Standard Specification for Stainless Steel Rope Wire

ABSTRACT
This specification covers the standard for the more commonly used types of round stainless steel wire intended especially for stranding into wire rope. Chemical analysis shall be performed on the steel and the chemical composition shall conform to the required values in carbon, manganese phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and nitrogen. The material shall also meet the requirements in tensile strength.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the more commonly used types of round stainless steel wire intended especially for stranding into wire rope.  
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard.
