For purposes of this specification, the tin shall beconsidered“ commercially pure” if the total of other elem

Notwithstanding theprevious sentence, chemical analysis of the tin coating or of thetin used for coating shall not be required under this specifica-tion.Adequacy of the tin coating is assured by the continuity ofcoating and adherence of coating requirem

The quality of the tin-coated wire shall be such that thefinished product meets the properties and requirements in thisspecification.NOTE 1It is necessary that the coating of the tin on the wire becontinuous. The test in the sodium polysulfide is for the purpose ofdetermining

13、whether or not the wire carries a continuous envelope of puretin. The thickness of the tin coating is necessarily varied. Under the sameconditions of tinning, the coating on all sizes of wire, excepting on finewire, is approximately the same. The coating on fine wire is in general1This specification

It is not, therefore, correct toapply a larger number

17、of cycles in the test on coarse wire than is appliedto fine wire. It is probable that one cycle of the dip test would be sufficientto discover defects in tinned wire, but in order to make certain that nopartially covered spots may escape attention, provision has been made fortwo cycles. It has been

18、found that the tin coating on copper wire consistsof two parts, an envelope of pure tin on the outside, with an intermediatelayer of copper-tin alloy. This tin alloy, as well as the amount of tinpresent, has an effect on the resistivity of the wire. Since the relativeamount of tin coating and alloy

19、is greater on the small wire than it is onthe coarser wire, the resistivity of the wire increases as the size decreases.This also accounts for the decrease in elongation due to tinning soft wire.5. General Requirements5.1 Tensile strength and elongation of the tin-coated wireshall conform to the req

20、uirements of Specification B 452 forthe applicable size and class of copper-clad steel wire.5.2 ResistivityThe electrical resistivity at a temperature of20C shall not exceed the values prescribed in Table 2. SeeNote 2 for calculating electrical resistance.NOTE 2Relationships that may be useful in co

21、nnection with thevalues of electrical resistivity prescribed in this specification are shown inTable 3. Resistivity units158 V mm2/m and 0.15328 V g/m2at 20C arerespectively the international equivalent of volume and weight resistivityof annealed copper equal to 100 % conductivity. The latter term m

22、eansthat a copper wire1minlength and weighing 1 g would have a resistanceof 0.15328 V. This is equivalent to a resistivity value of 875.20Vlb/mile2, which signifies the resistance of a copper wire 1 mile in lengthweighing 1 lb. It is also equivalent, for example, to 1.7241 V/cm oflength of a copper

23、bar 1 cm2in cross section.Acomplete discussion of thissubject is contained in NBS Handbook 100. The use of five significantfigures in expressing resistivity does not imply the need for greateraccuracy of measurement than that specified in Test Method B 193. Theuse of five significant figures is requ

24、ired for complete reversible conver-sion from one set of resistivity units to another.5.3 Dimensions and Permissible VariationsThe wire sizesshall be expressed as the diameter of the wire in decimalfractions of an inch to the nearest 0.0001 in. (0.003 mm) (Note3). For diameters under 0.0100 in. (0.2

25、54 mm), the wire shallnot vary from the specified diameter by more than plus 0.0003in. (0.008 mm) and minus 0.0001 in. (0.003 mm) and fordiameters of 0.0100 in. (0.254 mm) and over, the wire shall notvary from the specified diameter by more than plus 3 % andminus 1 %, expressed to the nearest 0.0001

26、 in. (0.003 mm).NOTE 3The values of the wire diameters in Table 1 are given to thenearest 0.0001 in. (0.003 mm) and correspond to the standard sizes givenin Specification B 258. The use of gage numbers to specify wire sizes isnot recognized in this specification because of the possibility of confusi

The continuity of coating on the wire shall bedetermined on representative samples taken before stranding orinsulating. Th

28、e continuity of tinning shall be determined by thehydrochloric acid-sodium polysulfide test in accordance with6.2.5.5 Adherence of CoatingThe tin coating shall be firmlyadherent to the surface of the copper-clad steel wire. Theadherence of coating on the wire shall be determined onrepresentative sam

