This specification covers fine silver electrical contact fabricated material. The forms covered are tubing, rod, wire, strip, and sheet for electrical contact applications. The sheet and strip shall conform to the required mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation, and hardness. The wire and rod shall conform to the required mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation. The material shall be produced by either hot or cold working operations. It should be finished by such cold working and annealing as may be necessary to meet the properties specified. All materials produced to this specification shall be inspected visually.

1.1 This specification covers fine silver grade 99.9 % in fabricated form. The forms covered are tubing, rod, wire, strip, and sheet for electrical contact applications.

1.2 The electrical contact properties may vary dependent upon the method of manufacture (refer to ).

1.3 The 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 infomraiton only and are not considered standard.

This 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 become familiar with all hazards, including those identified in the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for this product/material as provided by the manufacturer, to establish appropriate safety and health practices, and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
