2、 the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers aluminum 1350-O, annealed,1350-H12 or -H22 (14 hard), 1350-H14 or -H24 (12 har
3、d),1350-H16 or -H26 (34 hard), and 1350-H19 (extra hard) wire,rectangular or square in shape with rounded corners for use aselectrical conductors in insulated magnet wire.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound or SI units are to beregarded separately as standard. Each system shall be usedindependently
4、of the other. Combining the values from the twosystems may result in non-conformance with the specification.For conductor sizes designated by AWG or kcmil sizes, therequirements in SI units are numerically converted from thecorresponding requirements in inch-pound units. For conductorsizes designate
5、d byAWG or kcmil, the requirements in SI unitshave been numerically converted from corresponding valuesstated or derived in inch-pound units. for conductor sizesdesignated by SI units only, the requirements are stated orderived in SI units.1.2.1 For density, resitivity and temperature, the valuessta
6、ted in SI units are to be regarded as standard.NOTE 1The aluminum and temper designations conform to ANSIH35.1.
