ASTM B549-22 - 1.12.2022
 
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 Note 1 and Note 2).

1.2?The SI values of density and resistivity are to be regarded as standard. For all other properties the inch-pound units are regarded as standard and the SI units may be approximate.

1.3?This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
