What is BS EN 61788-10- Composite superconductors about?   
BS EN 61788 discusses superconductivity.
BS EN 61788-10 is the tenth part of the BS EN 61788 multi-series and discusses the critical temperature of composite superconductors by a resistance method.
BS EN 61788-10 is a part of IEC 61788 that specifies a test method for the resistive determination of the critical temperature of composite superconductors for industrial use.
BS EN 61788-10 outlines standards include Cu/Nb-Ti,Cu/Cu-Ni/Nb-Ti and Cu-Ni/Nb-Ti composite superconductors, Cu/Nb3Sn and Cu/Nb3Al composite superconductors, and metal-sheathed MgB2 composite superconductors, and metal-stabilized bisystem oxide superconductors and Yttrium- or rare-earth-based coated conductors that have a monolithic structure and a shape of round, flat or square wire containing mono- or multicores of superconductors. 
Who is BS EN 61788-10- Composite superconductors for?  
BS EN 61788-10- critical temperature of composite superconductors by a resistance method is useful for:  
- Railguns Manufacturers  
- Coilguns Manufacturers 
- Circuits Manufacturers 
- Detectors Manufacturers 
- Magnetic resonance imaging manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 61788-10- Composite superconductors?   
In addition to critical current and critical field, the critical temperature is an important, basic property of materials that exhibit superconductivity. Also, the critical temperature is practically important in applications of superconductors, since the higher the critical temperature is, the larger is temperature margin and the lower the cooling power consumption. Thus, standardization of the measurement method of critical temperature is quite beneficial to conductor users and is urgently required.  
In this BS EN 61788-10, however, the resistance measurement method is employed. This is because the resistance method is simpler and more reliable and can be applied to most the composite superconductors in industrial use.
