ASTM B800:05(R2021) pdf free download – Standard Specification for 8000 Series Aluminum Alloy Wire for Electrical Purposes- Annealed and Intermediate Tempers.
12.1 .1 If any part of the fracture takes place in the jaws of the tension testing machine, or if an examination of the specimen indicates that there was external damage, the value obtained may not he representative of the material. In such cases discard the test and make a new test.
12.2 Resistii’it —Determine the electrical resistivity of the material in accordance with Test Method B 193. (Explanatory Note 3.)
12.3 Diameter Measurements—Measure the diameter with a micrometer caliper graduated in 0.000 1 in. (0.003 mm). Make measurements on each specimen selected for this test. Measure the diameter of the wire at two points, spaced approximately 900 apart. around the circumference of the specimen. Take the average of the two readings as the mean diameter of the specimen.
12.4 Finish—Make a surface-finish inspection with the unaided eye (normal corrective lenses excepted).
13. Inspection
13.1 Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the manufacturer shall be responsible for the performance of all inspection and test requirements specified.
13.2 All inspections and tests shall be made at the place of manufacture unless otherwise especially agreed to between the manufacturer and the purchaser at the time of the purchase.
13.3 The manufacturer shall afford the inspector representing the purchaser all reasonable manufacturer’s facilities to satisfy him that the material is being furnished in accordance with this specification.
1 3.4 Description of Inspection Ternis:
13.4.1 Lot—An inspection lot shall consist of an identifiable quantity of wire subjected to inspection at one time. Each lot shall consist of units of wire of the same size and temper. manufactured under essentially the same conditions at essentially the same time. The amount in any case is not to exceed 30 000 lbs. (14 000 kg). (See Explanatory Note 5.)
13.4.2 Sample—A sample is a quantity of production units (reels, coils, spools) selected at random from the lot for the purpose of determining that the lot meets the requirements of this specification.
13.4.3 Specinien—A specimen is a length of wire removed for test purposes from any individual production unit of the sample.
14. Packaging and Package Marking
14.1 Package sizes and types shall he agreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser in the placing of individual orders.
14.2 Unless otherwise specified, the wire shall be supplied in one continuous length on each reel, coil, or spool.
14.3 The wire shall be protected against damage in ordinary handling and shipping.
14.4 Each package shall bear a tag showing the manufacturer’s name or trademark, alloy, temper, size, and mass of material.
