Physical Requirements S.A Tensile Properties: 5.1.1 The zine-coated wire used in the parallel wire strand shall, prior to fabrication, conform to the mechanical prop. erties in Table 1. In this case the prestretching provision of the test sample of 5.1.2 is not permitted 5.1.2 The zine-coated wire used in the helical wire strand shalt conform to the mechanical properties in Table 1 prior to fabrication, but the wire test sample may be prestretched to $5 % of the minimum tensile strength specified in Table 1 prior to conducting the tests. 5.1.3 The tensile strength and the stress at 0.7 % extension shall be based on the actual cross-sectional area of the fin- ished wire, including the zine coating 5.1.4 Test Specimens—The test specimens shal be free of bends or kinks other than the curvature resulting from the usual coiling operation. The hand straightening necessary to permit insertion of the specimen in the jaws of the testing machine shall be performed by drawing between wood blocks or by some other equally satisfactory means. 5.2 Stress at 0.7 % Extension Under Load—The value of stress at 0.7 % extension under load shall be determined by one of the following procedures, depending on the type of extensometer used: 5.2.1 Non-Awtographic Extensometer—When a non-auto- ‘graphic extensometer is used to measure the 0.7 % extension, it shall have a gage length of 10 in. (254 mm), and it shall be 30 graduated that the smallest division corresponds to a strain not larger than 0.0001 in./in. (0.0001 mm/mm) of ‘gage length, Apply 2 load corresponding to the tensile stress indicated in Table 2, using the nominal diameter of the specimen. Maintain this load while a 10-in, extensometer is attached and adjusted to the initial setting shown in Table 2. ‘Then increase the load uniformly until the extensometer {indicates an extension of 0.07 in, (1.78 mm) or 0.7% extension Record the lod for this extension. The stress corresponding to this load shall meet the requirements for the sires of 0.7 % extension specified in Table 1, depending on the class of coating under consideration. Hold the specimen at 0.7 % extension under load and remove the ‘extensometer used to measure the stress at 0.7 % extension; then replace it with an elongation extensometer. Continue the application of load until fracture occurs. Record the elongation attained from the elongation extensometer and add to it 0.7% obtained from the stress at 0.7 % ‘extensometer to get the total elongation. 5.2.2 Autographic Extensometer—When an autographic extensometer is used, it shall have a gage length of at least 2 in, (50.8 mm) and the magnification of strain shall not be Jess than 250. Apply 2 load, corresponding to the tensile siress indicated in Table 2, using the nominal diameter of the qh ase6 ‘TABLE 1 Mechanical Requiremonts ‘Brees OTR Tae ‘tre Coates Nomea oametar ‘extension Terste sieng min gn Or ‘ese, reer tas, min ‘mormon no om es MPa ea wa * x Goidw—oTe is ware 600001000 0000 1620 20 111 wrsiager* 2.820 an igor e000 1100 zoom 1820 40 5 00 wraleger 2.286 ane inger® 10000 1000 210000 450 40 e 0.000 andiager* 2.286 aed lager# 140000 970 2000001380 40 “This sot wn Ba arger wre wilbemanfacured ary Ged amele 1 ony Epis alte we Sues hase bythe Ser ance mT ES tne equrements oft specie TABLE 2_Iniial Setings for Determining Stross et 0.7 X Extension Tome Ciro Tala Suess inal Seng of Exiensareter, 7. im ee ro Pe ‘omer ‘O40 0068, ra Tarot 225 md 4 100 ‘0008 (05 5 entonsord 3.09010 0.118, fs 22910902. ing 2 180 0.0010 (0.10 x extonser) 2.120 anata 308 arc ergo 2 200 0.0015 0.15 5 extonser) “Trae rot owl a agar wre wa be manuleciured 10 any urd darter ony ples Wai he wre aire Chosen by he sand manuiacurer Tus eet tne raquerents of ts spcseaton, specimen. Maintain this load and attach the extensometer. Then increase the load uniformly until the extension re- corded by the extensometer is at least 0.7 %. Determine the load at 0.7 % extension from the load-strain curve. The stress corresponding to this load shall meet the requirements for stress at 0.7 5 extension prescribed in Table 1, depending on the class of coating under consideration. Hold the specimen at 0.7 % extension under load and remove the extensometer used to measure the stress at 0.7 % extension; then replace it with an elongation extensometer.

