Superconductivity - Part 5: Matrix to superconductor volume ratio measurement - Copper to superconductor volume ratio of Cu/Nb-Ti composite superconducting wires

IEC 61788-5:2013 covers a test method for the determination of copper to superconductor volume ratio of Cu/Nb-Ti composite superconducting wires. This test method and the alternate method in Annex are intended for use with Cu/Nb-Ti composite superconducting wires with a cross-sectional area of 0,1 mm2 to 3 mm2, a diameter of the Nb-Ti filament(s) of 2 micrometers to 200 micrometers, and a copper to superconductor volume ratio of 0,5 or more. The Cu/Nb-Ti composite test conductor discussed in this method has a monolithic structure with a round or rectangular cross-section. This test method is carried out by dissolving the copper with nitric acid. Deviations from this test method that are allowed for routine tests and other specific restrictions are given in this standard. Cu/Nb-Ti composite superconducting wires beyond the limits in the cross-sectional area, the filament diameter and the copper to superconductor volume ratio could be measured with this present method with an anticipated reduction of uncertainty. Other, more specialized, specimen test geometries may be more appropriate for conductors beyond the limits and have been omitted from this present standard for simplicity and to retain low uncertainty. The test method given in this standard is expected to apply to other superconducting composite wires after some appropriate modifications. The copper to superconductor volume ratio of composite superconductors is used mainly to calculate the critical current density of superconducting wires. The test with the method given in this International Standard may be used to provide part of the information needed to determine the suitability of a specific superconductor. Moreover, this method is useful for quality control, acceptance or research testing if the precautions given in this standard are observed. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2000. It constitutes a technical revision. The main revisions are the addition of two new annexes, "Uncertainty considerations" (Annex E) and "Uncertainty evaluation in test method of copper to superconductor volume ratio of Cu/Nb-Ti composite superconductors" (Annex F).

Supraconductivité - Partie 5: Mesure du rapport volumique matrice/supraconducteur - Rapport volumique cuivre/supraconducteur des fils en composite supraconducteur Cu/Nb-Ti

La IEC 61788-5:2013 spécifie une méthode d'essai pour déterminer le rapport volumique cuivre/supraconducteur de fils en composite supraconducteur Cu/Nb-Ti. Cette méthode d'essai et l'autre méthode de l'Annexe A sont destinées à être utilisées avec des fils en composite supraconducteur Cu/Nb-Ti ayant une section de 0,1 mm2 à 3 mm2, un diamètre du ou des filaments de Nb-Ti de 2 micromètres à 200 micromètres et un rapport volumique cuivre/supraconducteur supérieur ou égal à 0,5. Le conducteur d'essai composite Cu/Nb-Ti présenté dans cette méthode possède une structure monolithique avec une section ronde ou rectangulaire. Cette méthode d'essai est réalisée en dissolvant le cuivre dans de l'acide nitrique. Les écarts par rapport à cette méthode d'essai qui sont admis pour les essais périodiques et les autres restrictions spécifiques sont mentionnés dans la présente norme. Les fils en composite supraconducteur Cu/Nb-Ti dépassant les limites de la section, du diamètre de filament et du rapport volumique cuivre/supraconducteur peuvent être mesurés avec la présente méthode au moyen d'une réduction d'incertitude anticipée. D'autres géométries d'éprouvettes plus spécialisées peuvent être plus appropriées à des conducteurs dépassant les limites et ont été omises de la présente norme pour la simplifier et pour conserver une faible incertitude. On s'attend à appliquer la méthode d'essai donnée dans cette norme à d'autres fils en composite supraconducteur après y avoir apporté certaines modifications appropriées. Le rapport volumique cuivre/supraconducteur des composites supraconducteurs est utilisé principalement pour calculer la densité de courant critique des fils supraconducteurs. L'essai effectué avec la méthode donnée dans la présente Norme internationale peut être utilisé pour fournir une partie des informations nécessaires pour déterminer la pertinence d'un supraconducteur spécifique. De plus, cette méthode est utile pour le contrôle qualité, l'essai d'acceptation ou de recherche si les précautions données dans cette norme sont observées. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2000, dont elle constitue une révision technique. Les principales révisions sont l'ajout de deux nouvelles annexes, "Considérations relatives à l'incertitude" (Annexe E) et "Évaluation de l'incertitude de la méthode d'essai du rapport volumique cuivre/supraconducteur des composites supraconducteurs Cu/Nb-Ti" (Annexe F).

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in
addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses
arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61788-5 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 90:
Superconductivity.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2000. It constitutes a
technical revision. The main revisions are the addition of two new annexes, "Uncertainty
considerations" (Annex E) and "Uncertainty evaluation in test method of copper to
superconductor volume ratio of Cu/Nb-Ti composite superconductors" (Annex F).
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
