6 Manufacture
6.4 General
The strand shall be manufactured from wire produced from wire rod conforming to EN 10016-t and EN 10016-
2 ot EN 10016-4 and from steel in accordance with prEN 10138-1
62 Stranding process
6.2.1 2wire strand
The strand shail consist of two wires of the same nominal diameter, spun together in helical form over a
theoretical common axis with a lay length of 14 to 22 times the nominal strand diameter.
‘The strand shall consist of three wires of the same nominal diameter, spun together in helical form over a
theoretical common axis with a lay length of 14 to 22 times the nominal strand diameter.
6.2.3 7-wire strand
The strand shall include a straight central wire, called a core wire around which are spun six wires in one layer
‘The outer wires shall be tightly spun around the central wire with a lay length between 14 and 18 times the
nominal strand diameter. The diameter of the central wire shall be at least 3,0 % greater than the diameter of
the outer helical wires
6.2.4 7-wire compacted strand
Seven wire strand which after stranding has been compacted by drawing or rolling before stress relief
treatment. When stranding and compacting are carried out simultaneously, the straight central wire shall be at
'sast the same diameter as the outer helical wires. The latter shall have a lay length of 14 to 18 times the
nominal strand diameter
6.3. Indented strand
Indentation of wires of S-wire strand or the indented outer wires of 7-wire strand shall be completed before
stranding,
NOTE 1 The centre wice of indented 7nire strand is normally plain
Phe dimensions of the indentation shall be in accordance with Table 2 and Figure 1. One line of indentations.
shail be at a contrary angle to the others,
HOTE 2 Other types of indentation may be presented but should be fully specified in a similar manner to Table
Figure 1 by the producer and accepted by the purchaser

7 Requirements
7.4 General
Nominal and specified properties shall be in accordance with Tables 3, 4 and §,
7.2 Beha
ur during cutting
When the strand is cut with a disc cutter, the individual wires either shall not unravel or shall be capable of
Ing repositioned without difficulty
7.3 Straightness
Straightness shail be determined in accordance with EN ISO 15630-3. The maximum bow height from a base
line 1m in length, measured from the inside of the curve, shall be not greater than 25 mm for all strand
diameters.
NOTE Alternative agroements on straightness including for cut lengths using the methed in EN 1SO 15620-3 may be
made between producer and purchaser at the time of erdering‘s0uc) vanwixew 8 jo onjea ansue;oeIe49 payloads eu JO % 68 SB SVOIa\EIP He 30) ESOOITA HUE ESDSOZA E5026!
