44、onduit shall meet all of the following requirements: a) A specimen of the zinc-coated strip tested before forming shall not show a bright, adherent deposit of copper on any surface, including edges, after two 60-second immersions in a solution of copper sulphate. b) A specimen of partially uncoiled

45、conduit from nished conduit: 1) Shall not show a bright, adherent deposit of copper after one 60-second immersion in a copper sulphate solution, and 2) Shall not show a bright, adherent deposit of copper on more than 25 percent of any surface, including edges, after two 60-second immersions in a cop

46、per sulphate solution. 10.2 The copper sulphate solution is to be made from distilled water and the American Chemical Society (ACS) reagent grade of cupric sulphate (CuSO 4 ). In a copper container or in a glass, polyethylene, or other chemically nonreactive container in which a bright piece of copp

47、er is present, a quantity of the cupric sulphate is to be dissolved in hot distilled water to obtain a solution that has a specic gravity slightly higher than 1.186 after the solution is cooled to a temperature of 18.3C (65.0F). Any free acid that might be present is to be neutralized by the additio

48、n of approximately 1 gram of cupric oxide (CuO) or 1 gram of cupric hydroxide Cu(OH) 2 per liter of solution. The solution is to be diluted with distilled water to obtain a specic gravity of exactly 1.186 at a temperature of 18.3C (65.0F). The solution is then to be ltered. 10.3 At one end of a samp

49、le length of nished steel conduit, the conduit is to be unwound from the outside to expose both edges and the inner surface of the formed strip and to facilitate working cheesecloth between the turns onto the inner surface to dry that surface during the test. To reduce the damage to the zinc coating, the strip is not to be straightened as it is unwound but is to remain in the helical form with a diameter no larger
