Scope

1.1 This specification covers round, zinc-coated, steel core wire with three classes of zinc 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.
