7、ity that when drawn to the size of wire specifiedand coated with zinc, the finished strand will have theproperties and characteristics prescribed in this specification.5.2 The slab zinc when used for the coating shall be anygrade of zinc conforming to Specification B6.6. Stranding6.1 The strand shal

8、l have a left lay with a uniform pitch ofnot more than 16 times the nominal diameter of the strand. Aleft lay is defined as a counter-clockwise twist away from theobserver. Stranding shall be sufficiently close to ensure nosignificant reduction in diameter when stressed to 10 % of theminimum breakin

9、g strength.7. Preforming Strand7.1 Preformed strand shall be supplied when so specified bythe purchaser. Strand is preformed when the component wiresare set to the helical form which they assume in the product byany means of process other than by merely laying them aboutthe strand core.8. Breaking S

10、trength and Weight8.1 The approximate weight per unit length of strand andthe minimum breaking strength of the finished strand shall beas specified in Table 1.8.2 A test in which the breaking strength is below theminimum specified and which may have been caused by theslipping of the specimen in the

11、jaws of the testing machine, bybreaking within the jaws or within 1 in. (25.4 mm) of the jaws,or by the improper socketing of a specimen shall be disre-garded and another sample from the same coil or reel shall betested.9. Elongation9.1 The elongation of the strand in 24 in. (610 mm),determined as s

12、pecified in 9.2, shall be not less than 5 % for thehigh-strength and for the516-in. (7.94-mm), 3-wire utilitiesgrades, and 4 % for the extra-high-strength and for the -in.(9.52-mm), 7-wire Utilities grades.9.2 The elongation shall be measured as the percentageincrease in separation between the jaws

Ductility of Steel10.1 The individual wires of the completed strand shall notfracture when wrapped at a rate not exceeding 15 turns perminute in a close helix of at least two turns around a cylindricalmandrel equal to three times the nominal diameter of the wireunder test.11.

17、 Weight of Coating11.1 The weight of zinc coating shall not be less than thatspecified in Table 2.11.2 Weight of Coating TestThe zinc coating shall betested for weight by a stripping test in accordance with TestMethod A90/A90M.12. Adherence of Coating12.1 The zinc coating shall adhere to the wire wi

18、thoutdelaminating and without being removable by rubbing with thebare fingers after the individual wires have been wrapped at arate not exceeding 15 turns per minute, in a close helix of atleast two turns around a cylindrical mandrel equal to threetimes the nominal diameter of the wire under test. L

19、oosening ordetachment during the adhesion tests of superficial, smallparticles of zinc formed by mechanical polishing of the surfaceof zinc-coated wire shall not be considered cause for rejection.13. Joints and Splices13.1 There shall be no joints of any kind made in thefinished wire entering into t

20、he construction of the strand.13.2 Electric-welded butt joints made prior to the start ofcold drawing of the wire are permitted; however, no electric-welded butt joints of the wire shall be made during the colddrawing application.13.3 There shall be no strand joints or strand splices in anylength of

21、 the completed strand.14. Permissible Variations in Wire Size14.1 The diameter of the zinc-coated wire forming thestrand shall conform to the nominal diameter shown in Table 1within a tolerance of 60.004 in. (0.102 mm) for Wire Sizes0.104 in. (2.642 mm) and 0.120 in. (3.048 mm) and 60.005 in.(0.127

22、mm) for Wire Sizes 0.145 in. (3.683 mm) and 0.165 in.(4.191 mm).15. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance15.1 The zinc-coated wire shall be uniform in diameter andshall be free from splints, scales, inequalities, flaws, and otherimperfections not consistent with good commercial practice.The coating sh

23、all be continuous and reasonably uniform.16. Sampling16.1 The number of samples to be taken shall be determinedby lot size as follows:Lot Size Number of Samples1 to 3 reels 1 from each reel4to30reels 3min31 reels or greater 4 min16.2 Each sample taken shall be subjected to all testsprescribed in Sec

24、tions 6, 8, and 9.16.3 In addition to the strand testing in 16.2 the individualwires from the strand samples shall be tested for compliancewith Sections 10, 11, 12, and 14. Select all three wires inthree-wire strand, and four of the wires in seven-wire strand.Individual wire samples selected for com

25、pliance to Section 14shall be discarded if any distortion of the wire occurred duringthe stranding operation.16.4 Instead of testing the wires from the completed strandin accordance with 16.3, the producer may elect to establishcompliance with Sections 10, 11, 12, and 14 of this specifica-tion by te

26、sts made on the wires prior to stranding, unlessotherwise stipulated by the purchaser. However, if the producermakes this election, the purchaser shall still reserve the right totest wires from the completed strand for compliance.TABLE 1 Physical Properties of Zinc-Coated Steel Overhead Ground Wire

29、.AIt is recognized that the surfaces of heavy zinc coating, particularly those produced by hot galvanizing, are not perfectly smooth and devoid of irregularities. If thetolerances shown above are rigidly applied to such irregularities that are inherent to the product, unjustified rejections of wire

30、that would actually be satisfactory for usecould occur. Therefore, it is intended that these tolerances be used in gaging the uniform areas of the galvanized wire.TABLE 2 Minimum Weights of CoatingNominal Diameterof Coated Wire,in.
