29、actice.6. Test Methods6.1 ElongationThe elongation of wire whose nominaldiameter is larger than 0.0808 in. (2.052 mm) shall bedetermined as the permanent increase in length at fracture,expressed as a percentage of the original length, due to thebreaking of the wire in tension, measured between gage

30、marksplaced originally 10 in. (254 mm) apart on the test specimen(Explanatory Note 4). The elongation of wire whose nominaldiameter is 0.0808 in. (2.052 mm) and under may be deter-mined as just described or by measurements made between thejaws of the testing machine. Where the latter method is used,

31、the zero length shall be the distance between the jaws at thestart of the tension test and be as near 10 in. (254 mm) aspracticable; the final length shall be the distance between thejaws at the time of rupture. The fracture shall be between gagemarks in the case of specimens so marked, or between t

32、he jawsof the testing machine and not closer than 1 in. (25.4 mm) toeither gage mark or either jaw.6.2 ResistivityThe electrical resistivity of the materialshall be determined in accordance with Test Method B 193(Explanatory Note 5).6.3 Dimensional MeasurementsDimensional measure-ments shall be made

33、 with a micrometer caliper equipped witha vernier graduated in 0.0001 in. Each coil shall be gaged atthree places, one near each end and one near the middle. Fromeach spool approximately 12 ft (3.7 m) shall be unreeled andthe wire gaged in six places between the second and twelfthfoot from the end.

34、The average of the measurements obtainedshall meet the requirements of 5.3.6.4 Continuity of Coating:6.4.1 Length of SpecimensTest specimens shall each havea length of about 6 in. (152 mm). They shall be tagged ormarked to correspond with the coil, spool, or reel from whichthey were cut.6.4.2 Treatm

35、ent of SpecimensThe specimens shall bethoroughly cleaned by immersion in a suitable organic solventfor at least 3 min, then removed and wiped dry with a clean,soft cloth or tissue (Precaution: Explanatory Note 6). Thespecimens thus cleaned shall be kept wrapped in a clean, drycloth or tissue until t

36、ested. That part of the specimen to beimmersed in the test solution shall not be handled. Care shallbe taken to avoid abrasion by the cut ends.6.4.3 Special Solution (sp gr 1.142)A concentrated solu-tion shall be made by dissolving sodium sulfide crystals (cp) indistilled water until the solution is

37、 saturated at about 21C, andadding sufficient flowers of sulfur (in excess of 250 g/L ofsolution) to provide complete saturation, as shown by thepresence in the solution of an excess of sulfur after the solutionhas been allowed to stand for at least 24 h. The test solutionshall be made by diluting a

38、 portion of the concentrated solutionwith distilled water to a specific gravity of 1.135 to 1.145 atambient temperature of 15.6 C. The sodium polysulfide testsolution should have sufficient strength to thoroughly blackena piece of clean uncoated copper wire in 5 s. A portion of thetest solution used

39、 for testing samples shall not be considered tobe exhausted until it fails to blacken a piece of clean copper asdescribed above (Explanatory Note 7).6.4.4 ProcedureImmerse a length of at least 412 in. (114mm) from each of the clean specimens for 30 s in the sodiumpolysulfide solution (see 6.4.3) mai

40、ntained at a temperaturebetween 15.6 and 21C. After the immersion, immediatelywash the specimens in clean water and wipe dry with a clean,soft cloth or tissue. After immersion and washing, examine thespecimens to ascertain if copper exposed through openings inthe nickel coating has been blackened by

41、 action of the sodiumpolysulfide. Examine the specimen with the normal eye againsta white background. Consider the specimens to have failed if,by such blackening, exposed copper is revealed. No attentionshall be paid to blackening within 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) of the cutend.6.5 Adherence of Coating:6.5.1

42、 SpecimensTest specimens shall be approximately 12in. (305 mm) in length and shall be tagged or marked tocorrespond with the coil, spool, or reel from which they are cut.The specimens shall be thoroughly cleaned, if required, byimmersion in a suitable organic solvent for at least 3 min, thenremoved

43、and dried (Precaution: Explanatory Note 6). Thespecimens thus cleaned shall be kept wrapped in a clean, drycloth until tested. That part of the specimen to be immersed inthe test solution shall not be handled. Care shall be taken toavoid abrasion of the surface to be subjected to test. Wire sizes0.0

44、05 in. (0.127 mm) and smaller may be cleaned afterwrapping.6.5.2 Procedure:6.5.2.1 WrappingSlowly wrap the test specimen in asuitable manner in an open helix around a wire of its owndiameter. Take care not to stretch the specimen during thewrapping operation. The spacing of the consecutive turns sha

45、llbe approximately equal to the diameter of the wire. For wiresizes 0.021 in. (0.533 mm) and smaller, use approximately sixhelical turns for the test. For wire larger than 0.021 in. (0.533mm) use approximately three turns.6.5.2.2 Immersion TestRemove the helically wrappedportion of the test specimen

46、 from the mandrel and completelyimmerse in the sodium polysulfide solution (see 6.4.3) for 30 sat the temperature prescribed in 6.4.4. On removal from thesodium polysulfide solution, rinse the specimen immediately inclean water and remove the excess by shaking.6.5.2.3 Examination of SpecimensExamine

47、 the outer sur-face of the helically wrapped portion of the specimen undermagnification not to exceed 73 diameter. Any cracking orflaking of the coating in this area shown by blackening of thecopper area shall be cause for rejection. A grayish appearanceof the coating after immersion shall not const

48、itute failure.6.6 Weight of CoatingConformance to the weight require-ment may be determined in accordance with Test Method A. InB355063case of disagreement, Test Method B shall be used and theresult obtained shall be final. Test Methods A and B are givenin Appendix X1.6.7 FinishSurface-finish inspec

49、tion shall be made withthe unaided eye (normal spectacles excepted).7. Conformance Criteria (Explanatory Note 6)7.1 Any lot of wire, the samples of which comply with theconformance 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 for rejection of the lot. The conformance criteria for eachof the pres
