Classification4.1 The strand is classified by the minimum breakingstrength and number of wires in the strand as stated

5、in Table 1.5. Ordering Information5.1 Orders for material under this specification shall includethe following information:5.1.1 Quantity of strand in feet.5.1.2 Breaking strength and number of wires in strand (4.1and Table 1).5.1.3 Package size of coils or reels from Table 2.5.1.4 ASTM designation a

6、nd year of issue.6. Materials and Manufacture6.1 Each wire in the strand shall be composed of a steel coremade from steel produced by any commercially-acceptedsteel-making process, with a substantially uniform and con-tinuous copper cladding thoroughly bonded to it throughout.The thickness and adher

7、ence of the copper cladding on thefinished wire shall comply with the requirements prescribed inthis specification.6.2 Each wire in the strand shall be of such quality that,when drawn to the size specified in Table 1 and whenfabricated into strand, the finished copper-clad steel wire strandshall hav

8、e the properties and characteristics prescribed in thisspecification.7. Stranding7.1 The strand shall consist of either 3 or 7 wires and, unlessotherwise specified, shall have a left lay with a uniform pitch.In 3-wire strand, the pitch shall be not less than 12 nor morethan 20 times the nominal diam

9、eter of the strand. In 7-wirestrand, the pitch shall be not less than 10 nor more than 16times the nominal diameter of the strand. A left lay is definedas a counter-clockwise twist away from the observer lookingalong the axis of the strand. All wires shall be stranded withuniform tension.7.2 All wir

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

11、ng.8. Joints and Splices8.1 Joints or splices may be made prior to final wire drawingin individual finished wires composing the strand, providedthat such joints or splices have protection from corrosionequivalent to that of the copper-clad wire itself and that they donot decrease the strength of the

12、 finished strand below theminimum breaking strength shown in Table 1. A joint or spliceshall be not closer than 50 ft (15.2 m) to any other wire jointor splice in the strand.8.2 The finished strand shall not be joined or spliced as aunit, unless specifically permitted by the purchaser.9. Thickness o

13、f Copper Cladding9.1 The minimum thickness of the copper cladding at anypoint around the circumference of the wires taken from thefinished strand shall be not less than 8 % of the wire radius.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A05 onMetallic-Coated Iron and Steel Product

16、s.9.2 The copper thickness shall be determined by either ofthe following:9.2.1 By direct measurements of cross sections of the wires,the ends of the specimens having been ground smooth,polished, and etched before being measured microscopically,or9.2.2 By means of a suitable electrical indicating ins

17、trumentoperating on the permeameter principle.10. Sampling10.1 For the purpose of inspecting the strand, tests shall bemade on representative samples. For lots of 10 000 lb (4536kg) or less, two samples shall be taken from separate reels orcoils in the lot, except that only one sample shall be requi

18、redwhere the total length of the strand is 5000 ft (1524 m) or less.For lots over 10 000 lb (4536 kg) one sample from each 10 000lb (4536 kg) or fraction thereof shall be taken, but theminimum number of samples shall be three.11. Breaking Strength11.1 The breaking strength of the finished strand sha

19、ll be notless than that specified in Table 1.11.2 When the breaking strength is below the minimumspecified, the cause of which may have been due to slipping ofthe specimen in the jaws of the testing machine, breakingwithin the jaws or within 1 in. (25.4 mm) of the jaws, or theimproper socketing of a

20、 specimen, the results of the test shallbe disregarded and another sample from the same coil or reelshall be tested.12. Elongation12.1 The elongation shall be not less than 1.5 % and shall bemeasured on a gage length of not less than 24 in. (610 mm) offinished strand which does not contain wire join

21、ts or splices.Elongation shall be determined by measurements made be-tween the jaws of the testing machine or by an extensometer atthe option of the manufacturer, unless otherwise agreed upon atthe time of purchase.12.2 When the elongation is so determined, the gage lengthshall be the distance betwe

22、en the jaws of the testing machinewhen a load equal to 10 % of the minimum breaking strengthshall have been applied, and the final length shall be thedistance between the jaws at the time of fracture of any wire.The fracture shall be between the jaws of the testing machineand not closer than 1 in. (

23、25.4 mm) to either jaw, otherwise thetest shall be disregarded.12.3 When used, the extensometer shall be attached to thetest specimen at a tension load equal to 10 % of minimumbreaking strength. The elongation shall be observed whileapplying a tension load to the specimen, and the reading whenfractu

24、re occurs shall be taken as the elongation of the speci-men. Tests in which the extensometer reading is less than1.5 %, but in which the fracture does not occur between thetwo attachments of the extensometer to the specimen, shall bedisregarded.12.4 Additional samples shall be taken from the same co

25、ilor reel when the previous tests are to be disregarded as statedin 12.2 and 12.3.13. Torsion Test13.1 Specimens of finished wires taken before strandingshall withstand without fracture not less than 20 twists in alength equivalent to 100 times the nominal diameter of thespecimen. The rate of applyi

26、ng the twists shall be approxi-mately 15 turns per minute, all twists to be made in the samedirection.13.2 Wire specimens shall be twisted to destruction andshall not reveal any seams, pits, slivers, or surface imperfec-tions such that performance of the strand would be impaired.Examination of the w

27、ire at the break shall show no separationof the copper from the steel visible to the naked eye (normaleyeglasses excepted).14. Wrap Test14.1 When agreed upon at the time of purchase, samples ofindividual wires taken from the finished strand shall withstandwithout fracture, eight complete turns wrapp

28、ed on itself in aclose helix or on a mandrel whose diameter shall be equal tothe nominal diameter of the wire.TABLE 1 Physical Properties of Copper-Clad Steel Wire StrandsMinimum Breaking Strengthof Strand, lbf (N)Number of Wiresin StrandNominal Diameter ofStrand, in.
