All wires shall be stranded with uniform tension.Stranding shall be sufficiently close to ensure no appreciablereduction in diameter when st

32、 concentrically twisted over it with a uniform pitchof not more than 16 times the specified nominal diameter of thestrand.6.4 The 19-wire strand shall consist of a center wire with a6-wire layer concentrically twisted over it, having a right layand a uniform pitch of not more than 16 times the nomin

33、aldiameter of this 7-wire core. The nominal diameter of this7-wire core shall be considered to be three times the nominaldiameter of the wires. A 12-wire outer layer, having a left layshall be concentrically twisted over the 7-wire core and shallhave a uniform pitch of not more than 16 times the spe

34、cifiednominal diameter of the strand.6.5 The 37-wire strand shall consist of a center wire with a6-wire layer concentrically twisted over it having a left lay anda uniform pitch of not more than 16 times the nominal diameterof this 7-wire inner core. The nominal diameter of this 7-wireinner core sha

35、ll be considered to be three times the nominaldiameter of the wire. An intermediate layer of 12 wires havinga right lay shall be concentrically twisted over this 7-wire coreand shall have a uniform pitch of not more than 16 times thenominal diameter of this 19-wire core. The nominal diameterof this

36、19-wire core shall be considered as five times thenominal diameter of the wires. An 18-wire outer layer, havinga left lay shall be concentrically twisted over the 19-wire coreand shall have a uniform pitch of not more than 16 times thespecified nominal diameter of the strand.6.6 All wires in the str

37、and shall lie naturally in their truepositions in the completed strand and, when the strand is cut,the ends shall remain in position to be readily replaced by handand then remain in position. This may be accomplished by anymeans or process, such as preforming, post forming, or formsetting.7. Breakin

38、g Strength and Weight7.1 The approximate weight per unit length of strand andthe minimum breaking strength of the finished strand shall beas specified in Table 1.7.2 A test in which the breaking strength is below theminimum specified and which may have been caused by theslipping of the specimen in t

39、he 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. Tests shall be made on lengths of strand that do notcontain wire joints or spl

40、ices.8. Elongation8.1 The elongation of the strand in 24 in. 610 mm shall benot less than that specified in Table 3.8.2 The elongation shall be determined as the percentincrease in separation between the jaws of the testing machinefrom the position after application of the initial load to thepositio

41、n at the initial failure in the test specimen. The separa-tion of the jaws of the testing machine shall be approximately2 ft when under an initial load equal to 10 % of the requiredminimum breaking strength of the strand. The elongationvalues shall be recorded only for specimens that break over1 in.

42、 from the jaws of the testing machine. Additional samplesshall be taken from the same coil or reel when the previoustests are to be disregarded.8.3 Elongation tests shall be made on lengths of strand thatdo not contain wire joints or splices.9. Ductility of Steel9.1 The Zn-5 Al-MM alloy-coated wire

43、shall not fracturewhen wrapped at a rate not exceeding 15 turns per minute in aclose helix of at least two turns around a cylindrical mandrel.The mandrel diameter for testing Common and Siemens-Martin Grade strand shall be equal to the nominal diameter ofthe individual wires of the strand.
