(250 mm) apart, upon the test specimen. 13.1.2 Ifany part of the fracture takes place outside the gaye marks or in the jaws of the tension testing machine, or if an examination of the specimen indicates a flaw, the value obiained may not be representative of the material, In such cases the test may be discarded and a new test made. 13.1.3 Wire elongation measurements are not required on wires of diameters less than 0.05 in. (1.3 mm). 13.2. Resistivity—Determine the electrical resistivity of the material in acvordance with Test Method B 193 (Explan- atory Nate 2) 3.3, Diameter Meusurements—Measure diameter with a micrometer caliper gradvated in 0.0001 in. (0.003 mm). Take measurements on each specimen selected for this test. Measure the diameter of the wire at two points, spaced approximately 90° apart, around the circumference of the wire, Take the average of these two readings as the diameter of the specimen, 13.4 Finish—Make a surface-finish inspection with the unaided eye (corrective lenses acceptable). 14, Inspection 14.1 Unless otherwise specified in the contract or pur- chase ordet, the manufacturer shall be responsible for the performance of all inspection and test requirements speci fied 14.2.

Unless otherwise specified, the wire shall be supplied in one continuous length on each reel, coil, or spool. 15.3 The wire shall be protected against damage in EXPLANATORY NOTES Nore 1—In tension tess. the values obtsined may be affected by testing speed. It is recommended thet for conformance eritere the testing speed should not exceed 0.5 in.jn, (0.8 mm/mm) of gage length ‘or distance between grips per minute Nove2—Relaionships that may be viol in connection with the valves of electrical resstivity prescrined in Table 2 are shown in Tale 4 Resistivity units are based on the Internatioral Annealed Copper Standard (IACS) adopted by TEC in 1913. which is Yse @-mmé/m at 20°C (68°F) for 100 % conductivity.

A complet discussion of this subject is contained in NBS Handhock 100. The use of five signficam figures in expressing restivity does not imply he need for fealer accuracy of rmearurement than that specified in Test Methed 4193. The wie of five significant figures is required for resonabiy accurate reversible conversion from one set of resistivity unis 10 another, The equivalent resistivny values in the t2ble were cerved from the fundamental IEC value (Yn Q-mmni/m) computed to seven sini cant figares and then rounded to five siniicant figures TABLE 4 Equivalent Resistivity Values at 20°C (68°F) * material.

Note 3~A lot should comprise materiel taken from a product regularly meeting the requirements of this specification. Inspection of individual lots of less than S006 Ib (2300 kg) of wire cannot be justified cconomically, For small lois of $00 1b or less the purchaser may agree fo the manuficturer’s regular inspection of the product at a whole as evidence of accepsability of such small lots. ‘Nore 4—Evidence of stitial control must be demonstrated.

From each unit, one test specimen of sufficient length shall be removed for the performance of the required tests. 12.2.2 For the bending properties test. any coil or reel ‘may be tested, but the frequency of production sampling and testing shall be by agreement between the manufaciurer and the purchaser, 13, Test Methods 13.1 Tensile Strength and Flongasion—The _ensile -rength, expressed in megapascals and determined in act cordance with Methods B 557M, shall be obtained by dividing the maximum load carried by the specimen during the tension test, by the original cross-sectional area of the specimen. Tensile strength and elongation may be deter- mined simultaneously on the same specimen (Explanatory Note 1), 13.1.1 ‘The elongation of wire whose nominal diameter is equal to or greater than 1.25 mm in diameier shall be determined as the permanent inerease in length, expressed in percent of the orginal lergth due to the breaking of the wire in tension, measired between gage marks, placed originally 250 mm apart, upon the test specimen, 13.1.2 Tf any part of the fracture takes place outside the gage marks or in the jaws of the tensile machine. or if an examination of the specimen indicates a flaw, the value obtained may not be representative of the material. In such ceases, the test may de discarded and a new test made, 131.3. Wire elongation measurements aze not required on wires of diameters less than 1,25 mm. 132 Resistiviiy—The electrical resistivity of the material -hall be determined in accordance with Test Method B 193 (Explanatory Note 2). 13.3 Diameter Measurements—Diameter measurements shall be made with a micrometer caliper. with minimum scale divisions no greater than 0.0] mm for wires of nominal diameter of 1.00 mm or larger and with minimum scale divisions no greater than 0.005 mm for wires of nominal diameter smaller than 1.000 mm. Measurements shall be made on each specimen selected for this test. The diameter of the wire shall be measured at two points. spaced approxi- ‘mately 90° apart. around the circumference of the wire. The average of these two readings shall be taken as the diameter of the specimen with the third decimal place. if required, EXPLANATORY NOTES.
