In applying that test method the increment in mass per unit Iength resulting from stranding may be the applicable value specified in 12.1 of may be calculated from the measured component dimensions of the sample under test. In case of question regarding area compliance, the actual mass per unit length increment due to stranding shall be calculated. 14, Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance 14.1 The conductor shall be clean and free of imperfections ‘ot consistent with good commercial practice. 15, Mechanical and Electrical Tests 15.1 Tests for mechanical and electrical properties of alu- sminum wires shall be made before stranding (Explanatory Note ?. 15.2. All aluminum wires composing the conductors shall be capable of meeting the bending properties stated in Spe tion B230/B230M after stranding. 15.3 Routine production testing after stranding is not re- quited. However, when such tests are requested by the pur- chaser and agreed to by the manufacturer atthe time of placing the order (or made for other reasons) aluminum wires removed from the completed conductor shall have tensile strengths of not less than 95 % of the minimum tensile strength specified for the wire before stranding. The electrical resistivity shall meet the minimum resistivity specified for the wite before stranding. Elongation tests may be made for information purposes only and no minimum values are assigned (Explana- tory Note 7). The frequency of these tests shall be agreed upon between the purchaser and the manufacturer. 15.4 Tests for demonstration of rated strength of the com- pleted conductor are not required by this specification but may bbe made if agreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser atthe time of placing an order. I'tested, the breaking strength of the completed conductor shall be not less than the rated strength if failure occurs in the free length at least 1 in. [25 mm} beyond the end of either gripping device, or shall be not less than 95 % of the rated strength if failure occurs inside, ‘or within 1 in. [25 mm] of the end of, either gripping device (Explanatory Note 8). 15,5 Tests forall properties of zinc-coated, or Zn-SAI-MM ccoated steel wires shall be made before stranding (Explanatory Note 7). 16. Inspection 16.1 Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the manufacturer shall be responsible for the perfor- ‘mance of all inspection and test requirements specified 16.2 All inspections and tests shall be made at the place of ‘manufacture unless otherwise especially agreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser atthe time of the purchase, 16.3 The manufacturer shall afford the inspector represent ing the purchaser all reasonable access to manufacturer's facilities to satisfy him that the material is being furnished in accordance with this specification, 17, Packaging and Package Marking 17.1 Package sizes and kind of package, reels or coils shall, bbe agreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser at the time of placing the order. Recommended package sizes are shown in Table 7 or Table 8 (Explanatory Note 9). 17.2 There shall be only one length of conductor on a reel. (See Table 9.) 17.3 The conductors shall be protected against damage in ‘ordinary handling and shipping. If heavy wood lagging is required, it shall be specified by the purchaser at the time of placing the purchase order,fy 823218232M - 17 ‘TABLE 4 Rated Strength—Aluminum Conductor, Stee!

[Nore I—In this specication only concentrc-lay-strnded aluminum conductor, steelneinforced, are specifically designated. Conductor con structions not included in this specification should be agreed. upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser when placing the order. Nore 2—For definitions of terms relating to conductors, refer to ‘Terminology B3S4 Nort 3—The behavior of properly spaced wire joints in stranded ‘conductor is related to both thei tensile strength and elongation. Because ‘of its higher elongation properties, the lower-strength electric-batt weld ves equivalent overall performance to that ofa cold-pressure weld or an clectric-but, cold-upset Weld in stranded condactors Nore 4—The preferred ratio of the lay with respect to the outside iameter of a layer of wires varies for diferent layers and for diferent Siameters of the conductors, being large for the inside layers than fr the outside layer and large for conductors of smal diameter than for those of| large diameter ‘Nors $—This density is based upon aluminum of 99.50 % purity. The inch-pound density ofthe aluminum wites i used for mass per unit length calculations and is based upon the standard SI density withthe conversion ‘rounded 19 the nearest 0.0005 Ibvin.* ‘Nore 6-—The increment of mass or electrical resistance of completed concentic-lay-strinded conductor (&) in percent is k= 100(m~ 1) where m is the stranding factor, and also the ratio of the mass or electrical resistance of a unit length of stranded conductor to that ofa solid ‘conductor of the same cross-sectional area or ofa stranded conductor with infinite length of lay, chat is, all wires parallel to the conductor axis. The stranding factor m for the completed stranded conductor isthe numerical ‘average of the stranding factors foreach of the individual wires in the Conductor, including the straight core wire, if any (for which the stranding factor is unity). The stranding Factor (gg) for any given wire in a concentri-lay-strnded conductor is 16 V+ (9.869600 where n = length of lay ‘ameter of helical path of the wire ‘The derivation of the above is given in NBS Handbook, 100 Copper Wire Tables. ‘The factors and on are to be determined separately fr the zine-oated ‘ot Za-SALMM coated stel (Section 8). [Note 7—Wires unlaid from conductors may have diferent physical properties from those of the wire pri to stnding because of the {deformation caused by stranding and stsightening for test.

Note 8~To test ACSR conductors for breaking strength successfully as ‘unit requires special devices for gripping the ends ofthe aluminum and steel wires without causing damage that may’ result in faire below the sctual strength of the conductor. Various special dead-end devices are availabe such as compression sleeves, split sleves, and preformed grips, but ordinary jaws or clamping devices usually are not suitable [Nott 9—For the convenience ofthe users ofthis speciation, Tables 7 and § have been prepared giving recommended shipping length forthe standard sizes of ACSR refered to in Tables | and 2 respectively. Values ‘of net mass in this uble are rounded tothe nearest ten pound increment Because of the variations in coil masses etc, it is eommon practice to allow a permissible variation in length of +5 % for sizes larger than No. AWG [40 mm*] and a tolerance of =10'% on sizes No. 1 AWG [40 ‘mm?) and smaller. tis also common practice to allow an amount not exceeding 10% ofthe total mass of any one order to be shipped in random lengths with no piece shore than 50 % of the standard fength onlered.fy 8232/8232M - 17 ASTM Intemational tekss no poston respecting the val f ary patent ight asserted in connection with ay lem mentored ints standard Usre of is standard are expresh adised that determination of the aki of any such patent igh, andthe rs ‘of iningement of such igs, are ently ta own responsi ‘This standards subject to ovsion a any tne by the response tactical committee and must be revowed evens yeas and itnotreised. ithe resporoved or ican, Your oments ae ited ater for revision of hs standard or for ackitona standards lad shouldbe addresaed to ASTM itaatona Headquarter.
