In order to determine theresistivity with a precision of 2 %, each specimen shallconform to the following:6.2.1 The diameter of a specimen (Fig. 2), or the thicknessand width of a strip specimen, shall be uniform wit

22、hin 1 %.6.2.2 It shall show no surface cracks or other defectsobservable with normal vision, and shall be free from surfaceoxide.7. Length Measurements7.1 The length may be measured by any scale which willgive an accuracy of 0.5 % in the length measured. In casepotential leads are used, the length s

23、hall be taken between thepotential contacts. In the direction of the length of specimen,the dimension of each potential contact, including solderingsurface or clamp contact area, shall not be more than 0.5 % ofthe distance between the potential contacts. In the case of thespecimen holder for nonduct

24、ile materials shown in Fig. 1, thedistance between the potential contacts may be found bymeasuring from the outside flat of one potential knife edge tothe outside flat of the other. A micrometer or other suitablemeans shall be used for measuring this length.8. Cross-Sectional Area Measurements8.1 In

25、 general, the diameter of a specimen of circular crosssection, or the thickness and width of a strip specimen, shall bedetermined by micrometer measurements, and a sufficientnumber of measurements shall be made to obtain the meancross section to within 0.5 %.8.2 In case the diameter of the cylinder

26、or the thickness ofthe strip cannot be measured to give the above accuracy withthe micrometer available, determine the cross section from theweight, density, and length of specimen.8.3 When the density is unknown, it may be determined asfollows:8.3.1 For nonporous materials first weigh a sample of a

27、tleast 10 g in air and then in water. The density in grams percubic centimetre is equivalent to the weight in air divided bythe loss of weight due to submergence in water. The water shallbe at room temperature to avoid errors due to convectioncurrents. For the accuracy required, no corrections are n

28、eces-sary for the temperature of the water or for the buoyancy of theair. However, exercise care to remove all air bubbles from thespecimen when weighing it in water. To remove air bubblesfrom a specimen of fine wire, dip the wire, in the form of aloosely wound coil, in alcohol and rinse in water be

29、foreimmersing it in the water to be used in weighing. Thencalculate the density from the following equation:D 5 B/B 2 E! (3)where:D = density, g/cm3B = weight of specimen in air, gE = weight of specimen in water, gThe cross-sectional area, A, in square centimeters, may befound from the equation:A 5B

30、 2 E!/L (4)8.3.2 For porous materials such as products of powdermetallurgy, weigh a specimen of at least 10 g in air. Immersethe specimen for at least4hinoil(viscosity of approximately200 SUS at 37.8C (100F), held at a temperature of 82.2 65.5C (180 6 10F). Then cool the specimen to room tem-peratur

31、e by immersing it in oil at room temperature. Afterremoving excess oil from the specimen by means of a softcloth, weigh the specimen in air and then in water. Calculatethe density from the equation:D 5 B/C 2 E! (5)where:D = density, g/cm3B = weight of the unimpregnated specimen in air, gC = weight o

32、f the specimen impregnated with oil (in air),gE = weight of the impregnated specimen in water, gThe cross-sectional area, A, in square centimetres, may befound from the equation:A 5C 2 E!/L (6)9. Leads9.1 Specimens with a resistance of less than 10 V shall beprovided with both current and potential

33、leads. The minimumdistance between each potential contact and the adjacentcurrent lead shall be at least three times the diameter of thewire or the width of the strip. Current shall be introduced intothe specimen with current leads amply large to minimizeheating of the specimen. Specimens with a res

34、istance greaterthan 10 V do not require potential leads, though they may beused, if desired.10. Resistance Measurements10.1 Resistance of specimens provided with potential leadsshall be measured with a Kelvin bridge, potentiometer, digitalohmmeter, or equivalent capable of measuring the resistancebe

35、tween the potential contacts with a limit of error within0.5 %. Specimens with a resistance of more than 1 V may bemeasured with a limit of error within 0.5 % by means of asuitable Wheatstone bridge.11. Heating of Specimen11.1 In all resistance measurements, the measuring currentraises the temperatu

36、re of the specimen above that of thesurrounding medium. If this is sufficient to change the resis-tance by 0.5 %, a correction shall be made. In general, thesmallest current that will give the sensitivity necessary tomeasure to 0.5 % of the resistance shall be used. A convenienttest to determine whe

37、ther a correction should be applied is toincrease the current to 1.4 times the value it had when themeasurement was made (Note 2) and then to measure theresulting change in resistance. If this change is as large as0.5 % of the measured value, a correction should be made. Fora material which has a po

38、sitive temperature coefficient ofresistance, the resistance at the temperature of the surroundingmedium shall be obtained by subtracting the measured changefrom the resistance as measured with the smaller current. ForB63073material with a negative temperature coefficient, this differenceshall be add

39、ed to the resistance obtained by measurements withthe smaller current.NOTE 2Increasing the current to 1.4 times the value it had when themeasurement was made serves to very nearly double the heating effect,and, for small changes in temperature, the rise in temperature.11.2 Measurements are to be in
