No. 10 pure copper wire weighs 31.43 pounds per 1000 feet.



WIRE DATA AND FORMULAE 375

(2) The Ohm.

1 international ohm = 1.06300 Siemens units.

1 international ohm = 1.01348 British Association (B.A.) units.

1 international ohm = 1.00283 legal ohms.

1 international ohm = resistance at C. of column of pure

mercury, 106.3 cms long, weighing
14.4521 grams, and of uniform cross-
section.

1 British Association unit (B.A.U.) = 0.986699 international

ohm.

1 legal ohm = 0.997178 international ohm.

(3) Resistance of Wire Wound in a Channel.

The following formula will enable the resistance to be calculated
for any wire with any thickness of insulation when wound to fill
a channel of any given volume. The formula assumes the wire
is wound in square order and in a regular manner. The formula
is approximate to the extent that terms which involve the square
of the thickness of the insulation are neglected We have

1.27 Vp,

R> ' 2F'



In relation (1) R t = ohms at t to which wire winds,

V = total volume of channel filled with wire,
Pt = resistivity of wire at t,
d = diameter of wire,
h = twice the thickness of the insulation.

Example. To what resistance will No. 26 B. & S. copper wire
wind per cubic centimeter, when its temperature is 20 C., and
the double thickness of its insulation is 5 mils?

In this case

V = 1 cu. cm,
P20 = 1.594 X 1.08 X 10-*,
d = 0.0405 cm,
h = 0.0127 cm (5 mils).

These values placed in relation (1) give
R t = 0.499 ohm.



376 APPENDIX

(4) Certain Formulae for Wire.*

The wire is pure copper and at 20 C.; bare.

(Ohms per 1000 feet) = 10354 -^ (area in cir. mils).

(Pounds per 1000 feet) = 0.0030269 X (area in cir. mils).

(Feet per pound) = 330,360 -r- (area in cir. mils).

(Ohms per pound) = 3,420,400 -f- (area in cir. mils) 2 .

(Feet per ohm) = 0.096585 X (area in cir. mils).

2

Area in circular mils = diameter in mils

For approximate calculations it may be easily remembered that

1000 feet No. 10 wire = 1 ohm,

1000 feet No. 13 wire = 2 ohms,

1000 feet No. 16 wire = 4 ohms, etc.,

1000 feet No. 7 wire = \ ohm,

1000 feet No. 4 wire = \ ohm,

1000 feet No. 1 wire = J ohm, etc.

To change microhms per centimeter-cube to ohms per mil-foot
multiply by 6.014. To change ohms per mil-foot to microhms
per centimeter cube multiply by 0.166. (Statement taken from
Catalogue J, Driver-Harris Wire Company.) f

IV. PHYSICAL DATA.

(1) Resistivity of Mercury.

The following data was furnished the author by the Bureau of
Standards. (In his own work the author has used the value,
volume resistivity of mercury at 20 C. = 95.782.)

The values for the resistivity of mercury are those computed
from the temperature formulae of F. E. Smith of the National
Physical Laboratory of England (Phil. Trans. 204, p. 112; 1904),
C. E. Guillaume of the International Bureau (Comptes Rendus,
115, p. 414; 1892), and Kreichgauer and Jaeger of the Reichsan-
stalt (Wied. Ann., 47, 527; 1892). In the following table volume
resistivity is given in microhms per centimeter cube and mass
resistivity is given in ohms per meter-gram.

* The constants under this heading are reproduced with the permission
of the Standard Underground Cable Company, of Pittsburgh, Pa., from their
"XVII Hand-Book, Standard Underground Cable Company, Copyright, 1906."

t Since the material given in Appendix III was prepared, the Bureau of
Standards has issued circular No. 31, entitled " Copper Wire Tables." This
circular should be consulted for the most authoritative information upon wire
sizes, standards, and temperature coefficients.

The C. values are computed from the quantities given in the
definition of the international ohm, 14.4521 grams mass and
106.300 centimeters length; and, in the case of volume resistivity
at C., the density is assumed to be such as to make the cross-
section 1 mm. 2 Smith's temperature formula was obtained from
observations between C. and 24 C., Guillaume's between C.
and 61 C., and Kreichgauer and Jaeger's between 14 C. and
28 C. Accordingly the values given for 100 C. are based on
extrapolation.

The temperature formula for mass resistivity is of course not
the same as for volume resistivity. Thus, letting d represent mass
resistivity, p volume resistivity, and d density,

^ = EL . $L.
do po do

The temperature formula of resistance, as measured in a glass
tube, is different from either of the temperature formulas .for
resistivity. Thus, letting 7 denote the resistance as measured in
a glass tube, and y g the linear coefficient of expansion of the glass,

7t = Pt . 1

7o po 1 + y g t

(2) Resistivities at 20 C.; Densities and Melting Points of the
Solid Elements.

Resistivity or the specific resistance is given in microhms. (To
change to ohms multiply by 10" 6 .) The resistivity is the ohmic
resistance between opposite faces of a centimeter cube of the sub-
stance. Resistivity is quite dependent upon the purity of the
material, which is not generally recorded. It is not useful, there-
fore, to record values beyond three, or at the most four, figures.
Where values given by different observers differ a mean value
is given here. The table is arranged in the order of decreasing
resistivity.

PHYSICAL DATA



379



The density of a substance may depend upon its previous treat-
ment and its physical state; hence values are generally not given
closer than three figures. The densities given are the grams per
cubic centimeter of the substance at room temperature and at
atmospheric pressure. When authorities differ a mean value is
given.

The melting point is given in degrees centigrade at which the
substance melts. In the case of several substances the melting
points are very sharp and have been determined with great care.
They serve as fixed points of temperature which are used for
reproducing the temperature scale. In these cases the symbol,
F.P., follows the recorded temperature; the numerical figure, as
db 0.8 states that the recorded temperature of melting is known
within that number of degrees centigrade.

(4) Standard Solutions for Calibrating Purposes. (See 1121.)
The table gives the resistivity p t at six temperatures t of NaCl t

and KC1 solutions.

The numbers -in the columns are resistivities. They express the

resistance in ohms of the solution (at the temperature in degrees C.

heading the column) between opposite faces of a centimeter-cube

of the solution. The reciprocals of the resistivities expressed in

ohms are conductivities expressed in mho, cubic centimeter, units.

[Note that the resistivity of a saturated solution is roughly one

million times the resistivity of a pure metal.]

n = normal solution.

(5) Resistivities of Insulators.

These vary so widely with the temperature, the purity and
character of the material, the state of the surface,* and the con-
ditions of the test, that the values given below are only roughly
approximate and merely serve to indicate the order of magnitude
of the quantities. Expressed in megohms resistance between
opposite faces of a cubic centimeter of the material the resistivities
of a few materials at ordinary temperatures are:

Paraffin wax = 3 X 10 12 ,

Mica = 9 X 10 9 ,

Ebonite = 2 X 10 9 ,

Porcelain, 50 C., = 2 X 10 9 ,

Rubber (used as insulation on wire) = 4.5 X 10 8 ,
f Fused Silica = 2 X 10 8 ,

t Glass (soda-lime) = 5 X 10 5 .
