45、tors aredesignated. Requirements for rope-lay-stranded conductors constructedwith bunch-stranded members will be found in Specification B 172.NOTE 2For definitions of terms relating to conductors, referenceshould be made to ANSI C42.35 and Terminology B 354.NOTE 3Wires removed from stranded conducto

46、rs and straightened fortests will have altered physical properties due to cold working of thematerial. The reduced elongation requirement for wires removed fromstranded conductors reflects this condition.NOTE 4The density of copper is in accordance with the InternationalAnnealed Copper Standard. The

47、 corresponding value at 0C is 8.90 g/cm3(0.32150 lb/in.3. Density calculations involving coated wire shouldconsider the variation of coated wire density from the density of uncoatedcopper wire.
