NbTi strands for the ITER poloidal field coils which were produced by the A.
A. Bochvar High-Technology Research Institute of Inorganic Materials (VNIINM), Russia, will be tested in view of the ITER specifications.
Measurements of the critical currents will be performed at various field and temperatures. A new sample rod has to be designed and constructed to enable the measurements at high currents and elevated temperature (above 4.2 K).
