10、oreword This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Iron and Steel Standards Policy Committee and is a revision of BS4087:1966 which is withdrawn. This standard specifies the properties of wire which has been copper-covered by the electrolytic deposition process. Copper-covere

11、d steel wire manufactured by a different process may be supplied provided that all the requirements of this standard are met. In this revision all references to Imperial units have been deleted, small changes to phosphorous and sulphur limits are incorporated and reference to the rate of twisting in

12、 the torsion tests has been deleted. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summ

13、ary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages1 to 6, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside fro

14、nt cover.BS4087:1989 BSI 07-1999 1 1 Scope This British Standard specifies the electrical and mechanical properties of cold drawn copper-covered steel wire for telephone and telegraph purposes, with two grades of conductivity and three of tensile strength (expressed as minimum breaking load) for a r

15、ange of wire diameters from0.51mm to4.88mm together with diameter tolerances for a range of nominal wire diameters. NOTE 1The information to be supplied by the purchaser in the enquiry and order is given in Appendix A. NOTE 2The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on i

16、nside back cover. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard the following definitions apply. 2.1 coil a single length of finished wire, without joint or splice of any description, wound in close packed concentric rings 2.2 reel a cylindrical former with end flanges, constructed from wo

17、od, metal or plastics materials NOTEWhere the flanges are detachable (described as collapsible reel) the wire supported on the cylindrical former should still be described as a reel for the purposes of this standard. 2.3 batch any quantity of finished wire, presented for examination and test at any

18、one time 2.4 test piece a length of wire taken for test in accordance with this standard 2.5 sample one or more test pieces selected from a batch 3 Manufacture The wire shall be drawn from a copper-covered steel core of rod or wire. The steel core shall contain not more than 0.040% each of sulphur o

19、r phosphorus by cast analysis. The copper coating shall be securely bonded to the steel. There shall be no weld or joint made in the rod or wire after copper coating. 4 Quality of finished wire The finished wire shall be well and cleanly drawn to the dimensions specified in Table 2 and the copper co

20、ating shall be free from harmful defects and shall remain bonded to the steel. 5 Tolerances 5.1 Tolerance on diameter The tolerance on the nominal coated wire diameter shall be as given in Table 1. The nominal coated diameter of the wire shall be the mean of the two measurements made at right angles

21、 to each other. Table 1 Tolerances on diameter 5.2 Concentricity of the copper coating The minimum coating thickness, expressed as a percentage of the theoretical average thickness, shall be 95% for all sizes. The measurement shall be made by microscopic examination at a magnification of 200. The ca

22、lculated minimum coating thicknesses for a range of sizes between0.51mm and4.88mm and for30% and40% conductivity shall be as given in Table 2. NOTEThe theoretical average coating thickness T (in%) for any percentage by mass can be determined by the equation: where D is the diameter of conductor (in

23、mm); A sis the area of steel (in%). The area of steel A sas a percentage of total is given by the equation: where W sis the steel mass as percentage of total (in%); W cis the copper mass as percentage of total (in%). For the purpose of this calculation the copper mass as a percentage of the total is

24、 26% total mass for 30 % conductivity and 37.5 % total mass for40 % conductivity. 6 Inspection and testing Selection and testing of test pieces for all tests shall be carried out at the manufacturers works in accordance with clauses 7, 8, 9 and 10.

26、rder (see Appendix A). 7 Selection of test pieces and number of tests Test pieces of appropriate length for the tests specified in clauses 8, 9 and 10 shall be cut from each end of finished coils at the rate of one coil for every10 coils or part thereof in any one batch. If wire is supplied on reels

27、, the test piece shall be taken from the outer end of each reel. At least one test for concentricity shall be carried out for each batch of wire. NOTEThe test pieces should be made as straight as possible and precautions should be taken so not to damage the wire coating. 8 Mechanical properties 8.1

28、Tensile strength When tested in accordance with BS4545, the minimum breaking load of the test piece shall comply with the appropriate value given in Table 2. 8.2 Torsion When tested in accordance with BS 4545, the test piece shall withstand, without sign of failure, a minimum of 20 twists on a lengt

29、h equivalent to 100 diameters. The test shall be continued until fracture occurs. The copper coating shall not separate from the steel core. The fracture faces shall be at right angles to the axis of the wire. 9 Electrical properties 9.1 The electrical resistance of the test piece selected in accord

30、ance with clause 7 and determined in accordance with the method specified in BS5714 and multiplied by the expression given below shall not exceed the value given in Table 2 for the appropriate nominal diameter of wire. where K is the nominal mass per kilometer (in kg/km); W is the mass per kilometer

31、 of the test piece (inkg/km); C is where t is the temperature (in C) (see Table 3). NOTEFor temperature conversion factors see Table 3 of Appendix B. 9.2 The resistivity at 20 C of wire at 30% and 40% nominal conductivity shall not exceed the following: a) 0.058 62 7mm 2 /m at 30% nominal conductivi

32、ty; b) 0.043 96 7mm 2 /m at 40% nominal conductivity. NOTEThe nominal conductivity values adopted in this standard are based on the standard value for annealed high conductivity copper as laid down by the International Electrotechnical Commission. The corresponding resistivity values will be found t

33、o be only approximately equivalent to 30% and 40% of the conductivity of annealed high conductivity copper hence the use of the term “nominal conductivity”. 10 Continuity of coating 10.1 The test piece shall show no blue discoloration when tested as described in 10.2 or, in case of dispute, in 10.3.

34、 10.2 The test piece shall be wound eight times round a mandrel of its own diameter. The test piece shall then be immersed in a 1 : 1 solution of hydrochloric acid (d = 1.19) for 3min. The test piece after rinsing in water shall be immersed for2min in a solution of10g of potassium ferricyanide in100

35、0mL of distilled water to which is added11mL of sulphuric acid (d = 1.84), The temperature of the solution shall be between15 C and20 C. On removal from the solution, the test piece shall be inspected visually without magnification. 10.3 In case of dispute the same test piece shall be cleaned by imm

36、ersion in nitric acid (d = 1.42) for 10 s and thoroughly washed. The full procedure detailed in10.2 shall then be repeated and if the test piece then shows no blue discoloration, it shall be deemed to comply with this British Standard. 11 Retests Should a test piece fail to meet any one of the requi

37、rements of this standard, two further tests in respect of the same requirement shall be made on test pieces taken from the same coil or reel. Provided the results of both these further tests meet the requirements, all the material represented shall be deemed to comply with this British Standard. If

38、after retests 10% or more of the selected coils or reels fail the batch from which they were taken is deemed not to comply with this British Standard.