29、ples taken before stranding or insulating.The adherence of coating shall be determined by the wrappingand immersion test in accordance with 6.3.5.6 JointsNecessary joints in the wire and rods prior tofinal coating and drawing shall be made in accordance withgood commercial practice. Joints made afte

30、r coating shall notbe allowed to remain in the final product.5.7 FinishThe coating shall 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 good commercial practice.6. Test Methods6.1 For te

(150 mm). They

37、 shall be tagged ormarked to correspond with the coil, spool, or reel from whichthey were cut.6.2.1.2 Treatment of SpecimensThe specimens shall bethoroughly cleaned by immersion in a suitable organic solventsuch as benzene, ether, or trichloroethylene for at least 3 min,then removed and wiped dry wi

38、th a clean, soft cloth.(WarningSee 1.4.) The specimens thus cleaned shall be keptwrapped in a clean, dry cloth until tested. That part of thespecimen to be immersed in the test solution shall not behandled. Care shall be taken to avoid abrasion by the cut ends.6.2.2 Special Solutions:6.2.2.1 Hydroch

39、loric Acid Solution (sp gr 1.088)Commercial HCl (sp gr 1.12) shall be diluted with distilledwater to a specific gravity of 1.088 measured at 15.6C (60F).A portion of HCl solution having a volume of 180 mL shall beconsidered to be exhausted when the number of test specimensprescribed in Table 4 of a

40、size as indicated in 6.2.3 have beenimmersed in it for two cycles.6.2.2.2 Sodium Polysulfide Solution (sp gr 1.142) (Note4)A concentrated solution shall be made by dissolvingsodium sulfide cp crystals in distilled water until the solution issaturated at about 21C (70F), and adding sufficient flowers

41、 ofsulfur (in excess of 250 g/L of solution) to provide completesaturation, as shown by the presence in the solution of anexcess of sulfur after the solution has been allowed to stand forat least 24 h. The test solution shall be made by diluting aportion of the concentrated solution with distilled w

42、ater to aspecific gravity of 1.142 at 15.6C (60F). The sodium polysul-fide test solution should have sufficient strength to blackenthoroughly a piece of clean untinned copper wire in 5 s. Aportion of the test solution used for testing samples shall not beconsidered to be exhausted until it fails to

43、blacken a piece ofclean copper as described above.NOTE 4It is important that the polysulfide solution be of propercomposition and strength at the time of test. A solution which is notsaturated with sulfur or which has been made from decomposed sodiumsulfide crystals may give a false indication of fa

44、ilure. Therefore, therequirement that the solution be tested by observing its blackening effecton a bright copper wire is significant. Significant also is the requirementthat the solution be saturated with sulfur by allowing the solution to standat least 24 h after preparation. Attention is called a

45、lso to the necessity forthe use of sodium sulfide which has not deteriorated through exposure toair; and if exposure has occurred, the crystals should be tested for purity.The “Standard Reagents Tests” of the American Chemical Society areuseful in this connection.6.2.3 Procedure:6.2.3.1 Immersion of

46、 SpecimensImmerse a length of atleast 412 in. (115 mm) from each of the clean specimens, inaccordance with the following cycles, in test solutions main-tained at a temperature between 15.6 and 21C (60 and 70F):(1) immerse the specimen for 1 min in the HCl solutiondescribed in 6.2.2, wash, and wipe d

47、ry; (2) immerse thespecimen for 30 s in the sodium polysulfide solution describedin 6.2.2, wash, and wipe dry; (3) immerse the specimen for 1min in the HCl solution, wash, and wipe dry; (4) immerse thespecimen for 30 s in the sodium polysulfide solution, wash, andwipe dry.6.2.3.2 Washing SpecimensAf

48、ter each immersion, imme-diately wash the specimens thoroughly in clean water and wipedry with a clean, soft cloth.6.2.3.3 Examination of SpecimensAfter immersion andwashing, examine the specimens with the unaided eye (normalspectacles excepted) to ascertain if copper exposed throughopenings in the

49、tin coating has been blackened by action of thesodium polysulfide. The specimens shall be considered to haveTABLE 3 Equivalent Resistivity ValuesClass and Size, in.
