Standard Terminology Relating to
Barbed Tape
This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1379; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope cross section, n—shows the width and thickness of material,
including the center section’s shape, core diameter, and core

specifiers and end-users to give a general understanding of the
types, sizes, and configuration of barbed tape.
2. Terminology
attachment points, n—points where alternate pairs of coil
loops are joined around the circumference creating the
concertina effect. (1992)
barb length, n—measured from the barb point to the center
line of the barb cluster. (1992)
barb length classification, n—commonly used barbed types
describing length and shape; such as long barb, medium
barb, and short barb. (1995)
barb spacing, n—the circumferential or linear distance be-
tween the center lines of the barb clusters. (1992)
barbed tape, n—strip of metal, machined to produce clusters
of sharp points. (1992)
clip, n—a mechanical means of joining two loops. (1992)
coil loop, n—one complete rotation (360°) of barbed tape.
(1995)
coil rotation, n—the spiraling effect that occurs as the concer-
tina coils are deployed. (1993)
concertina, n—a pattern formed by attaching adjacent loops of
helical coils to one another at specified points on the
circumference, resulting in an accordion-like configuration.
(1992)
concertina spacing, n—distance between adjacent concertina
attachments in a concertina configuration, as measured down
the length of the extended coil (also called concertina
attachment spacing). (1992)
This terminology is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee F14 on Fences
and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F14.40 on Chain Link Fence and
Wire Accessories.

F1379 − 95(Reapproved 2008)
deployed length, n—the coils as extended for use. It is
specified by the coverage where:
Helical coverage = number of coil loops per unit × helical loop
spacing
Concertina coverage = number of coil loops divided by 2 ×
concertina loop spacing. (1992)
diameter,n—specified size diameters shall be measured across
the center line of the packaged coil with a tolerance of 62
in.; installed diameters are always less than the packaged
diameter of the coil. (1992)
double coil, n—a configuration where a smaller diameter coil
is placed inside a larger diameter coil. The assembled rolls
may be either concertina style or helical style. (1993).
DISCUSSION— 1. Concertina style, for example, the 24 and 30-in. [61
and 76-mm] diameter coils are attached together at both ends for
installation purposes.
