If aluminum alloy wire is used, theparticular alloy shall be agreed upon between the manufacturerand the purchaser at the time the

30、order is placed.6.2 Coating MaterialsThe coating on the wire shall con-form with the requirements of the following specifications:6.2.1 Coating Type A Aluminum-coated wire in accor-dance with Specification A809.6.2.2 Coating Type Z Zinc-coated wire in accordance withSpecification A641/A641M.6.2.3 Co

31、ating Type ZA Zinc-5 % aluminum-mischmetalalloy (Zn-5Al-MM) coated wire in accordance with Specifica-tion A856/A856M.6.3 Coated Wire The steel wire shall be coated beforefabrication.6.3.1 Weight of Coating Requirements for Strand WiresThe strand wires for Types Z and ZA barbed wire, asrepresented by

32、 the test specimens, shall conform to therequirements of Tables 2 and 3 respectively for the minimumcoating weight for the type and class ordered. The strand wiresfor Type A barbed wire, as represented by the test specimens,shall have a minimum coating weight of 0.30 oz/ft2(90 g/m2)on the 1212 gage

33、wire.6.3.2 Weight of Coating Requirements for BarbsThe wirefor barbs for Types Z and ZA barbed wire, as represented bythe test specimens, shall conform to the same coating classrequirements as the strand wire. The steel wire for barbs forType A barbed wire, as represented by the test specimens, shal

34、lhave a minimum coating weight of 0.25 oz/ft2(75 g/m2)onthe14gage wire.7. General Requirements7.1 The sizes and constructions for barbed wire furnishedunder this specification shall be in accordance with therequirements of Table 1 for the Design Number specified in theorder, within the tolerances st

35、ated in Section 8.7.2 The barbs shall be sharp, well-formed, and tightlywrapped. The barb points shall be sharp and properly shaped.7.3 The strand wires shall be twisted with a uniform lengthof lay. Type Z and Type ZA barbed wire shall have the twistingconsistently in one direction (left or right) o

36、r alternatingbetween the left and right directions. Type A barbed wire shallhave the twisting consistently in either the left or rightdirection, with alternating of the twisting prohibited.7.4 Splicing of individual wires by means of a wrap joint oran electric butt weld is permitted. Not more than t

37、hree splicesor joints shall exist in any spool of barbed wire. Such splices orjoints shall be made in a workmanlike manner.7.5 The barbed wire, for the various types, shall be pack-aged on spools in lengths as follows:7.5.1 Type A80 rods (1320 ft) (402 m) or 1000 ft (305 m).7.6 Types Z and ZA 80 rod

38、s (1320 ft) (402 m) or 80 rodsplus additional increments of 10 rods (165 ft) (50 m).7.7 Breaking StrengthThe breaking strength of thestranded barbed wire, for all types, shall be not less than 950lbf (4230 N). This breaking strength reflects that of both strandwires tested together as one unit.8. Pe

39、rmissible Variations in Dimensions8.1 DiameterThe permissible variation from the nominaldiameter of the wire, for both line wires and barbs, for alltypes, shall be 60.005 in. (0.13 mm)8.1.1 Due to the mechanics of manufacture when formingthe barbs, a certain amount of out-of-roundness is expected.Th

40、e size and condition precludes barbs from being subjected todiameter checks.8.2 Barb Spacing The nominal spacing of the barbs shallbe as noted in Table 1. The individual barb spacing shall bemeasured from the edge of one barb at the strand to thecorresponding edge of the adjacent barb. Cumulative sp

41、acing isestablished by counting the total number of barbs in a 25-ft(7.6-m) length of barbed wire. Barbs are subject to relocationduring fabrication and handling, potentially leading to rejec-tions with rigid interpretation of the spacing requirement.Therefore, barb spacing shall be considered accep

42、table underthe following conditions:8.2.1 The sample has 93.5 % of the individual barb spacingsconforming to the specified spacing 634 in. (19 mm), and8.2.2 A sample length of 25 ft (7.6 m) of barbed wirecontains:8.2.2.1 A minimum of 86 barbs for 3-in. (76-mm) spacing,8.2.2.2 A minimum of 69 barbs f

43、or 4-in. (102-mm) spacing,or8.2.2.3 A minimum of 55 barbs for 5-in. (127-mm) spacing.8.3 Barb LengthThe barb length, measured from thecenter of the two strand wires, shall be38 in. (9.5 mm)minimum (see Fig. 1). A barb is considered under length if anyFIG. 1 Example of a Complete BarbA121 133of its b

44、arb points as specified in Table 1 does not meet thisminimum length.8.3.1 Within a 25-ft (7.6-m) length of sample, 95 % of thebarbs shall meet the minimum barb length.9. Sampling and Testing9.1 SamplingFor the purpose of tests, select one spool atrandom from every 50 spools or fraction thereof in a

45、lot, or atotal of seven samples, whichever is less. A lot shall consist ofall spools of a single construction (Design Number) of barbedwire offered for delivery at the same time.9.2 Test Specimens for Physical TestsCut a 4-ft (1.2-m)length of barbed wire from the end of each spool for testsprescribe

46、d in Sections 6 and 7. Determine the breaking strengthvalue by testing the twisted strand as composite. Test eachstrand wire individually for weight of coating.9.3 Testing for Weight of Coating Coating weight forTypes Z and ZA shall be determined in accordance with TestMethod A90/A90M. Coating weigh

47、t for Type A shall bedetermined in accordance with Test Method A428/A428M.Perform testing either before or after fabrication for the strandwires and for Type A steel barbs. Perform testing prior tofabrication for Type Z and ZAbarbs, and certify the test results.9.4 Pretesting of WireInstead of testi

48、ng wire for breakingstrength and weight of coating from the completed barbed wirein accordance with 9.2, the manufacturer, at his election, shallestablish compliance with the requirements in Sections 6 and 7by tests made on wire prior to fabrication. If the manufacturermakes this election, the purch

49、aser still has the right to test wirefrom the completed barbed wire for compliance. It is recog-nized that during fabrication the barb is mechanically deformedand scraped, and some differences are likely in coating weightresults on barbs tested before and after fabrication.9.5 Inspection for General Workmanship For the purposeof inspection, a maximum of two spools from the lot, asdescribed in 9.1, shall be subjected to observations for barblength and spacing, overall length, and workmanship.9.5.1 Instead o
