Anotace textu normy ASTM B173-17(2024) :

This specification covers bare rope-lay-stranded conductors having concentric-stranded members made from round copper wires, either uncoated or coated with tin, lead, or lead-alloy for use as electrical conductors. Coated wires shall include only those wires with finished diameters and densities substantially equal to the respective diameters and densities of uncoated wires. The rope-lay-stranded copper conductors under this specification are classified either as Class G or Class H. Requirements for joint construction (by soldering, brazing, or welding), lay length, and strand construction are detailed. Tests for the electrical properties of wires composing conductors made from soft or annealed copper wire, bare or coated, shall be made before stranding, while tests for the physical properties (such as elongation) may be made upon the wires before stranding or upon wires removed from the completed stranded conductors, but need not be made upon both. Elongation tests to determine compliance shall not be made on the conductor as a unit. If a tinning, lead-coating, or lead-alloy-coating test is required, it shall be made on the wires prior to stranding. The method of calculating mass, cross-sections and electrical resistance, and the prescribed density of copper to be taken for calculations are given.
