18、2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 133 “Copper and copper alloys”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2013, and co
19、nflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This d
20、ocument supersedes EN 13601:2002. In comparison with EN 13601:2002, the following significant technical changes have been made: Maximum diameters or widths across-flats for round, square and hexagonal rod have been expanded. Terms and definitions clause has been modified. Cu-OFE (CW009A) and Cu-PHCE
21、 (CW022A) have been added. Tolerances on width and thickness of bar and rectangular wire have been modified (see Table 6). Within its programme of work, Technical Committee CEN/TC 133 requested CEN/TC 133/WG 4 “Extruded and drawn products, forgings and scrap“ to prepare the following revision of the
22、 standard: EN 13601:2002, Copper and copper alloys Copper rod, bar and wire for general electrical purposes. The products specified in this European Standard are those which are especially suitable for electrical purposes, i.e. with specified electrical properties. Copper rod, bar and wire for gener
23、al purposes are specified in EN 12163, EN 12166 and EN 12167. Annex A (informative) gives guidance on the characteristics of coppers for electrical purposes. This is one of a series of European Standards for copper products for electrical purposes. Other copper products are specified as follows: EN

37、1190-1. NOTE Although material symbol designations used in this standard might be the same as those in other standards using the designation system given in ISO 1190-1, the detailed composition requirements are not necessarily the same. 4.1.3 Number The material number designation is in accordance w
38、ith the system given in EN 1412. BS EN 13601:2013EN 13601:2013 (E) 8 4.2 Material condition For the purposes of this standard, the following designations, which are in accordance with the system given in EN 1173, apply for the material condition: D Material condition for the product as cold worked w
39、ithout specified mechanical properties; H. Material condition designated by the minimum value of hardness requirement for the product with mandatory hardness requirements; R. Material condition designated by the minimum value of tensile strength requirement for the product with mandatory tensile str
40、ength, 0,2 % proof strength and elongation requirements. Products in the H. condition may be specified to Vickers or Brinell hardness. The material condition designation H. is the same for both hardness test methods. Exact conversion between the material conditions designated H. and R. is not possib
41、le. Material condition is designated by only one of the above designations. 4.3 Product The product designation provides a standardised pattern of designation from which a rapid and unequivocal description of a product can be conveyed in communication.
