46、 zinc-coated steel wireEXPLANATORY NOTESNOTE 1Steel wire cannot be produced to exact specified lengths.Since welding of steel wires for use in electrical conductors is notaccepted, the random lengths of wire that results from normal productioncan result in otherwise good product being rejected and s

47、crapped. 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 to 5 % of the purchased quantity with an

48、ysingle piece being not less than 50 % of the specified length.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.
