of hard drawn aluminum alloy measured between two potential points rigidly fixed
to the wire, the metal being allowed to expand freely, has been taken as 0.0038 per
degree Celsius.
11. CO-EFFFICIENT OF LINEAR EXPANSION:

The Co-efficient of linear expansion of hard drawn aluminum alloy has been taken as
23x10-6/0C. This value holds good for all practical purposes over the range of
temperatures from zero degree centigrade to highest safe operating temperature.

The wires shall be smooth and free from all imperfections such as spills, splits, slag
inclusion, die marks, scratches, fittings, blow-holes, projections, looseness,
overlapping of strands, chipping of aluminium alloy layers etc. and all such other
defects , which may hamper the mechanical and electrical properties of the
conductor. Special care should be taken to keep away dirt, grit etc. during stranding.

the base rod or wire before final drawing, but no two such joints shall be less than 15
meters apart in the complete stranded conductor. Such joints shall be made by cold
pressure butt-welding.
NOTE : Joints are not permitted in the outermost layer of the conductor in order to
ensure a smooth conductor finish and reduce radio interference levels and corona
losses on the extra high voltage lines
MMC: MSC II / AL59 cod./2018/10

15. STRANDING:

The lay ratio of the different layers shall be within the limits given in the table below.

alongwith the Bid.
In the event of non-availability of test report or any discrepancy in the test
report (i.e., any test report not applicable due to any design / material/manufacturing
process change including substitution of components or due to non-compliance with
the requirement stipulated in the Technical Specification) the tests shall be conducted
by the Supplier at no extra cost to the Employer/ Purchaser.

Acceptance tests shall mean those tests which are to be carried out on samples taken
from each lot offered for pre-despatch inspection, for the purpose of acceptance of
that lot.
Routine tests shall mean those tests, which are to be carried out on each strand/
spool/length of the conductor to check requirements which are likely to vary during
production.
Tests during manufacture shall mean those tests, which are to be carried out during
the process of manufacture and end inspection by the manufacture to ensure the
desired quality of the end product to be supplied by him.
Samples for individual wires for tests shall be taken before stranding from not less
than ten percent of the spools in the case of aluminium alloy wires. If samples are
taken after stranding, they shall be obtained by cutting 1.2 metres from the outer end
of the finished conductor from not more than ten percent of the finished reels.
The standards and norms to which these tests will be carried out are listed against
them. Where a particular test is a specific requirement of this specification, the
norms and procedures of the test shall be as specified in Annexure-II or as
mutually agreed to between the Bidder and the Purchaser in the Quality
Assurance Program.
For all acceptance tests, the acceptance values shall be the values guaranteed by the
bidder in the guaranteed technical particulars of his proposal or the acceptance value
specified in this specification, whichever is more stringent for that particular test.
18. TESTING EXPENSES:

The entire cost of testing for the acceptance and routine tests and tests during
manufacture specified herein shall be treated as included in the quoted unit price
except for the expenses of the inspector/ MSEDCL representative.

works, raw materials and process of manufacture for conducting necessary tests as
detailed herein.
The manufacturer shall keep the MSEDCL representative informed in advance of the
time of starting and of the progress of manufacture of conductor in its various stages
so that arrangements can be made for inspection.
The supplier shall give 15 days advance intimation to enable the purchaser to depute
his representative for witnessing acceptance and routine tests.
No material shall be dispatched from its point of manufacture before it has been
satisfactorily inspected and tested, unless the inspection is waived off by the
MSEDCL representative in writing. In the later case also the conductor shall be
dispatched only after satisfactory testing for all tests specified herein have been
completed.
At least 5% of the total number of drums subject to minimum of two in any lot put up
for inspection, shall be selected at random to ascertain the length of conductor by
the following method:
"At the works of the manufacturer of the conductor, the conductor shall be
transferred from one drum to another at the same time measuring its length with the
help of a graduated pulley & Cyclometer. The difference in the average length thus
obtained and as declared by the Bidder in the packing list shall be applied to all
the drums if the conductor is found short during checking."
At least 10% of the total drums in any lot put up for inspection, shall
be selected at random to conduct the “Acceptance Tests” by the inspector. The
acceptance Tests shall be carried out on all the samples drawn from the sampling
drums selected as above. If any sample drawn does not pass the Acceptance tests, the
drum from which the sample is drawn will be rejected and another drum from the
same lot shall be selected at random to repeat the “Acceptance Tests”. If the second
sample also fails in the same Test, the entire lot offered for Inspection will be
rejected.
The acceptance of any quantity of material shall in no way relieve the manufacturer
of any of his responsibilities for meeting all requirements of the specification, and
shall not prevent subsequent rejection if such material is later found to be defective.

Approval of drawing/TCs by Purchaser shall not relieve the Bidder of his

responsibility and liability for ensuring correctness and correct interpretation of the
latest revision of applicable standards, rules and codes of practices. The material
MMC: MSC II / AL59 cod./2018/10

shall conform in all respects to high standards of engineering, design,

workmanship and latest revisions of relevant standards at the time of ordering and
Purchaser shall have the power to reject any work or material , which in his judgment
is not in full accordance therewith.
