1.1This specification covers concentric-lay-stranded conductors made from round aluminum 1350-H19 (extra hard) wires and round aluminum-alloy 6201-T81 (hard: solution heat treated, cold worked, and then artificially aged) core wires for use as overhead electrical conductors (Explanatory Note 1).

Note 1:The aluminum, alloy, and temper designations conform to ANSI H35.1/ANSI H35.1[M]. Aluminum 1350 and Alloy 6201 correspond to unified numbering system A91350 and A96201, respectively, in accordance with Practice E527.

1.2The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.2.1For density, resistivity and temperature, the values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.

1.3This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.4This 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.
