sizes, and configuration of barbed tape.
1.2 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization
established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued

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 between 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 concertina 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)
cross section, n—shows the width and thickness of material, including the center section’s shape, core diameter, and core wrap.
(See Figs. 1-3 for types.) (1993)
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).
This terminology is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F14 on Fences and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F14.40 on Chain Link Fence and Wire
Accessories.
