Since the many gauge systems in use maycause confusion, the purchaser is encouraged to specify wire diameters in inches or decimal parts, or both.3.1.3(English Units

The extent of the changes in the pro
24、perties ofthe wire after cold straightening depends upon the kind of wire and also on the normal variations in the adjustments of thestraightening equipment. It is therefore not possible to forecast the properties of straightened and cut wire and each kind of wireneeds individual consideration. In m
