ASTM B803-02 - 10.10.2002
 
1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers round, high strength, zinc-5 % aluminum-mischmetal (Zn-5A1-MM) alloy-coated, steel core wire with Class A Zn-5A1-MM alloy coating used for mechanical reinforcement in the manufacture of special aluminum and aluminum-alloy conductors, steel reinforced.

1.2 This specification covers wire of diameter from 0.0500 to 0.1900 in. inclusive.

1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with this specification.
