ASTM B279-04

Withdrawn Rationale:

This test method, known as the low-stress elongation (LSE) test, covers the procedure for determining the stiffness of bare soft square and rectangular copper and aluminum wire in terms of the permanent elongation resulting from the application of a tensile stress.

Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee B01 on Electrical Conductors and Subcommittee B01.02 on Methods of Test and Sampling Procedure, this test method was withdrawn without replacement in January 2013. This standard is being withdrawn without replacement due to its limited use by industry.

1.1 This test method, known as the low-stress elongation (LSE) test, covers the procedure for determining the stiffness of bare soft square and rectangular copper and aluminum wire in terms of the permanent elongation resulting from the application of a tensile stress.

1.2 The SI values for the mass of the specimen are regarded as the standard. For all other properties, the inch-pound values are to be regarded as standard and the SI units may be approximate.

2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
