1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers tinned hard-drawn and medium-hard-drawn round copper wire for electrical purposes.
1.2 The SI values of resistance and density are to be regarded as standard. For all other properties, values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are provided for information purposes only.
1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test method described in this specification. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For hazard statement, see Sections 9 and 12.
