ASTM A817-12 - 1.9.2012
 
1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers metallic-coated carbon steel wire used in the manufacture of chain-link fence fabric and marcelled tension wire. Three types of coatings are covered:

1.1.1 Type I—Aluminum-coated (aluminized),

1.1.2 Type II—Zinc-coated (galvanized), and

1.1.3 Type III—Zinc-5 % Aluminum-Mischmetal (Zn-5Al-MM) alloy-coated.

1.2 The chain-link fabric woven from wire in this specification is covered separately by Specifications A491 for Type I, A392 for Type II, and F1345 for Type III.

1.3 The marcelled tension wire manufactured from wire in this specification is covered separately in Specifications A824 and F1664.

1.4 This specification does not cover the wire used for Specification A392 when the chain-link fence producer applies the coating after the weaving process.

1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are provided for information only.
