Abstract

To submit residual resistance ratio (RRR) measurement method of Cu/Nb3Sn composite conductor as one of new work items to IEC-TC90 in the near future, inter-comparison tests have been carried out. Four laboratories joined the tests using the bronze-processed Cu/Nb3Sn with the external stabilizer as a sample. Laboratory W reacted and measured samples A, B and C, then they were distributed to the other three laboratories (X, Y and Z). Laboratories X, Y and Z measured samples A, B and C, respectively and those data were compared with those of W. As a result, coefficient of variation, COV, of RRR values of 6.7% was obtained. Thermoelectric voltages were also measured in the tests and it was found that it did not affect scattering of RRR measurement if we changed the polarity. If allowable target precision is extended up to around 10%, we will reach the goal of the standardization in RRR measurement method of Cu/Nb3Sn in a year.
