assesses the strand for tensile strength when stressed
around a pin. Results well in excess of 80% of the uni- 200
axial breaking force are routinely obtained (equivalent to

a D value of less than 0,2 when reported as required by
the FIP). These results indicate that the strand is suitable
for multi-axial stressing applications.

PC Wire
Scaw produce PC wire on three modern low relaxation
production lines. Finishes available are plain and indented.
In addition to the wire sizes and grades listed in the loose
leaf inserts, other special grades are available on request.

Packaging
Packaging Specifications
In the despatch area both wire and strand products are
packaged according to destination and to customer
requirements. Strand may be palletised or mounted eye-
to-the-side. An additional corrosion protecting treatment
may be applied if requested. Test lengths may be
packaged outside the strapping for easy access, or may
be cut off and wrapped separately with individual pack
identity labels and then shipped inside the eye of the pack.
