For materials which are notreadily machinable, such as those containing graphite, a flatstrip may be used as a test specimen. In order to determine theresistivity with a precision of 2 %, each specimen shallconform to the fol

22、lowing:6.2.1 The diameter of a specimen (Fig. 2), or the thicknessand width of a strip specimen, shall be uniform within 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 b

23、y any scale which willgive an accuracy of 0.5 % in the length measured. In casepotential leads are used, the length shall 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, shal

24、l not be more than 0.5 % ofthe distance between the potential contacts. In the case of thespecimen holder for nonductile 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

25、 micrometer or other suitablemeans shall be used for measuring this length.8. Cross-Sectional Area Measurements8.1 In 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

26、 measurements shall be made to obtain the meancross section to within 0.5 %.8.2 In case the diameter of the cylinder 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.

27、3 When the density is unknown, it may be determined asfollows:8.3.1 For nonporous materials first weigh a sample of atleast 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 s

28、hallbe at room temperature to avoid errors due to convectioncurrents. For the accuracy required, no corrections are neces-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 bu

29、bblesfrom a specimen of fine wire, dip the wire, in the form of aloosely wound coil, in alcohol and rinse in water beforeimmersing 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 =

30、 weight of specimen in water, gThe cross-sectional area, A, in square centimeters, may befound from the equation:A 5 B 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.

Afterremoving excess oil from the specimen by means of a softcloth, weigh the specimen in air and then in water. Calculatethe density fr

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

34、be introduced intothe specimen with current leads amply large to minimizeheating of the specimen. Specimens with a resistance greaterthan 10 do not require potential leads, though they may beused, if desired.10. Resistance Measurements10.1 Resistance of specimens provided with potential leadsshall b

35、e measured with a Kelvin bridge, potentiometer, digitalohmmeter, or equivalent capable of measuring the resistancebetween the potential contacts with a limit of error within0.5 %. Specimens with a resistance of more than 1 may bemeasured with a limit of error within 0.5 % by means of asuitable Wheat

36、stone bridge.11. Heating of Specimen11.1 In all resistance measurements, the measuring currentraises the temperature 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 gi

37、ve the sensitivity necessary tomeasure to 0.5 % of the resistance shall be used. A convenienttest to determine whether 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. I

38、f this change is as large as0.5 % of the measured value, a correction should be made. Fora material which has a positive temperature coefficient ofresistance, the resistance at the temperature of the surroundingmedium shall be obtained by subtracting the measured changefrom the resistance as measure

39、d with the smaller current. ForB63 07 (2013)3material with a negative temperature coefficient, this differenceshall be added 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 nearl
