The base metal for aluminum barbs (permitted withmetallic Coating Type A) shall be aluminum alloy wireconforming to

31、 Alloy 5000-H38, Alloy 6061-T94, or equal.6.1.1 For Coating TypeAbarbed wire, the choice of whetheraluminum-coated steel wire or aluminum alloy wire for thebarbs shall be that of the manufacturer, unless otherwisespecified by the purchaser. If aluminum alloy wire is used, theparticular alloy shall b

32、e agreed upon between the manufacturerand the purchaser at the time the 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 Typ

33、e Z Zinc-coated wire in accordance withSpecification A641/A641M.6.2.3 Coating 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 Stran

34、d WiresThe strand wires for Types Z and ZA barbed wire, asrepresented by 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,shal

35、l have a minimum coating weight of 0.30 oz/ft2(90 g/m2)on the 1212 gage 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

36、 barbs forType A barbed wire, as represented by the test specimens, shallhave 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

37、 1 for the Design Number specified in theorder, within the tolerances stated 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 wir

38、e shall have the twistingconsistently in one direction (left or right) or 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 mea

39、ns of a wrap joint oran electric butt weld is permitted. Not more than three 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

40、 A80 rods (1320 ft) (402 m) or 1000 ft (305 m).7.6 Types Z and ZA 80 rods (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 stre

41、ngth reflects that of both strandwires tested together as one unit.8. Permissible 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 wh

42、en formingthe barbs, a certain amount of out-of-roundness is expected.The 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

43、 the strand to thecorresponding edge of the adjacent barb. Cumulative spacing 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 t

44、he spacing requirement.Therefore, barb spacing shall be considered acceptable 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 minim

45、um of 86 barbs for 3-in. (76-mm) spacing,8.2.2.2 A minimum of 69 barbs for 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 conside

46、red under length if anyof its barb 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 s

47、pools or fraction thereof in a 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 o

48、f each spool for testsprescribed in Sections 6 and 7. Determine the breaking strengthvalue by testing the twisted strand as composite. Test eachstrand wire individually for weight of coating.A121 13 (2017)39.3 Testing for Weight of Coating Coating weight forTypes Z and ZA shall be determined in acco

49、rdance with TestMethod A90/A90M. Coating weight 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 testing wire for breakingstrength and weight of coating from the completed barbed wirein accordance with 9.2, the manufacturer, at his election, shallestablish compliance
