Para. 3.5.6, Identification of Product: Delete and replace with the following:
"When specified by the procuring activity, finished wire or cable shall be identified by a
marking applied to the outer surface. The identification shall consist of the appropriate mark
as specified by the contract or the applicable specification sheet. For marking wire insulations
of AWG sizes 10 and smaller, the legend shall be printed in black ink, except where black ink
is difficult to read, the printing shall be in a contrasting color. For marking wire insulations of
AWG sizes 8 and larger, the legend shall be printed in black ink preferably. For all other
marking surfaces, the legend shall be printed in a contrasting color. Identification shall be
applied with the vertical axis of the printed characters parallel to the longitudinal axis of the
wire or cable when the nominal diameter of the marking surface is 0.050 inch
(1.3 mm)
or
smaller. The vertical axis of the printed characters may be either perpendicular or parallel to
the longitudinal axis of the wire or cable when the nominal diameter of the marking surface
exceeds 0.050 inch
(1.3 mm).
Wires with diameters of 0.035 inch
(0.89 mm)
and smaller shall
not be marked."

"4.6.3
4.6.3.1
Conductor Elongation and Break Strength (High Strand Count Conductor)
Soft or Annealed Copper
Elongation tests of soft or annealed copper conductors shall be tested in accordance
with MIL-STD-2223, Method 5002, using a 10-inch
(254-mm)
initial jaw separation
and a jaw separation speed of 10 ± 2 inches
(254 ± 51 mm)
per minute. The test
shall be performed upon the whole conductor for regular bunch-stranded
constructions, or upon one whole member removed from rope bunch-stranded
constructions, as applicable, taken from the finished wire. In either case, elongation
shall be measured upon breakage of the first strand of the whole conductor or
member, as applicable. Elongation shall be determined by the distance the jaw has
traveled. Breaks occurring at the jaws shall be discounted and a new specimen shall
be tested.
4.6.3.2
High-Strength Copper Alloy
Elongation and break strength tests of high-strength copper alloy conductors shall be
tested in accordance with MIL-STD-2223, Method 5002 on the whole conductor
removed from the finished wire, using a 10-inch
(254-mm)
initial jaw separation and
a jaw separation speed of 2 ± 0.5 inches
(51 ± 13 mm)
per minute. Elongation shall
be determined by the distance the jaw has traveled. Breaks occurring at the jaws
shall be discounted and a new specimen shall be tested."
