FOREWORD 0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 28 April 1965, after the draft finalized by the Conductors and Cables Sectional Committee had been approved by the Electrotechnical Division Council. 0.2 This standard has been formulated at the instance of Indian Posts and Telegraphs Department to cover suitable hard-drawn copper wire having the requisite electrical and physical properties for telegraph and telephone purposes. 0.3 These hard-drawn copper wires are covered by Telegraph Wires (Unlawful Possession) Act, No. LXXIV of 1950 with all amendments. 0.4 In preparing this standard, assistance has been derived from B. S. 174 : 1951 'Hard-drawn copper wire for telegraph and telephone purposes' and B. S. 125 : 1954 'Hard-drawn copper conductors for overhead power transmission purposes' issued by the British Standards Institution. 0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard. 1. SCOPE 1.1 This specification covers the requirements for hard-drawn solid circular copper conductors for telegraph and telephone purposes. *Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ). 3 IS : 2532 - 1965 2.

IS : 2532 - 1965 5. FREEDOM FROM DEFECTS 5.1 The wire shall be approximately circular in section and shall be clean, smooth and free from harmful effects, such as spills, splits, etc, but superficial tarnishing shall not be the cause for rejection. 5.2 Each piece shall be guaranteed to contain no weld, joint or splice whatever, other than in the rod before it is drawn. 6. TOLERANCES 6.1 The permitted tolerance on the diameter of the wire shall conform to the requirements given in Table 1. 7. WRAPPING AND MARKING OF COILS 7.1 Each piece of wire shall be coiled carefully and made up into a separate coil such that its inner diameter is not less than 53 cm and not more than 56 cm. The weight of each coil shall be between 34 and 64 kg. 7.2 Each coil shall be bound securely with four separate binders, each of two wrappings of annealed copper wire. In no case shall two or more coils be linked or otherwise joined together. 7.3 Marking — Each coil shall have an eyeletted label of non-corrosive metal sheet, with linen inside, securely attached to the inner part by means of soft copper wire. The label shall furnish the following information: a) a) c) d) 7.3.1 Maker's name, Year of manufacture, Coil number, and Weight of coil in kg. The coils may also be marked with the ISI Certification Mark. NOTE — The use of the ISI Certification Mark is governed by the provisions of the Indian Standards Institution ( Certification Marks ) Act and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. The ISI Mark on products covered by an Indian Standard conveys the assurance that they have been produced to comply with the requirements of that standard under a well-defined system of inspection, testing; and quality control which is devised and supervised by ISI and operated by the producer. ISI marked products are also continuously checked by ISI for conformity to that standard as a further safeguard. Details of conditions under which a licence for the use of the ISI Certification Mark may be granted to manufacturers or processors, may be obtained from the Indian Standards Institution. 7.3.2 Each coil labelled as above, shall be wrapped in and completely covered with two thicknesses of gunny (or any other approved material) 5 IS : 2532 - 1965 outside of which a duplicate label shall be attached before being packed for despatch. 8. SAMPLING AND CRITERIA FOR CONFORMITY 8.1 The number of pieces to be examined from each lot for freedom from defects (see 5) and for tolerance on sizes (see 6) and the corresponding criteria for conformity shall be as agreed to between the supplier and the purchaser. 8.2 From each lot, the number of coils as specified in Table 2 shall be selected at random. From each of the coils so selected, one test piece of the required or specified length for Wrapping test (see 9.1), tensile test (see 9.2) torsion test (see 9.3) and resistance test (see 10), shall be cut from the ends and subjected to those tests. The test pieces may also be cut from any part of the coil other than ends in one of the selected coils; the cut lengths of the coil shall not be welded or otherwise jointed together. Each cut length shall be wound up into a separate coil and accepted or rejected as mutually agreed upon at the time of placing the order. The length of sample selected for the electrical resistance test shall be sufficient to give the accuracy required and shall be suitable for the method of testing employed. 8.3 The lot shall be considered as conforming to the requirements of the tensile strength and electrical resistance as laid down in this standard if the mean and the range calculated from the test results for each characteristic satisfy the conditions given below: a) ( Mean + 0.6 Range ) shall be less than or equal to the corresponding maximum specified limit. b) ( Mean — 0.6 Range ) shall be greater than or equal to the corresponding minimum specified limit. NOTE 1 — Range it the difference between the maximum and the minimum values of the test results. NOTE 2 — This ensures that lots containing 0.5 percent or less defective coils will be accepted most of the time. 8.4 The lot shall be considered as conforming to the requirements of the wrapping test and torsion test if the number of failures is less than or equal to the permissible number given in col 3 of Table 2. 9. MECHANICAL TESTS 9.1 Wrapping Test 9.1.1 The wire shall not break when tested by wrapping round a wire of its own diameter to form a close helix of eight turns and unwrapping 6 IS : 2532 - 1965 six turns and closely rewrapping in the same direction as the first wrapping.

The figures given in Table 3 are based on a value of the temperatures coefficient of resistance of 0.003 81 per degree Celsius at 20°C, which is an average value for copper of 97 percent conductivity. The primary purpose of this table is to enable a resistance measured at a temperature other than 20°C to be converted to the resistance at 20°C in order to determine whether the conductor under test complies with the requirements of the standard. For this purpose, the factors have been given at half-degree intervals from 5 to 30°C, and the error in using the table between these limits for copper within the range of conductivity, 96 to 98 percent will not exceed 0.06 percent. The factors and their reciprocals have also been found of value for other purposes, such as the calculation of voltage drop on heated conductors. For these purposes only, values have been given at five-degree intervals from 30 to 85°C. It should be realized, however, that their use may lead to errors of up to 0.2 percent at the upper end of the range. 9 Base Units QUANTITY Length Mass Time Electric current Thermodynamic temperature Luminous intensity Amount of substance UNIT SYMBOL metre kilogram second ampere kelvin m kg candela mole cd mol UNIT SYMBOL radian steradian rad sr s A K Supplementary Units QUANTITY Plane angle Solid angle Derived Units QUANTITY Force Energy Power Flux Flux density Frequency Electric conductance Electromotive force Pressure, stress DEFINITION SYMBOL UNIT N J W Wb T Hz S V Pa newton joule watt webes tesla hertz siemens volt pascal N = 1 kg.m/g 2 J = 1 N.m W = l J/s Wb = 1 V.s 1 T = 1 Wb/m 3 1 Hz = 1 c/s (s - 1 ) 1 3 = 1 A/V 1 V = 1 W/A 1 Pa = 1 N/m2 1 1 1 1 INDIAN S T A N D A R D S INSTITUTION Manak Bhavan, 9 Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, NEW DELHI 110002 T e l e p h o n e s : 26 60 21, 27 Regional Western Eastern Southern Northern 01 31 Telegrame : M a n a k s a n s t h a Telephone Offices: : Novelty Chambers, Grant Road : 5 Chowringhee Approach : CIT Campus : B69, P h a s e VII Branch Offices: ' P u s h p a k ' , Nurmohamed Shaikh Marg, Khanpur 'F' Block, Unity Bldg, Narasimharaja S q u a r e Gangotri Complex, Bhadbhada Road.
