47、ESNOTE 1The H1X tempers (strain-hardened only) and the H2X tem-pers (strain-hardened followed by partial annealing) are consideredequally suitable for most electrical purposes.NOTE 2In tension tests, the values obtained may be affected by testingspeed. It is recommended that for conformance criteria
48、 the testing speedshould not exceed 0.5 mm/mm of gage length or distance between gripsper minute.NOTE 3Relationships that may be useful in connection with thevalues of electrical resistivity prescribed in this specification are shown inTable X1.1. Resistivity units are based on the International Ann
49、ealedCopper Standard (IACS) adopted by IEC in 1983, which is 1/58 V mm2/mat 20C for 100 % conductivity. The value of 0.017241 V mm2/m at 20Cis the international equivalent of volume resistivity of annealed copper for100 % conductivity. A complete discussion of this subject is contained inNBS Handbook 100. The use of five significant figures in expressingresistivity does not imply the need for greater accuracy of measurementthan that specified in Test Method B193. The use of five significant figuresis required for reasonably accurate reversib
