2、last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers plain and
3、 deformed steel wireand plain and deformed steel welded wire reinforcement withprotective epoxy coating. A Class A minimum coating thick-ness is required for wire and welded wire reinforcementintended for use in concrete and masonry. A Class B minimumcoating thickness is required for wire and welded
4、 wire rein-forcement intended for use in mechanically stabilized earthapplications. A Type 1 coating is a fusion-bonded epoxycoating that has been designed to be sufficiently flexible toallow fabrication of the coated wire or welded wire reinforce-ment. A Type 2 coating is a fusion-bonded epoxy coat
5、ing thathas not been designed to be sufficiently flexible to allowfabrication of the coated wire or welded wire reinforcement.NOTE 1The coating applicator is identified throughout this specifica-tion as the manufacturer.1.2 Other organic coatings may be used provided they meetthe requirements of thi
6、s specification.1.3 This specification is applicable for orders in either SIunits (Specification A 884M) or in inch-pound units Specifi-cation A 884.1.4 The values stated in either SI or inch-pound units are tobe regarded as standard. Within the text, the inch-pound unitsare shown in brackets. The v
7、alues stated in each system are notexact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used inde-pendently of the other except as specifically noted in Table 1.Combining values from the two systems may result in noncon-formance with this specification.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all
8、of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
