44、ration, of specimen selection and conditioning, and of measurement and calculation that are required in wire and cable standards. 1.2 The requirements for the particular materials, construction, performance, and marking of an individual type of wire, cable, or exible cord are stated in the standard

45、covering the nished type. They are not part of this reference standard. 1.3 In each case in which an element of this standard does not apply, the standard covering the nished type so states and species what does apply. 2 Units of Measurement 2.1 In addition to being stated in the inch/pound units th

46、at are customary in the USA, each numerical requirement in this standard is also stated in units that make the requirement conveniently usable in countries employing the metric system. Equivalent although not exactly identical results are to be expected from applying a requirement in inch/pound or m

47、etric units. Equipment calibrated in metric units is to be used when a requirement is stated in metric terms. 3 References and Terms 3.1 The term wire standard as used in this standard means any standard that covers nished electrical wires, cables, or exible cords and in which reference is made to t

48、his reference standard (UL 1581). 49 Reserved for Future Use CONDUCTORS 10 Requirements for Aluminum Conductors of an 8000 Series Alloy 10.1 These requirements cover aluminum wire in annealed and intermediate tempers using 8000 series electrical-conductor-grade aluminum alloys. These alloys are for

49、use in solid conductors in the64 / 0 AWG sizes and in round-strand and compressed- and compact-stranded conductors in the 12 AWG 2000 kcmil sizes. 10.2 The wire shall be of a registered 8000 series electrical-conductor-grade aluminum alloy complying with ASTM B 800-05. The conductor diameter and cross-sectional area shall comply with Conductor Diameter and Cross-Sectional A
