Schedule 80 Pipe
Notes: 1. Current ratings listed in the Tables are based on 30oC temperature rise over 40oC ambient horizontally mounted conductors, with spacing sufficient to eliminate proximity effects, generally assumed not to be significant if spacing is 18 in. or over. Conduction of heat by supporting structures and taps can appreciably affect the ratings. 2. Conductors with a 2ft/sec crosswind. Nominal oxidized surface (e=0.50) 3. Current Ratings for direct current are close to those of alternating current for all except the larger sizes; and for them, the increase for dc bus is about 1.5 percent. 4. NEMA Standard SG1-3.02 (7/13/60) lists current rating for tubes of 57%-61% IACS conductivity, but without stated emissivity factors. However, even after adjustment for the 53% IACS conductivity of 6063-T6 alloy (and 43% for 6061-T6 alloy), the ratings differ somewhat from those of this table.

Notes: 1. Ratings based on 30oC rise over 40oC ambient in still but confined air (e=0.35), corresponding to usual indoor temperature. Vertical bar ampacity based on work by House and Tuttle. Horizontal bar ampacity from industry sources. 2. Space between bars is assumed equal bar thickness. 3. For ac phase spacings less than 18 inches an allowance for proximity effect must be made. 4. Ratings are based on horizontal mounting, in air with no attachments. For dc ratings of other alloys, multiply by: For 6101-T61, 0.982; 6101-T63, 0.992; 6101-T64, 1.02; 6101-T65, 0.996. For 60Hz, the use of these multipliers is conservative.

Notes: 1. Current ratings are based on 6101-T61 alloy with standard vent-holes in web. For 6101-T6 reduce the rating by 2 percent. Indoor ratings are based on 30oC rise over 40oC ambient in still but unconfined air, normally oxidized surface (e=0.35) and similarly for outdoor ratings, except 2 ft/sec cross wind (e=0.50). Horizontal mounting is assumed with spacing sufficient to eliminate proximity effects, generally assumed to be 18-in. or over. For temperature rise of 50oC above 40oC ambient, the indoor ratings for 30oC may be increased about 30 percent. Indoor ratings (D-C and A-C) calculated by computer and verified by test rounded. Outdoor ratings are calculations only. 2. For vent and notch arrangements, consult your AFL Sales Representative. The interior perimeter varies according to the washer diameters that are to be accommodated, and as to their location per NEMA spacing. The 12 in. x 12 in. size is a opposite of two symmetric extrusions bolted together.

Notes: 1. Indoor current ratings are based on 30oC rise over 40oC ambient in still but unconfined air, normally oxidized surface (e=0.35). Outdoor ratings are based similarly, but with 2 ft/sec crosswind (e=0.50). Horizontal mounting is assumed with spacing sufficient to eliminate proximity effects, generally assumed to be 18-in. or over. Indoor ratings based on work by House and Tuttle. Outdoor ratings from IEEE paper by Prager, Pemberton, Craig and Bleshman. 2. Back-to-back angles are to be considered as separate members; not as a composite. 3. Alignment grooves are extruded to facilitate centering of holes according to NEMA standard spacings. 4. A modification of this design has a lug at top that does not interfere with bolting, yet it strengthens the shape against tendency to roll-over to the z-z axis in long spans subjected to large lateral short circuit forces. For equal weight of shape, the z-z radius of gyration is increased by 20 percent. The stress that causes roll-over is thereby increased about 40 percent.
