47、erwise good product being rejected and scrapped. In orderto reduce cost, the purchaser and manufacturer should, at the time ofpurchase, have an agreed upon method to permit the acceptance of oddlengths of steel wire.Atypical agreement would be to permit lengths otherthan the specified length for up

48、to 5 % of the purchased quantity with anysingle piece being not less than 50 % of the specified length.SUMMARY OF CHANGESCommittee B01 has identified the location of selected changes to this standard since the last issue (B 498/B498M 98 (2002) that may impact the use of this standard.
