ASTM A510M-00

Standard Specification for General Requirements for Wire Rods and Coarse Round Wire, Carbon Steel [Metric]

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers general requirements for carbon steel wire rods and uncoated coarse round wire in coils or straightened and cut lengths.
1.2 In case of conflict, the requirements in the purchase order, on the drawing, in the individual specification, and in this general specification shall prevail in the sequence named.
Note 1—This metric specification is equivalent to Specification A 510, and is compatible in technical content.
