They shall be removed from the conditioning chamber
46、 and allowed to return to room temperature. Each specimen shall be examined for cracks. The length of exposed conductor, if any, at each end of the specimen shall be considered as shrinkage of the insulation. In no case shall the shrinkage at either end exceed a maximum value of 1/8 inch. Following
47、the oven aging, specimens shall be wound tightly around a mandrel approximately, but not more than three times the overall diameter of the wire, for five close turns and removed as a helical coil. Slight discoloration shall be considered normal and acceptable. The coiled sections shall then be subje
