Standard Test Methods for Evaluating Connectability Characteristics of Electrical Conductor Materials

Importancia y uso:

5.1 These test methods develop comparative information useful for the design of stationary contacts for wire, cable, and other conductors.

5.2 These test methods produce results, which are free of the influence of arbitrary connection systems.

5.3 The influence of conductor surface pretreatments and platings can be evaluated by these test methods.

5.4 The influence of environmental factors, such as high temperature and corrosive environment can be evaluated by these test methods.

5.5 The results obtained by these test methods provide guidance on connection system design parameters, such as contact force and gas tightness requirements.
