Description

The VAMAS technical working party in the area of superconducting and cryogenic structural materials has recently carried out the first world-wide intercomparison of critical current, I/sub c/, measurement on multifilamentary Nb/sub 3/Sn wires. Three sample wires were supplied from each of EC (European Communities), Japan and USA. The total number of participant labs were 24 (EC 11, Japan and USA 5). There were few restrictions for the I/sub c/ measurement at participant labs. The standard deviations of the I/sub c/ values reported from these labs. varied among test samples, and were 6 - 21% of averaged I/sub c/'s at 12 Tesla
