Overview
This part of IEC 61788 addresses a test method for the determination of the residual resistance ratio (RRR), rRRR, of cavity-grade niobium. This method is intended for high-purity niobium grades with 150 < rRRR < 600. The test method is valid for specimens with rectangular or roundcross-section, cross-sectional area greater than 1 mm2 but less than 20 mm2, and a length not less than 10 nor more than 25 times the width or diameter. The standard differs from DIN EN IEC 61788-23 (VDE 0390-23):2023-06 as follows: a) the brief description has been amended in order to explain the test method described.
