Mechanical Property Requirements Mechanical PropertyRequirements6.1 GeneralDeformed wire shall be supplied in coils tothe specified mechanical properties in Table 1. It shall bepermissible to furnish nominal diamete

Other values of bre

17、aking strength and nominal diameters canbe specified if shown by test that the strength exceeds thatspecified. The tension test shall be made in accordance withTest Methods A 370.6.3 Load at 1 % ExtensionThe load at 1 % extension shallbe at least 85 % of the minimum specified breaking strength forst

Requirements for Deformations7.1 DeformationsDeformations shall be in two or morelines spaced uniformly around the wire an

21、d one line ofdeformations may be inclined in the opposite direction to theother(s). The deformations shall be placed in respect to the axisof the wire so that the included angle is not less than 45, asshown in Fig. 1. Pitch and shape shall be as consistent aspossible, with not more than 10 % being m

22、alformed in any 600mm (2 ft) length of wire, judged visually.7.2 TypeTwo acceptable types of deformed wire areshown in Fig. 1(a) and (b), with dimensions in Table 3.7.3 OptionsOther types of deformed wire are permittedby agreement, provided the wire is comparable with theaccepted types in mechanical

23、 properties and bond with con-crete.8. Permissible Variation in Dimensions8.1 The diameter of the deformed wire shall not vary fromthe nominal diameter by more than 60.08 mm (60.003 in.).8.2 The deformed wire shall not be out-of-round by morethan 0.08 mm (0.003 in.). (Measured at maximum indent.)9.

24、Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance9.1 The wire shall be free of kinks.9.2 The wire shall be furnished in firmly tied coils. Each coilshall be of one continuous length.9.3 There shall be no welds or joints in the finished wire.Any welds or joints made during manufacture to promotecontinuity of opera

25、tions shall be removed.9.4 Cast (Curvature)The curvature of the wire shall belarge enough to suit the purchaser but shall normally be 75 mm(3 in.) maximum offset on a chord 1.8 m (6 ft) long.9.5 The wire shall not be oiled or greased and must beessentially free of residual wire-drawing lubricants. S

26、lightrusting, providing it is not sufficient to cause pits visible to theunaided eye, shall not be cause for rejection.10. Sampling10.1 Unless otherwise agreed upon between the manufac-turer and the purchaser, one test specimen shall be taken fromeach ten coils or less in a lot (see Note 2) and test

27、ed todetermine compliance with 6.2 to 6.5 and deformation dimen-sions.NOTE 2The term “lot” means all the coils of wire of the same nominalwire diameter contained in an individual shipping release or shippingorder.11.

32、 the manufacturer shall afford the inspector repre-senting the purchaser all reasonable facilities to satisfy him thatthe material is being furnished in accordance with this speci-fication. All tests and inspections shall be made at the place ofmanufacture prior to shipment, unless otherwise agreed

33、upon atthe time of purchase, and shall be so conducted as not tointerfere unnecessarily with the operation of the works.12. Rejection12.1 In case a test specimen fails to meet any requirement ofthis specification, two additional tests shall be made onsamples of wire from the same coil and if failure

34、 occurs ineither of these tests, the coil shall be rejected.12.2 Unless otherwise specified, any rejection based on testsmade in accordance with this specification shall be reported tothe manufacturer within a reasonable length of time.13.
