Describes a test method for the resistive determination of the critical temperature of composite superconductors for industrial use. Composite superconductors which are covered in this standard include Cu/Nb-Ti, Cu/Cu-Ni/Nb-Ti and Cu-Ni/Nb-Ti composite superconductors, Cu/Nb[3]Sn and Cu/Nb[3]Al composite superconductors, and metal-sheathed MgB[2] composite superconductors, and metal-stabilized Bisystem oxide superconductors and Yttrium- or rare-earth-based coated conductors that have a monolithic structure and a shape of round, flat or square wire containing mono- or multicores of superconductors.
