ASTM B802/B802M : 02

Standard Specification for Zinc-5% Aluminum-Mischmetal Alloy-Coated Steel Core Wire for Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced (ACSR)

Standard Details

1.1 This specification covers round, zinc-5 % aluminum-mischmetal (Zn-5A1-MM) alloy-coated, steel core wire with three classes of Zn-5A1-MM coating used for mechanical reinforcement in the manufacture of aluminum conductors, steel reinforced (ACSR).

1.2 This specification covers wire of diameter from 0.0500 to 0.1900 in. or 1.60 to 4.80 mm, 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.
