31、l consist of a smooth continu-ous layer, firmly adherent to the surface of the copper. The wireshall be bright and free from all imperfections not consistentwith the best commercial practice.6. Conformance Criteria (Explanatory Note 5)6.1 Any lot of wire, the samples of which comply with theconforma

32、nce criteria of this section, shall be considered ascomplying with the requirements of Section 5. Individualproduction units that fail to meet one or more of the require-ments shall be rejected. Failure of a sample group from a lot tomeet one or more of the following criteria shall constitutecause f

33、or rejection of the lot. The conformance criteria for eachof the prescribed properties given in Section 5 are as follows:6.1.1 ElongationThe lot shall be considered conforming ifthe elongation of each of the selected specimens is not less thanthe elongation value in Table 1.6.2 ResistivityThe electr

34、ical resistivity of each of the fourspecimens shall conform to the requirements of 5.2. Failure tomeet these requirements shall constitute failure to meet theresistivity conformance criterion.6.3 DimensionsThe dimensions of the first sample (Table2) shall conform to the requirements of 5.3. If there

35、 are nofailures, the lot conforms to this requirement. If there arefailures, but the number of these do not exceed the allowabledefect number, c2(Table 2), for the respective number of unitsin the sample, a second sample equal to n2shall be taken andthe total defects of the n plus n2units shall not

36、exceed theallowable defect number, c2. Failure to meet this requirementshall constitute failure to meet the dimensional conformancecriterion.6.4 Continuity of CoatingThe continuity of the coating ofeach of the eight specimens shall conform to the requirementsof 5.4. Failure of more than two specimen

37、s shall constitutefailure to meet the continuity criterion. If not more than twospecimens fail to meet the continuity criteria, eight additionalspecimens from the lot shall be tested, all of which shallconform to the continuity criteria. However, any individualproduction unit, the specimen from whic

38、h failed to meet thecontinuity criteria, shall be rejected.6.5 Weight of CoatingThe weight of coating of each of thefour specimens shall conform to the requirements of 5.5.Failure of more than one specimen shall constitute failure tomeet the weight criteria. If only one specimen fails to meet thewei

39、ght criteria, four additional specimens from the lot shall betested, all of which shall conform to the weight criterion.However, any individual production unit, the specimen fromwhich failed the weight criteria, shall be rejected.6.6 PackagingConformance to the packaging require-ments specified by t

40、he purchaser shall be determined inaccordance with Table 3. The number of units in the sampleshowing nonconformance to the requirements shall not exceedthe allowable defect number, c,inTable 3. Failure to meet thisrequirement shall constitute failure to meet the packagingconformance criterion.7. Den

41、sity7.1 For the purpose of calculating weights, cross-sections,etc., the density of the copper shall be taken as 8.89 g/cm3(0.32117 lb/in.3) at 20C (Explanatory Note 6). The density ofsilver shall be taken as 10.5 g/cm3(0.1 mil) (0.37933 lb/in.3).8. Test Methods8.1 Tensile Strength and Elongation:8.

42、1.1 No test for tensile strength shall be required.8.1.2 The elongation of wire with a nominal diametergreater than 0.0808 in. (2.052 mm) shall be determined as thepermanent increase in length due to the breaking of the wire intension (see Explanatory Note 7). The elongation shall bemeasured between

43、 gage marks placed originally 10 in. (242mm) apart upon the test specimen and expressed in percent ofthe original length.8.1.3 The elongation of wire with a nominal diameter equalto or less than 0.0808 in. (2.053 mm) may be determined asdescribed above or by measurements made between the jaws ofthe

44、testing machine. When measurements are made betweenthe jaws, the zero length shall be the distance between the jawsat the start of the tension test and be as near 10 in. (254 mm)as practicable. The final length shall be the distance betweenthe jaws at the time of rupture. The fracture shall be betwe

45、engage marks or jaws of the testing machine, depending onmethod used, and not closer than 1 in. (25.4 mm) to either gagemark or jaw.8.2 ResistivityThe electrical resistivity of the materialshall be determined in accordance with Test Method B193TABLE 2 Sampling for Dimensional Measurements and Surfac

Each coil shallbe gaged at three places, one near each end and one near themiddle. From each spool approximately 12 ft (3.7 m) shall beunre

49、eled and the wire gaged in six places between the secondand twelfth foot from the end.
