15、ceeding 15 turns per minute around a cylindricalsteel mandrel equal to three times the nominal diameter of thewire under test without cracking or breaking of the wire.6.4 Weight of Zinc Coating or Zinc-5 % Aluminum-Mischmetal AlloyThe class of metallic coating weight shallbe specified by the purchas

16、er. The weight of the metalliccoating on the individual wires for the specified class andappropriate wire size shall not be less than that specified inTable 1 or Table 2 when tested in accordance with the strippingtest of Test Method A90/A90M.6.5 Adherence of CoatingThe individual metallic-coatedwir

17、es shall be capable of being wrapped two turns in a closehelix at a rate not exceeding 15 turns per minute around acylindrical steel mandrel equal to three times the nominaldiameter of the wire under test without the coating cracking orflaking to such an extent that any zinc or Zinc-5 % Aluminum-Mis

18、chmetal Alloy can be removed by rubbing with barefingers. Loosening or detachment during the adherence test ofsuperficial small particles of zinc or Zinc-5 % Aluminum-Mischmetal Alloy formed by mechanical polishing of thesurface of metallic-coated wire shall not be considered causefor rejection.6.6

19、AppearanceThe individual wires shall be cylindricalin form, of uniform quality, and free of imperfections notconsistent with good commercial practice. The coating shall becontinuous and reasonably uniform.7. Wire Rope7.1 The wire rope shall be right regular lay, preformed, andof the type of construc

20、tion shown in Table 3. A right lay isdefined as a clockwise twist away from the observer. The typeof construction shall be specified by the purchaser.8. Joints and Splices8.1 Individual WiresThe distance between joints in anytwo individual wires in a strand shall be not less than 18 in.(460 mm). Joi

21、nts in individual wires shall be either butt-weldedor brazed-lap type. Joints made by butt welding shall have allflash removed. When the brazed-lap type of joint is used, thelength of the lap shall be not less than three times the diameterof the wire and the overlapping faces shall be smooth, clean,

Each reel shall have the length, nominal diam-eter, type of strand construction, weight of rope, and name ortrademark of the manufact

36、urer plainly and indelibly marked ona strong tag, firmly attached, or this information shall bepainted on the reel. The wooden reel shall be mountable so thatit will revolve and the rope will run off by pulling straightahead.12. Fittings12.1 The fittings shall be of the design called for in the plan
