5.0 STRESS-STRAIN TEST SURFACE CONDITION TEST

5.1 This test is contemplated to collect the creep data of the conductor from the
Bidder. A sample of conductor of minimum 10 meters length shall be suitably
compressed with dead end clamps.

5.2 Test Set - Up

5.2.1 The test sample shall be supported in a through over its full length and the
through shall be adjusted such that the conductor does not get lifted by more
than 10mm under tension. This shall be ascertained by actual measurement.

5.2.2 The distance between the clamp and the sleeve mouth shall be monitored with
calipers during the test to ensure that after the test, it does change by more than
+/- 0.1 mm from the value before the test.

5.2.3 The conductor strain shall be evaluated from the measured displacements at the
two ends of the gauge length of the sample. The gauge reference targets shall
be attached to the clamps which lock the steel and aluminium wires together.
Target plates may be used with dial gauges on displacement transducers and
care shall be taken to position the plates perpendicular to the conductor.
Twisting the conductor, lifting it and moving it from side-to-side by the
maximum amounts expected during the test should introduce no more than 0.3
mm error in the reading.

5.3 Test Loads for Complete Conductor

5.3.1 The loading conditions for repeated stress-strain tests for complete conductor
shall be as follows:

5.3.1.1 1 KN load shall be applied initially to straighten the conductor. The load shall
be removed after straightening and then strain gauges are to be set at zero at
the zero tension.

5.3.2 For non-continuous stress-strain data, the strain readings at 1 KN intervals at


lower tension and 5 KN intervals above 30% of UTS shall be recorded.

5.3.3 The sample shall be reloaded to 50% of UTS and held for 1 hour. Readings are
to be noted after 5, 10, 15, 30, 45 and 60 Minutes. The load shall then be
released.

to be noted after 5,10,15,30,45 and 60 minutes and then load shall be released.

5.3.5 Reloading up to 85% of UTS shall be done and held for 1 hour. Readings are
to be noted after 5,10,15,30,45 and 60 minutes and then load shall be released.

5.3.6 Tension shall be applied again and shall be increased uniformly until the actual
breaking strength is reached. Simultaneous readings of tension and elongation
shall be recorded up to 90% of UTS at the intervals described under Clause
6.3.5.

5.4 Test Loads For Steel Core Only

The loading conditions for repeated stress-strain tests for the steel core of
ACSR shall be a follows :

5.4.2 The test shall consist of successive application of load applied in a


manner similar to that for one complete conductor at 30%, 50%, 70%
and 85% of UTS.

5.4.3 The steel core shall be loaded until the elongation at the beginning of
each hold period corresponds to that obtained on the complete conductor
at 30%, 50%, 70% and 85% of UTS respectively.

5.5 Stress Strain Curves

The design stress-strain curve shall be obtained by drawing a smooth curve


through the 0.5 and 1 hour points at 30%, 50% and 70% of UTS loading.
The presence of any aluminium slack that can be related to any observed
extrusion entering the span from the compression dead ends shall be
removed from the lower ends of the design curves. Both the laboratory and
design stress-strain curves shall be submitted to the purchaser along with
test results. The stress-strain data obtained during the test shall be corrected
to the standard temperature i.e. 20 deg. C.
