ASTM A1007-15

Standard Specification for Carbon Steel Wire for Wire Rope

ABSTRACT
This specification covers uncoated and four classes of round, metallic coated, cold-drawn, carbon steel wire rope in five strength levels. The following materials testing procedures shall be conducted: standard tensile testing; alternate tensile testing; torsion testing; and wrap testing. The wire diameter tolerances of uncoated, drawn-galvanized or drawn-Zn5 Al-MM, and final-galvanized or final-coated Zn5 Al-MM rope wires shall be described. Minimum breakage forces for the carbon steel wire rope shall also be presented. During torsion testing, varying amounts of load shall be applied to the wire being tested.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers uncoated and four classes of round, metallic coated, cold-drawn, carbon steel wire for wire rope in five strength levels. This specification specifies:  
1.1.1 Dimensional tolerances,  
1.1.2 Mechanical characteristics,  
1.1.3 Chemical composition requirements,  
1.1.4 Coating requirements (if applicable), and  
1.1.5 Packaging requirements.  
1.2 The values stated for metric equivalents are provided for informational purposes only.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
