  • Abstract
    A total of 30.000 meters of NbTi solid multifilamentary superconductor, I_{c} \\sim 2500 A at 6 T, was tested. For each stretch of wire received, measurements were made to check if the wire met the specifications. The specification and the measuring set-up are described. Systematic measurements of the critical currents, Cu : SC ratio, Ti content and wire size are discussed. A strong variation in the critical current could be correlated to a strong variation in the Ti content.
