Electrotechnical copper wire rod
General information
Copper rod, being a quality product, is widely applied in various industries .
Copper rod, being a quality product, is widely applied in various industries. Copper rod is manufactured by the method of continuous casting and rolling from refined copper scrap and ore. Copper wires are widely used in the cable industry due to their electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, high corrosion resistance, easy handling, welding and soldering.
Main indicators of the copper rod
Nominal diameter of the copper rod, mm | Margin of error, mm | Specific resistance at a temperature of 20 °C, Ohm•mm2/m (not more than) |
8.0 | ± 0.4 | 0.01718 |
Electrotechnical copper wire rod of other types (ø12.0, ø16.0) is manufactured at the STP Cable Factory as well.
