ASTM B803-98 - 10.9.1998
 
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 SI values for resistivity are regarded as standard. For all other properties the inch-pound units are regarded as standard and the SI units may be approximate.
