47、Y NOTESNOTE 1The H1X tempers (strain-hardened only) and the H2Xtempers (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 crite
48、ria 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 the valuesof electrical resistivity prescribed in this specification are shown in TableX1.1. Resistivity units are based on the International
49、Annealed CopperStandard (IACS) adopted by IEC in 1983, which is 1/58mm2/m at 20Cfor 100 % conductivity. The value of 0.017241 mm2/m at 20C is theinternational 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 revers
