38、et-insulated, or other wire, the insulation thickness T 1 is to be determined from measurements made at a marked position on a 25 mm (1 in) length of the nished, insulated conductor. The diameter D 1 over the insulation is to be measured to the nearest 0.01 mm (0.001 in) by means of a dead-weight di
39、al micrometer whose presser foot puts a load of 0.84 0 . 0 2No r8 5 2 gf on the specimen. The presser foot is to have a at, round face whose diameter is 6.4 0.2 mm (0.250 0.010 in). The anvil of the instrument is to be round, at least 38 mm (1.5 in) in diameter, and is to be parallel to the face of
40、the presser foot. The diameter d over the conductor, or over the separator, is to be measured by means of the same dial micrometer. The thickness T 1 is then calculated to the nearest 0.01 mm (0.001 in) from the formula: 7.1.3 The insulated conductors of a parallel cord are to be separated. The insu
41、lation thickness T 1 of an insulated conductor from a parallel or jacketed cord or from a xture wire is to be determined as indicated in 7.1.2 from measurements made at a marked position on a 25 mm (1 in) length of insulated conductor from the nished exible cord or xture wire. 7.1.4 The apparatus fo
42、r this test is illustrated in Figure 7.1. The apparatus is to be of brass and is to consist of three rods that are free to move vertically in a support frame. The assembly is to be constructed for use in a heated oven. Each rod is to be straight and 19.0 0.2 mm (0.75 0.010 in) in diameter. The weigh
43、t of each rod is to be 250 g (8.8 oz). The lower end of each rod is to be reduced in diameter to 9.5 0.2 mm (0.375 0.010 in) or for the nal 19 mm (3/4 in) or length of the rod. The lower end of the reduced-diameter section is to be at, round, without sharp edges, and both concentric with and perpend
44、icular to the longitudinal axis of the rod. The lower end of the reduced section is to serve as the foot that presses on a specimen during a test. The force on the specimen is to be the sum of the force exerted by the rod (2.45 N or 250 gf) plus that of any weight to be placed on the upper end of th
45、e rod to make the total force equal the load specied in Table 7.1. Each weight is to be indent stamped with its exact weight. This is generated text for gtxt.

47、 is to consist of three at, rectangular plates spaced 57 mm (2-1/4 in) apart (vertical separation) and parallel to one another in a rigid assembly. The dimensions of the plates are to be the same (plates measuring 216 by 70 by 6 mm (8-1/2 by 2-3/4 by 1/4 in) are typical). The upper surface of the lo
48、wer plate is to be the surface against which each rod presses a specimen during a test. That surface is to be horizontal during a test. That surface is to be smooth (the surface is to be renished when repeated testing indents the surface or makes it rough to the touch). Identically located holes are
49、 to be provided through the center and upper plates to serve as guides and supports for the rods, which are to be free to move vertically and not otherwise. The diameter of each hole is to be larger than the 19 mm (3/4 in) diameter or diameter portion of a rod for clearance of vertical movement of a rod in the hole. Horizontal separation between the rods is to enable weights to be in place on all three rods at the same time with a clearance between the weights.
