(0.0025 mm).5.2 Wire shall be truly cylindrical in form. The diametershall not vary more than 61

10、 % from that specified.6. Twist Test6.1 For the purpose of determining and developing defectswhich may be prejudicial to the life of trolley wire, owing to itspeculiar service as compared to that of wire for other purposes,round wire shall be subjected to the twist test described in 6.2.Round wire s

11、hall not be considered satisfactory if it does notwithstand, without breaking, at least the number of twistsprescribed in Table 2.6.2 Three twist tests shall be made on specimens 10 in. (254mm) in length between the holders of the testing machine. Thetwisting machine shall be so constructed that the

12、re is a linearmotion of the tail stock with respect to the head. The twist shallbe applied not faster than 10 turns/min. All three specimensshall be twisted to destruction and shall not reveal under testany seams, pits, slivers, or surface imperfections of sufficientmagnitude to indicate inherent de

13、fects or imperfections in thewire. At the time of fracture the wire shall twist with reason-able uniformity.GROOVED AND FIGURE-9 WIRE7.

Elongation tests shall not be

16、 made onspecimens containing joints.7.3 The tension and elongation tests for grooved or figure-9wire shall be made in the same manner as those on round wireas described in 4.3.8. Dimensions and Permissible Variations8.1 The size of the trolley wire shall be expressed as thenominal area of cross sect

Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance14.1 The wire shall be of uniform size, shape, and qualitythroughout, and shall be f

26、ree from all scale, flaws, splits, andscratches not consistent with the best commercial practice.15. Inspection15.1 All tests governing the acceptance or rejection of thewire, unless otherwise specified, shall be made at the place ofmanufacture with apparatus furnished by the manufacturer andin the

27、presence of the purchaser or his representative, who shallbe furnished a copy of the tests. The manufacturer shall affordthe inspector representing the purchaser all reasonable facilitiesto satisfy him as to the reliability of the results before the wireis delivered. If the purchaser waives inspecti

28、on, and if he soelects at that time, he shall be furnished with a certified copy oftests made by the manufacturer.16. Rejection16.1 Any reel of wire that fails to conform to the require-ments prescribed in this specification may be rejected. Failureof 30 % of the number of reels ready for inspection
