(Outside diameter is nine times nominal wire diameter.)7.5 The steel wires shall be so stranded that when the stranded core is cut the individual wires can be readily regrouped andthen held in place by one hand.7.6 For con
21、struction containing 19 or more wires, the direction of lay will alternate with each layer.7.7 The direction of lay of the outer layer shall be as specified by the purchaser at the time of placing the order.8. Construction and Recommended Standard Stranded-Core Lengths8.1 Overhead Electrical Conduct
22、ors may be constructed using steel core wire with any one of six types of the protective coatingsor aluminum clad and associated strength grades. The acceptable core wires are produced to ASTM Specifications shown inSection 5 of this standard.8.2 The number and diameters of the steel wires shall con
23、form to the requirements in respective ASTM Conductor Standards.8.3 Recommended standard unit-stranded-core multiple lengths are given in respective ASTM Conductor Standards.9. Length Tolerance9.1 All lengths of stranded core shall be furnished to a length tolerance of 62%.10. Tensile Properties10.1
24、 The rated ultimate strength or strength at 1 % extension of stranded core for overhead electrical conductors shall be takenas that percentage according to the number of wires, indicated below, of the sum of the strengths of the steel wires, calculated fromtheir specified nominal wire diameter and t
25、he appropriate specified minimum stress at 1 % extension or ultimate strength given inSpecifications B498/B498M, B606, B802/B802M, B803, B957, or , B958 or B502:72wire strand96 % of sum of componentsB0500_B0500M-12_1B0500_B0500M-12_2B0500_B0500M-12_3B0500_B0500M-12_410.2 Stranded steel core samples
26、shall sustain loads equal to or greater than the values computed by the method of 10.1.Compliance can be shown either by testing the completed strand or by calculation using the strands individual wire properties(e.g., ultimate strength or stress at 1% extension). When calculating the strand strengt
27、hs using the strands individual wireproperties, it shall be computed as the percentage of the sum of the actual wire strengths as indicated below:B0500_B0500M-12_5B500/B500M 122B0500_B0500M-12_6B0500_B0500M-12_7B0500_B0500M-12_810.3 For determining compliance with the rated strength at 1 % extension
28、, use a Class B-1, B-2, or C extensometer as describedin Practice E83. The gage length shall be not less than 20 in. (500 mm).10.4 When testing the completed stranded core strand, apply an initial load computed from the formula below and Table 1.Attach the extensometer and set to the appropriate Ini
29、tial Setting from Table 1. Then increase the load until the indicated totalextension is 1 % (0.0100 in./in. or 0.0100 mm/mm). Record the load as the strength at 1 % extension.B0500_B0500M-12_910.5 Stranded steel core shall meet the minimum requirements for tensile strength at 1 % extension except as
30、 set forth in 10.6.10.6 Purchasers of core intended for use in conductor constructions with annealed aluminum wires, such as ACSS, may requestthe stranded steel core be compliant only with ultimate tensile strength and may waive compliance with the 1 % extension tensilerequirement. This use of the u
31、ltimate tensile requirement as an alternate to the 1 % extension requirement shall be by agreementbetween the purchaser and producer and shall be noted on product compliance documentation B498/B498M, B606, B802/B802M,B803, B957, or , B958 or B502.11. Workmanship11.1 The finished stranded core shall
32、be uniform in diameter and shall be free from imperfections not consistent with goodcommercial stranding practice. The stranded core shall be free from waviness and kinks.12. Number of Tests12.1 Samples from each lot shall be taken in accordance with Table 2. A lot shall be defined as all the packag
33、es (reels or coils)of the same size, construction, length, and type of coating offered for shipment at one time.12.2 An alternative to 12.1 is to use the strand production lot. Testing would be completed on the individual wires, completedstrand, or both, sampled to be representative of all strand re
34、els produced from that strand production lot. If the producer makesthis election, the purchaser still reserves the right to test wires or strand from the offered lot as outlined in 12.1. With this option,the producer shall report the test results of all reels in the shipment in lieu of using Table 2
35、.12.3 Samples shall be tested for compliance with Sections 7 and 10 and as required in the applicable wire standard referencedin Section 2.13. Inspection13.1 All tests and inspection shall be made at the place of final manufacture unless otherwise agreed upon between the producerand the purchaser at
36、 the time of purchase.14. Rejection14.1 Failure of any of the test specimens to comply with the requirements of this specification shall constitute grounds forrejection of the lot represented by the specimen. The lot may be resubmitted for inspection by testing every package (reels or coils)for the
37、characteristic in which the specimen failed and sorting out the defective packages.15. Packaging and Package Marking15.1 Package sizes and kind of package shall be agreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser.15.2 When permitted by the purchaser two or more unit lengths of stranded core ma
38、y be shipped on one reel. If the multiplelength is continuous, with no welds or strand joints, a flag or marker shall be placed in the reel where the unit length ends. If themultiple length on the reel consists of two or more separate lengths, they must not be joined. The free ends must be secured t
39、othe reel head, and a flag or warning marker shall be inserted in the winding, warning of the approaching end.15.3 The net weight, length or lengths, construction (strands 3 wire diameter), direction of lay of outside layer, type of wirecoating, purchase order number, Specification B500/B500M, and m
40、anufacturers name shall be marked on a tag and attached onthe outside of the package. If multiple lengths are allowed, marking must show position and footage of each length and whether“continuous or “separated lengths.16.
