Construction8.1 The construction of the com
15、pact round SIW strandedconductors shall be as given in Table 1.8.2 Wires used in the fabrication of the compact roundconductor shall be of such dimensions as to produce a finishedconductor as prescribed in Table 1.9. Density9.1 For the purpose of calculating mass per unit length,cross sections, and
16、so forth, the density of the copper shall betaken as 8.89 g/cm3(0.32117 lb/in.3) at 20C.9.2 The mass and electrical resistance of a unit length ofstranded unsealed conductor are a function of the length of lay.The approximate mass and electrical resistance may be deter-mined using the standard incre
17、ments shown in Table 2. Whengreater accuracy is desired, the increment based on the specificlay of the conductor may be calculated (Explanatory Note 4).9.3 The maximum electrical resistance of a unit length ofstranded conductor shall not exceed 102 % of the nominal dcresistance shown in Table 1. Whe
18、n the dc resistance ismeasured at other than 20C, it is to be corrected by using themultiplying factor given in Table 2.9.4 For conductors to be used in covered or insulated wiresor cables, dc resistance measurement may be used instead ofthe method outlined in Section 10, to determine compliancewith
19、 this specification.10. Variation in Area10.1 The cross-sectional area of the compact round conduc-tor shall not be less than 98 % of the cross-sectional area asspecified in Column 1 of Table 1.10.2 The manufacturer shall determine the cross-sectionalarea by Test Method B263. In applying this test m
20、ethod, theincrement in mass per unit length resulting from stranding maybe the applicable value specified in 10.1 or may be calculatedfrom the measured dimensions of the sample under test. In caseof a question regarding area compliance, the actual mass perunit length increment due to stranding shall
21、 be calculated.11. Variation in Diameter11.1 The average diameter of the compact round conductorshall not vary by more than plus 1 % and minus 2 % from thediameter specified in Table 1.12. Finish12.1 The conductor surface shall be smooth and free ofimperfections not consistent with the best commerci

34、dology that varies the number of wires within a range of conductorsizes in order to permit that range of conductor sizes to be constructedfrom a single wire size.NOTE 4The increment of weight or electrical resistance of a com-pleted concentric-lay-stranded conductor (k), in %, is as follows:k 5 100

Thestranding factor m for the completed stranded conductor is the numericalaverage of the stranding factors for each of the individual wires in theconductor, including the straight core wire, if any (for which the strandingfactor is unity).
