 of Table 1.9.2 The manufacturer shall determine the cross-sectionalarea by Test Method B263. In applying this method, theincrement in mass per unit length resulting from stranding maybe the applicable value specified in 9.1 or may be calculatedfrom the measured dimensions of the sample under t

19、est. In caseof question regarding area compliance, the actual mass per unitlength increment due to stranding shall be calculated.10. Variation in Diameter10.1 The average diameter of the compact-round conductorshall not vary by more than +1 % and 2 % from the diameterspecified in Table 1.11. Finish1

20、1.1 The conductor surface shall be smooth and free ofimperfections not consistent with the best commercial practice.TABLE 1 Construction Requirements of Compact Round Concentric-Lay-Stranded Copper ConductorsConductor SizeNumber ofWiresNominal Compact ConductorDiameterNominal Mass,lb/1000 ftNominal

Packaging and Package Marking15.1 Package sizes for conduc

31、tors shall be agreed upon bythe manufacturer and the purchaser in the placing of individualorders.15.2 The conductors shall be protected against damage inordinary handling and shipping.15.3 The net mass, length, size, kind of conductor, purchaseorder number, and any other marks required by the purch

The same information, to-gether with the manufacturers serial number (if any) and allshipping marks required by the purchaser, shall appear on theoutside of each package.16.

34、tor 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 definitions of terms relating to conductors, referenceshould be made to Terminology B354.NOTE

35、 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 electricalresistance of a unit length of stranded conductor to that of a solidconductor of the same cross

36、-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 the stranding factors for each of the individual wires in theconductor, including the straig

37、ht 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 = 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 1003is basedo

38、n round wire constructions which are applicable to compacted wireconstructions.NOTE 4Individual wires are not to be unlaid from compact roundconductors for testing purposes. The physical properties of the individualcompacted wires will be altered by the deformation brought about bycompacting, unlayi

39、ng, and straightening for test.NOTE 5To test stranded conductors for tensile strength successfully asa unit requires adequate means of gripping the ends of the test specimenwithout causing damage that may result in failure below the actualstrength of the conductor. Various means are available, such

40、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 asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.
