Tolerances on single wires.

NOMINAL Ø (Dd) d (mm)

Tolerances (d)

d < 0,070
0,070 < d < 2,250
2,250 < d < 4,400
d < 4,400
± 2 µm (*)
± 3 µm
± 4 µm
± 1 % of nominal diameter rounded to 1 µm with a maximum of 50 µm

*for mention


Tolerances on multi-wire diameter.

The difference betwen the lock average diameter and the nominal value must be conforme to the paragraphe 1 values.
The difference betwen each single wire diameter and the nominal value must be conforme to the paragraphe 1 values x 2

Ovalisation on single wires.

Ø Nominal
d (mm)
MAXIMUM VALUE FOR
d max - d min (mm)
d > 0,070 twice the absolute value of the tolerance for the same single wire diameter


Note : There is no value for diameter under 0.070 mm , because they are not subject to a direct mesure.

Electrical charactéristics.
Maximum values for resistances are calculated as shown under:

n = number of wire of the lock
d = diameter nominal value, (en mm).
Dd = tolerance maximum value as shown in table 1 (en mm).
r20 = annealed copper resistivity at 20°C (en W.mm².m-1) kr = coefficient for metallurgical state of copper :

  • Kr = 1 for annealed copper wires
  • Kr = 1,02for hard drawn copper wires Ø > 6 mm
  • Kr = for hard drawn copper wires 1mm < Ø < 6mm
  • Kr = for hard drawn copper wires Ø < 1 mm
  • Ke =coefficient for surface influence on annealed tin plated copper wires :

(e = minimum tin thickness (free tin) in µm, value shown by table 6. This value cant be less than 0,3µm)
