18、efects or imperfections. Examinationof the wire at the break with the unaided eye (normal spectaclesexcepted) shall show no separation of copper from the steel.5.4 JointsNecessary joints in the wire and rods prior tofinal drawing shall be made in accordance with good commer-cial practice. The finish

19、ed wire shall contain no joints or splicesmade at finished size.5.5 FinishThe wire shall be free from copper discontinui-ties and all imperfections not consistent with good commercialpractice (see 7.5).5.6 Copper ThicknessThe minimum copper thickness dueto eccentricity shall not be less than shown i

20、n Table 2.5.7 ResistivityThe electrical resistivity at a temperature of20C shall not exceed the values prescribed in Table 1. SeeNote 2 for calculating electrical resistance.NOTE 2Relationships which may be useful in connection with thevalues of electrical resistivity prescribed in this specificatio

21、n are shown inTable 2. Resistivity units are based on the International Annealed CopperStandard (IACS) adopted by IEC in 1913, which is158 ohm mm2/m at20C for 100 % conductivity. The value of 0.017241 ohm mm2/m and thevalue of 0.15328 ohm g/m2at 20C are, respectively, the internationalequivalent of

22、volume and weight resistivity of annealed copper equal to100 % conductivity. The latter term means that a copper wire 1 in. inlength and weighing 1 g would have a resistance of 0.15328 ohm. This isequivalent to a resistivity value of 875.20 ohm lb/mile2, which signifiesthe resistance of a copper wir

23、e 1 mile in length weighing 1 lb. It is alsoequivalent, for example, to 1.7241 ohm/cm of length of a copper bar 1 cm2in cross section. A complete discussion of this subject is contained inNBS Handbook 100. The use of five significant figures in expressingresistivity does not imply the need for great

24、er accuracy of measurementthan that specified in Test Method B193. The use of five significant figuresis required for complete reversible conversion from one set of resistivityunits to another.6. Inspection6.1 GeneralAll tests and inspections shall be made at theplace of manufacture unless otherwise

25、 agreed upon betweenthe manufacturer and the purchaser at the time of the purchase.The manufacturer shall afford the inspector representing thepurchaser all reasonable facilities to satisfy him that thematerial is being furnished in accordance with this specifica-tion (Note 3).NOTE 3Cumulative resul

26、ts secured on the product of a singlemanufacturer, indicating continued conformance to the criteria, arenecessary to ensure an over-all product meeting the requirements of thisspecification. The sample sizes and conformance criteria given for thevarious characteristics are applicable only to lots pr

27、oduced under theseconditions.6.1.1 Unless otherwise agreed by the manufacturer and thepurchaser, conformance of the wire to the various requirementslisted in Section 5 shall be determined on samples taken fromeach lot of wire presented for acceptance.6.1.2 The manufacturer shall, if requested prior

28、toinspection, certify that all wire in the lot was made under suchconditions that the product as a whole conforms to therequirements of this specification as determined by regularlymade and recorded tests.6.2 Definitions:6.2.1 lotany amount of wire of one class and size pre-sented for acceptance at

29、one time, such amount, however, is notto exceed 40 000 lb (18 144 kg) (Note 4).NOTE 4Alot should comprise material taken from a product regularlymeeting the requirements of this specification. Inspection of individuallots of less than 500 lb (230 kg) of wire cannot be justified economically.For smal

30、l lots of 500 lb (230 kg) or less, the purchaser may agree to themanufacturers regular inspection of the product as a whole as evidence ofacceptability of such small lots.6.2.2 samplea quantity of production units (coils, reels,and so forth) selected at random from the lot for the purpose ofdetermin

31、ing conformance of the lot to the requirements of thisspecification.6.2.3 specimena length of wire removed for test purposesfrom any individual production unit of the sample.6.3 Sample SizeThe number of production units in asample (see Note 3) shall be as follows:6.3.1 For tensile strength, elongati

32、on, resistivity, adhesion,and other defects, the sample shall consist of four productionunits. For surface finish the sampling shall be in accordancewith Table 3. From each unit, one test specimen of sufficientlength shall be removed for the performance of the requiredtests. Samples found defective

33、shall not be used.7.

