Ordering Information5.1 Orders for material under this specification shall includethe following information:5.1.1 Quantity of each size, stranding, and

16、 class,5.1.2 Conductor size: circular mil area or AWG of alumi-num wires (Section 9 and Table 1),5.1.3 Number of wires, aluminum, and aluminum-clad steel(Table 1),5.1.4 Direction of lay of outer layer of aluminum wires ifother than right-hand (see 8.2),5.1.5 Special tests, if required (see 15.3 and

17、15.5),5.1.6 Package size (see 17.1 and Explanatory Note 5),5.1.7 Special package marking, if required (Section 17),5.1.8 Lagging, if required (see 17.3), and5.1.9 Place of inspection (Section 16).6. Requirement for Wires6.1 Before stranding, the aluminum wires used shall meetall the requirements of

18、Specification B230/B230M.6.2 Before stranding, the aluminum-clad steel core wiresused shall meet all the requirements of Specification B502.7. Joints7.1 Electric-butt welds, cold-pressure welds, or electric-butt, cold-upset welds in the finished individual aluminumwires composing the conductor may b

19、e made during thestranding process. No weld shall occur within 50 ft (15 m) ofa weld in the same wire or in any other wire of the completedconductor (Explanatory Note 1).7.2 There shall be no joints of any kind made in the finishedaluminum-clad steel wires.8. Lay8.1 The length of lay of the various
