What is BS EN 61788-12 - Copper to non-copper volume ratio about ?
BS EN 61788-12 is a European Standard on superconductivity which is the 12th part of multi-series that describes a test method for determining the copper to non-copper volume ratio of Cu/Nb3Sn wires. The Cu/Nb3Sn wire has a monolithic structure with a round or rectangular cross-section.
The test method given hereunder is applicable to Nb3Sn composite superconducting wires with a cross-sectional area of 0,1 mm2 to 3,0 mm2 and a copper to non-copper volume ratio of 0,1 or more. It does not make any reference to the filament diameter; however, it is not applicable to those superconducting wires with their filament.
This test method may be applied to other composite superconducting wires after some appropriate modifications.