Tensile strength andelongation may be determined simultaneously on the samespecimen.7.1.1 The elongation of wire may be determi

37、ned as thepermanent increase in length, expressed in percent of theoriginal length, due to the breaking of the wire in tension,measured between gage marks placed originally 10 in. (250mm) apart upon the test specimen (Note 5). The elongation ofwire shall be determined as described above or by measur

38、e-ments made between the jaws of the testing machine (cross-head movement). When the latter method is used, the zerolength shall be the distance between the jaws at the start of thetension test when 10 % of the minimum specified breakingload has been applied and be as near 10 in. (250 mm) aspractica

39、ble, and the final length shall be the distance betweenthe jaws at the time of rupture. The fracture shall be betweengage marks in the case of specimens so marked or between thejaws of the testing machine and not closer than 1 in. (25 mm)to either gage mark or either jaw.NOTE 5It is known that the r

40、ate of loading during tension testingaffects the performance of the sample to a greater or lesser extentdepending upon many factors. In general, tested values of tensile strengthare increased and tested values of elongation are reduced with increase ofspeed of the moving head of the testing machine.

41、 It is suggested that testsbe made at speeds of moving head which, under no-load conditions, arenot greater than 12 in./min (305 mm/min), but in no case at a speed greaterthan that at which correct readings can be made.7.1.2 Measure the elongation by means of an extensometeror other device suitable

42、for measuring elongation in 10 in. (250mm), and having a vernier reading to 0.01 in. (0.25 mm)attached to the test specimen at a tension load of approximately10 % of rated strength. Observe the elongation while applyinga tension load to the specimen and take the reading whenfracture occurs as the el

43、ongation of the specimen. Disregardtests in which the elongation is less than specified, but in whichthe fracture has occurred within 1 in. (25 mm) of the jaws orextensometer clamps.7.2 ResistivityThe electrical resistivity of the materialshall be determined in accordance with Test Method B193.7.3 D

44、imensional MeasurementsMake dimensional mea-surements with a micrometer caliper equipped with a vernier(or better instrument) graduated in 0.0001 in. (0.0025 mm).Gage each coil at three places, one near each end and one nearthe middle. From each spool unreel approximately 12 ft (3600mm) and gage the

45、 wire in six places between the second (600thmm) and twelfth foot (3600th mm) from the end.7.4 Torsion (Twist) TestThe wire shall withstand withoutfracture not less than 20 torsions in a length equivalent to 100times the nominal diameter of the specimen.All twists shall bemade in the same direction.

46、 The rate of applying the twistsshall be approximately 15/min. Specimens shall be twisted todestruction and shall meet the requirements of 5.3 of thisspecification.7.5 FinishSurface finish inspection shall be made with theunaided eye (normal spectacles excepted) for wire diametersabove 0.100 in. (2.

47、54mm). For sizes of 0.100 in. (2.54 mm) andbelow a magnifier of 10 may be used.7.6 Copper ThicknessDetermination of the minimum cop-per thickness shall be done by microscopical examination ofthe polished end or by standard stripping methods or by anyother suitable method agreed upon between the manu

48、facturerand the purchaser.8. Conformance Criteria (See Note 3)8.1 Any lot of wire, the samples of which comply with theconformance criteria of this section, shall be considered ascomplying with the requirements of Section 5. Individualproduction units that fail to meet one or more of the require-men

49、ts shall be rejected. Failure of a sample group from a lot tomeet one or more of the following criteria shall constitutecause for rejection of the lot. The conformance criteria for eachof the prescribed properties given in Section 5 are as follows:8.2 Tensile Strength and ElongationThe lot shall be con-sidered conforming, if the values of the four specimens are notless than the appropriate values in Tables 2 and 3.8.3 ResistivityThe electrical resistivity of each of the fourspecimens shall conform to the requirements of Table 2.Failure to meet the
