Superconductivity - Part 4: Residual resistance ratio measurement - Residual resistance ratio of Nb-Ti composite superconductors
IEC 61788-4:2011 covers a test method for the determination of the residual resistance ratio (RRR) of composite superconductors comprised of Nb-Ti filaments and Cu, Cu-Ni or Cu/Cu-Ni matrix. This method is intended for use with superconductors that have a monolithic structure with rectangular or round cross-section, RRR less than 350, and cross-sectional area less than 3 mm2. All measurements are done without an applied magnetic field. The method described in the body of this standard is the 'reference' method and optional acquisition methods are outlined in Clause A.3. This third edition constitutes a technical revision which adds two new annexes: 'Uncertainty considerations' (Annex B) and 'Uncertainty evaluation in test method of RRR for NbTi' (Annex C). Copper is used as a matrix material in multifilamentary superconductors and works as an electrical shunt when the superconductivity is interrupted. It also contributes to recovery of the superconductivity by conducting heat generated in the superconductor to the surrounding coolant. The cryogenic-temperature resistivity of copper is an important quantity, which influences the stability of the superconductor. The residual resistance ratio is defined as a ratio of the resistance of the superconductor at room temperature to that just above the superconducting transition.

Supraconductivité - Partie 4: Mesure du rapport de résistance résiduelle - Rapport de résistance résiduelle des supraconducteurs composites de Nb-Ti
La CEI 61788-4:2011 spécifie une méthode d'essai pour la détermination du rapport de résistance résiduelle (RRR) de supraconducteurs composites constitués de filaments de Nb-Ti et d'une matrice de Cu, Cu-Ni ou Cu/Cu-Ni. Cette méthode est destinée à être utilisée avec des supraconducteurs présentant une structure monolithique avec une section rectangulaire ou circulaire, un rapport RRR inférieur à 350 et une surface de section inférieure à 3 mm2. Toutes les mesures sont effectuées sans appliquer de champ magnétique. La méthode décrite dans le corps de texte de la présente norme est la méthode de 'référence' et des méthodes d'acquisition facultatives sont présentées à l'Article A.3. Cette troisième édition constitue une révision technique qui ajoute deux nouvelles annexes: 'Considérations relatives à l'incertitude' (Annexe B) et 'Evaluation de l'incertitude de la méthode d'essai de RRR (rapport de résistance résiduelle) de NbTi' (Annexe C). Le cuivre est utilisé comme matériau de matrice dans les supraconducteurs multifilamentaires et fonctionne comme une dérivation électrique lorsque la supraconductivité est interrompue. Il contribue également à la reprise de la supraconductivité en dirigeant la chaleur générée dans le supraconducteur vers le fluide de refroidissement environnant. La résistivité à la température cryogénique du cuivre est une grandeur importante qui influe sur la stabilité du supraconducteur. Le rapport de résistance résiduelle est défini comme le rapport entre la résistance du supraconducteur à température ambiante et celle immédiatement supérieure à la transition supraconductrice.
Superprevodnost - 4. del: Meritve razmerja preostale upornosti - Preostala upornost za superprevodnike iz kompozita Nb-Ti
Ta del IEC 61788 zajema preskusno metodo za določevanje razmerja preostale upornosti (RRR) za kompozitne superprevodnike iz vlaken Nb-Ti in Cu, Cu-Ni ali matrice Cu/Cu-Ni. Ta metoda je namenjena uporabi z vzorci superprevodnikov, ki imajo monolitno strukturo s pravokotnim ali okroglim prečnim prerezom, RRR manj kot 350 in prerezom manj kot 3 mm2. Vse meritve se izvajajo brez vnesenega magnetnega polja. Metoda, opisana v glavnem delu tega standarda, je »referenčna«, izbirne metode so navedene v točki A.3.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication ma
