ASTM B711-99
Historical Standard: ASTM B711-99 Standard Specification for Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum-Alloy Conductors, Steel Reinforced (AACSR) (6201)
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM B711
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers concentric-lay-stranded conductors made from round aluminum-alloy 6201-T81 hard: solution heat treated, cold worked, and then artificially aged wire and round zinc-coated, aluminum-coated, or aluminum-clad steel core wire for use as overhead electric conductors (Explanatory Notes 1 and 2).
Note 1-All values are stated in SI units. No inch-pound equivalents are presented, nor is an inch-pound companion specification proposed. Note 2-The alloy and temper designations conform to ANSI H35.1. Aluminum alloy 6201 corresponds to Unified Numbering System alloy A96201 in accordance with Practice E527. Note 3-It is proposed that references to inch-pound documents be changed to metric companions of applicable documents as they are developed, possibly requiring minor changes in some values in this specification.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
