Coefficient of linear expansion 11,5 x 10° K Modulus of elasticity 207 000 Nimm* Resistivity at 20°C 192 nom NOTE For more accurate calculations, measured values may be used. 5 Material The steel wires shall have the properties specified hereinafter. The slab zinc shall be of 99,85 % minimum zinc content. The coating on the wires may de applied by the hot dip or electrolytic process, as agreed between the purchaser and manufacturer. 6 Wire surface The wire surface, before and after coating, shall be free from cracks, holes, inclusions of impurities, and any other imperfections which may detract from its functional performance as a wire for an electrical conductor. 7 Diameter and tolerance on diameter The diameter of the zinc-coated stee! wire, expressed to two decimal places, shall not depart from the nominal diameter by more than the tolerance given in Tables 3 to 8. 8 Length and tolerance on length Unless otherwise agreed between the purchaser and manufacturer, steel wires shall be supplied with a minimum length specified by the purchaser with a permitted variation of “} %, Random lengths shorter or longer than this requirement are only acceptable if prior agreement between the purchaser and manufacturer is made. 9 Joints Joints are allowed in the base hot rolled rod and senti-finished wire by the electric butt or flash welding process, before or after heat treatment and prior to final drawing. Joints which have been made in rod or during processing shall, after drawing to the final diameter, have a minimum tensile strength not less than 80 % of that obtained on a test on wire which has not been jointed ‘The manufacturer shall demonstrate that the proposed welding method is capable of meeting the specified requirements. Other required values for such wires are not changed except that the finished wire from that portion of the rod which was welded shall not be required to pass ductility wrapping tests. When the zinc coating has been removed in the course of welding prior to final drawing, the wire shall be suitably recoated by agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer. No joints of any kind shall be made in the coated siee! wires at final diameter. © BSI 05.2000STD.BSI BS EN SOLS9-ENGL 2000 MM Ub24bb9 DA4bbs) ThY Page 6 EN 50189:2000 No joint shall be made after heat treatment in wires destined to be used in conductors contai only one steel wire. A drum or coll containing wire which has been welded after heat treatment shall be clearly marked 10 Sampling One sample for tests shall be taken, in accordance with EN 10021, by the manufacturer from at least 10 % of the individual lengths of coated steel wire. In cases of wire supply in large quantities and where the manufacturer has a demonstrated capability of meeting or exceeding the requirements, the number of test samples may be reduced, with the agreement of the purchaser and the manufacturer, to a level which ensures that each production lot of wire is given adequate 11 Tests 411.4 Visual test When inspected with the naked, or normally corrected eye the surface of the wire shall be free from cracks, holes, and inclusions of impurities. 11.2 Diameter The minimum and maximum diameter shall be determined at the same cross section. Each of these measurements shall lie within the tolerance given in Tables 3 to 8. It Is recognised that the surface of zinc coatings, patticularly those produced by hot dip Galvanizing, are not perfectly smooth and free from irregularities. It is, therefore, intended that these tolerances be used in measuring the diameters within the uniform areas of zinc-coated wire. For calculation of the cross-sectional area, the mean of the two measurements shall be used. 14.3 Stress at 1% extension The test shall be made in accordance with EN 1002-1 on the coated wire at final diameter. One specimen from each of the test samples shall be gripped in the Jaws of the tensile machine. An initial load equivalent to the initial stress given in Table 1 shall be applied and an extensometer applied on a 250 mm gauge length and adjusted to the initial setting given in Table 1 (other gauge lengths may be used if agreed between the purchaser and the manufacturer. In this case the initial setting of the extensometer shall be adjusted according to the note in Table 1). The gauge length shall be marked on the wire prior to application of load when it is required for subsequent measurements. The distance between the jaw and the gauge length mark shall be at least 25 mm. © BS! 05-2000STD-BSI BS EN SOLS9-ENGL 2000 MM Ub24bb9 DS4bba2 STO Ml Page 7 EN 50189:2000 Table 1 - Initial stress and extensometer settings for deterr of stress at 1 % extension Nominal wire diameter Initial stro Initial setting of extensometer for a ‘am ‘gauge length of 250 mm" ‘Over Up to and imme including 124 2.25 100 0728 225 3,00 200 0,250 3.08 475 300 075 475 | 5.50 400 0,500 * For other gauge lengins, multiply the inal seiting By the gauge length im mm divided by 250.
