48、med at a room temperature of 23 + -2C. The test specimens shall be kept at room temperature for not less than 30 minutes prior to the tests. 6.1.2 Heat Resistance Specimens of insulated wire, each having a length of 12 in. plus the length required for winding on the mandrel, shall be placed in an ai

49、r-circulating oven at the temperature specified in Table 5-1 for the applicable wire type, for a period of 96 hours. They shall be removed from the conditioning chamber and allowed to return to room temperature. The specimen shall be examined for cracks. The length of exposed conductor, if any, at each end of the specimen shall be considered as shrinkage of the insulation. In no case shall the shrinkage at either end exceed a maximum value of 1/8 in. Following the oven aging, specimens shall be wound tightly around a mandrel approximately but not