The ‘longation extensomeier may be constructed with less sensitive pais or be constructed in such a way that litle damage would result if fracture ‘eeurs while the extensometer i attached to the specimen, 5.3. Elongation—In determining total elongation (elastic plus plastic extension) autographic or extensometer methods ‘may be employed. If fracture takes place outside the middle third of the gage length, the elongation value obtained may not be representative of the materia 5.4 Tensile Sirength—The tensile strength is determined from the maximum load during the total clongation test 5.5 Ductility of Steel—The zine-coated wire, prior to fabrication into strand, shall be capable of being wrapped two turns in a close helix at a rate not exceeding 15 turns per minute around a cylindrical steel mandrel equal to three times the nominal diameter of the wire under test without fracture of the wire. 5.6 Weight of Zinc Coating—The weight of zinc coating ‘on the individual wires prior to fabrication of strand shall be ‘ot less than that specified in Table 3. 5.7 Adherence of Coating—The zinc-coated wire, prior 10 fabrication into strand, shall be capable of being wrapped two turns in 2 close helix ata rate not exceeding 15 turns per ‘minute around a cylindrical steel mandrel equal to five times the nominal diameter ofthe wire under test without cracking ‘or flaking the zinc coating to such an extent that any zinc can be removed by rubbing with the bare fingers. Loosening or detachment during the adherence test of superficial small particles of zinc formed by mechanical polishing of the sur- face of zinc-coated wire shall not be considered cause for rejection, 5.8 Ifany sample breaking within the arips or the jaws of the testing machine results in values below the specified ‘TABLE 3.

The properties of parallel wire strand shall be as agreed upon between the purchaser and the manufacturer. 7.3 When specified, the helical strand shall be pre- stretched under tension of not more than 55.% of the break- ing strength listed in Table 4. 7.4 The modulus of elasticity shall be as shown in Table S. 7.5 If specified, a test for modulus of elasticity shall be made on cach manufactured length of strand, The modulus of elasticity shall be determined from gage length of not less than 100 in. (2.54 m) and shall be computed on the sum of the gross metallic cross-sectional areas ofthe wire making up the strand, including the zinc coating. Throughout the range from 10 % to 50 % of the breaking strength listed in Table 4, the modulus of elasticity shall not be less than the value shown in Table 5 8. Joints and Splices 8.1. The wires shall be made in such lengths that the hel: cal strands can be manufactured with no splices or joints in the finished outer wires. Welds made in the outer wires prior to drawing are permitted. Splicing of the inner wires during the stranding operation is permissible. Joints in the wires of strand shall be dispersed sufficiently so as to maintain the ‘minimum breaking strength as listed in Table 4. When joints are necessary in any wires, they shall be made in accordance ‘with best known acceptable practices and shall be recoated i @ workmanlike manner with zine or a lead-zine compound containing a minimum of $0 % zinc. 9. Sampling and Testing 9.1 If specified, a test sample shall be taken from each manufactured length of strand and tested to the minimum. breaking strength. If it fails to meet the minimum breaking strength requirement, and has not broken in the cone or grips, two additional samples shall be cut from the same ‘manufactured length and tested. If either additional sample {ails the retest for breaking strength, the manufactured length in question shall be rejected. If both of these wo samples ‘pass the retest for breaking strength, the manufactured length in question shall be accepted. Any test, however, which fails due to faulty attaching of the sockets shall be disregarded. 10. Inspection 10.1_ All tests and inspection shall be made at the place of ‘manufacture unless otherwise specified and shali be so conducted as not to interfere unnecessarily with the opera- tions of the works. The manufacturer shall afford. the inspector representing the purchaser all reasonable facilities to satisfy him that the material is being furnished in accordance with this specification. When specified. inspec- tion may be waived, and certified copies of test reports furnished. HL Packagis Hit Structural strand shall be packaged in coils or on feels at the discretion of the manufacturer unless otherwise specified.
