2、st revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers and prescribes the recom-mended standard metric sizes of solid round electrical conduc-tors.1.
3、2 This specification prescribes the recommended standardmetric size designations of stranded electrical conductors (seeExplanatory Note 1).NOTE 1Physical properties, construction requirements, and manufac-turing tolerances for specific products should be included in individualproduct specifications
4、developed in accordance with appropriate sizes inthis specification.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3.1 Exceptions For conductor sizes designated byAWG or kcmil, the requirements in SI units have beennumeri
5、cally converted from corresponding values, stated orderived, in inch-pound units. For conductor sizes designated bySI units only, the requirements are stated or derived in SI units.Rounded values appear in Table 1.2.

Standard Reference Temperature3.1 For the purpose of this specification, all wire dimensionsand properties shall be considered as occurring at the interna-tionally standardized reference temperature of 20C.4. Preferred Numbers4.1 The diameter
8、s in Table 1 and preferred cross-sectionalareas in Table 2 are rounded preferred numbers from R(Renard) series in accordance with ISO R388.NOTE 2The use of preferred numbers has many advantages and thevalues selected do not vary significantly from the calculated numbers ofthe series used. The prefer
9、red and second preference size designations,using a Renard series of numbers, provides a schedule of interrelated sizesfor aluminum and copper conductors.NOTE 3Should sizes be needed either larger or smaller than thoselisted in Table 1 or Table 2, the respective R series may be expandedupward or dow

37、EXPLANATORY NOTESNOTE 1The purpose of this specification is to provide logicalgeometrically progressive series of sizes for guidance to individuals andorganizations preparing hard metric specifications for all types of roundwire and stranded electrical conductors. The preferred sizes have beenestabl
38、ished to avoid proliferation of non-preferred sizes. They provide aseries of sizes intended to be acceptable for most applications. The use ofmetric sizes will depend upon commercial factors, and their existencedoes not render obsolete existing specifications with inch-pound units asstandard. This s
39、pecification and hard metric conductor specificationsprepared in accordance with it are not intended to replace any of theexisting specifications having inch-pound units as the standard, with orwithout the inclusion of soft metric conversion.Terminology:hard metric specificationa specification for b
40、are, insulated, or cov-ered electrical conductors incorporating SI units as the standard, andincluding a series of standard sizes differing from those in inch-poundconductor specifications.soft metric conversionThe addition of SI units, converted from U.S.customary units, to a specification for bare
41、, insulated, or covered electricalconductors which includes the inch-pound units as the standard and retainsthe customary series of standard sizes.NOTE 2Micrometer calipers graduated to measure 0.002 mm shouldbe considered satisfactory for measuring the diameters of wires 0.050 mmand larger. For gre
42、ater accuracy in obtaining the mean diameter ofultrafine wire smaller than 0.050 mm. Test Method F205 should beconsidered satisfactory.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.
