ASTM B549-00
Historical Standard: ASTM B549-00 Standard Specification for Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Aluminum-Clad Steel Reinforced (ACSR/AW)
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM B549
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers concentric-lay-stranded conductors made from round aluminum 1350-H19 (extra hard) aluminum wires and round aluminum-clad steel core wires for use as overhead electrical conductors (Explanatory Notes 1 and 2).
Note 1-Prior to 1975, aluminum 1350 was designated as EC aluminum. Note 2-Aluminum 1350 corresponds to Unified Numbering System A91350 in accordance with Practice E527.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard with the exception of density and resistivity. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
