23、ry Nb3Sn superconductors and works as an electrical shunt when the superconductivity is interrupted. It also contributes to recovery of the superconductivity by conducting the heat generated in the superconductor to the surrounding coolant. The resistivity of copper used in the composite superconduc

24、tor in the cryogenic temperature region is an important quantity which influences the stability of the superconductor. The residual resistance ratio is defined as a ratio of the resistance of the superconductor at room temperature to that just above the superconducting transition. In this Internatio

25、nal Standard, the test method for the residual resistance ratio of Nb3Sn composite superconductors is described. The curve method is employed for the measurement of the resistance just above the superconducting transition. Other methods are described in Clause A.3. BS EN 61788-11:2011 6 61788-11 IEC

26、:2011 SUPERCONDUCTIVITY Part 11: Residual resistance ratio measurement Residual resistance ratio of Nb3Sn composite superconductors 1 Scope This part of IEC 61788 covers a test method for the determination of the residual resistance ratio (RRR) of Nb3Sn composite superconductors. This method is inte

27、nded for use with superconductor specimens that have a monolithic structure with rectangular or round cross-section, RRR less than 350 and cross-sectional area less than 3 mm2, and have received a reaction heat-treatment. Ideally, it is intended that the specimens be as straight as possible; however

28、, this is not always the case, thus care must be taken to measure the specimen in its as received condition. All measurements are done without an applied magnetic field. The method described in the body of this standard is the “reference” method and optional acquisition methods are outlined in Claus

31、above the superconducting transition NOTE In this standard for Nb3Sn composite superconductors, the room temperature is defined as 293K (20C), and the residual resistance ratio is obtained in Equation (1) below, where the resistance (R1) at 293K is divided by the resistance (R2) just above the super

32、conducting transition. 21RRRRR = (1) Figure 1 shows schematically a resistance versus temperature curve acquired on a specimen while measuring cryogenic resistance. Draw a line in Figure 1 where the resistance sharply increases (a), and draw also a line in Figure 1 where the resistance increases gra

34、intersection point. Figure 1 Relationship between temperature and resistance 4 Requirements The resistance measurement both at room and cryogenic temperatures shall be performed with the four-terminal technique. The target relative combined standard uncertainty of this method is defined as an expand

35、ed uncertainty (k = 2) not to exceed 10% based on the coefficient of variation (COV) of 5% in the intercomparison test (see Clause C.2). 5 Apparatus 5.1 Material of measuring base plate Material of the measuring base plate shall be copper, aluminum, silver or the like whose thermal conductivity is e

36、qual to or better than 100W/(mK) at liquid helium temperature (4,2 K). The surface of the material shall be covered with an insulating layer (tape or a layer made of polyethylene terephthalate, polyester, polytetrafluoroethylene, etc.) whose thickness is 0,1mm or less. 5.2 Length of the measuring ba

37、se plate The measuring base plate shall be at least 30mm long in one dimension. 5.3 Cryostat for the resistance, R2, measurement The cryostat shall include a specimen support structure and a liquid helium reservoir for the resistance, R2, measurement. The specimen support structure shall allow the s

38、pecimen, which is mounted on a measurement base plate, to be lowered and raised into and out of a liquid helium bath. In addition, the specimen support structure shall be made so that a current BS EN 61788-11:2011 8 61788-11 IEC:2011 can flow through the specimen and the resulting voltage generated

39、along the specimen can be measured. 6 Specimen preparation The test specimen shall have no joints or splices, and shall be 30mm or longer. The distance between two voltage taps (L) shall be 25mm or longer. A thermometer for measuring cryogenic temperature shall be attached near the specimen. Some me

40、chanical method shall be used to hold the specimen against the insulated layer of the measurement base plate. Special care shall be taken during instrumentation and installation of the specimen on the measurement base plate so that no excessive force, which may cause undesired bending strain or tens

41、ile strain, shall be applied to the specimen. The specimen shall be instrumented with current contacts near each end of the specimen and a pair of voltage contacts over a central portion of the specimen. The specimen shall be mounted on a measurement base plate for these measurements. Both resistanc

42、e measure-ments, R1and R2, shall be made on the same specimen and the same mounting. 7 Data acquisition and analysis 7.1 Resistance (R1) at room temperature The mounted specimen shall be measured at room temperature (Tm (K), where Tmsatisfies the following condition 273 Tm 308. A specimen current (I

43、1(A) shall be applied so that the current density is in the range of 0,1A/mm2to 1A/mm2based on the total wire cross-sectional area, and the resulting voltage (U1(V), I1and Tmshall be recorded. Equation(2) below shall be used to calculate the resistance (Rm) at room temperature. The resistance (R1) a

44、t 293 K shall be calculated using equation (3) for a wire with Cu stabilizer. The value of R1shall be set equal to Rm, without any temperature correction, for wires that do not contain a pure Cu component. 11mIUR = (2) )( 2930,003931mm1+=TRR (3) 7.2 Resistance (R2) just above the superconducting tra

45、nsition 7.2.1 The specimen, which is still mounted as it was for the room temperature measurement, shall be placed in the cryostat for electrical measurement specified under 5.3. Alternate cryostats that employ a heating element to sweep the specimen temperature are described in Clause A.2. 7.2.2 Th

46、e specimen shall be slowly lowered into the liquid helium bath and cooled to liquid helium temperature over a time period of at least 5min. 7.2.3 During the acquisition phases of the low-temperature R2measurements, a specimen current (I2) shall be applied so that the current density is in the range

47、of 0,1A/mm2to 10 A/mm2based on the total wire cross-sectional area and the resulting voltage (U(V), I2(A), and specimen temperature (T (K) shall be recorded. In order to keep the ratio of signal to noise high enough, the measurement shall be carried out under the condition that the BS EN 61788-11:20
