Description

Tension in wire engineering is discussed in detail. Topics include static and dynamic tension tests, tension and insulation damage, the influence of plastic flow and cold working, safe tensions and wire parameters, a nomogram for safe tensions vs. wire age, microstructural considerations, the tension of moving wires, tension meters, a simple qualitative test for yield strength, tension in non-round coils, tensions in multi-conductor wires and sleevings, controlling tension electrically, electric tension control, and the parameters influencing tension.
