In the literature on Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_8+x (Bi-2212) superconducting wires, it is evident that measurement protocols for transport critical-current I_c versus longitudinal strain epsilon and definitions of the so-called 'strain limit' are generally dissimilar. Yet, values obtained for the 'strain limit' are frequently assimilated to being those of the irreversible strain limit ϵ_irr, regardless of the I_c degradation-criterion used to define it. In effect, ϵ_irr should correspond specifically to the I_c(ϵ) irreversibility onset, where crack formation in Bi-2212 filaments presumably starts. Because I_c(ϵ) degradation remains progressive over a fairly wide strain range beyond ϵ_irr, the different I_c degradation-criteria in use do not yield to the same result and, thus, are not equivalent from metrology perspective. Indeed, in studying densified samples of a modern Bi-2212 round wire, we found ϵ_irr ≈ 0.4% and ϵ_5% ≈ 0.6% (ϵ_5% being the strain where I_c degrades by 5%). In this paper, we outline and suggest I_c(ϵ)-measurement protocols and data-analysis methodologies in the hope to converge the various approaches taken for studying Bi-2212 strain properties and, thus, remove related result discrepancies. A unified approach would enable more objective data comparisons among laboratories and among different Bi-2212 conductors. It would pave the way for more rigorous studies of effects potentially associated with wire design, powder, heat treatments, and other such parameters on the conductor's strain properties.
