(Specification)Standard Specification for Stainless Steel Rope Wire
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 standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 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 by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
