Standard Specification for Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) and Other Conforming Organic Polymer-Coated Steel Barbed Wire Used With Chain-Link Fence
ABSTRACT
This specification covers poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC) and other conforming organic polymer-coated steel barbed wire consisting of two polymer-coated strands, with four-point barbs of zinc-coated steel or aluminum alloy wire used with chain-link fence. PVC and other organic polymer coatings hereinafter will be designated as polymer coating. Barbed wire strand wire, produced from three classes of wire coatings, is covered as follows: class 1 - polymer coating extruded over zinc-coated or aluminum-coated or zinc-5 % aluminum-mischmetal alloy-coated steel wire; class 2a - polymer coating extruded and adhered to zinc-coated or aluminum-coated or zinc-5 % aluminum-mischmetal alloy-coated steel wire; and class 2b - polymer coating fused and adhered to zinc-coated or aluminum-coated or zinc-5 % aluminum-mischmetal alloy-coated steel wire. Polymer-coated steel barbed wire is supplied in a choice of two types as follows: type I - standard, and type II - high security. Breaking strength of the stranded barbed wire shall be tested to meet the requirements prescribed. Adhesion test, accelerated aging test, and color test shall be made to meet the requirements prescribed.

be of uniform quality and have properties and characteristics as prescribed in this specification.
6.2 Wire used for the manufacture of strand wire shall meet the requirements of this specification. The polymer coating shall
be formulated and produced properly to conform to the requirements of this specification.
6.3 Materials for Barbs:
6.3.1 Zinc-Coated Steel Wire, if used for the barbs, shall be 14 gage, 0.080 in. (2.03 mm), having a Class 3 zinc coating,
minimum 0.70 oz/ft (215 g/m) when tested in accordance with Test Method A90/A90M.

aluminum alloy wire.
9. Size and Permissible Variations
9.1 Line Wire—The permissible variation from the nominal diameter of the wire shall be 60.004 in. (0.10 mm).
9.2 Barbs—Due to the mechanics of the manufacture when forming the barbs, a certain amount of out-of-roundness can be
expected, and this precludes barbs from being subjected to checks for other than nominal diameter and length. Measured from the
center of the two strand wires, the barb length shall be ⁄8 in. (9.5 mm), minimum.
9.3 Spacing of Barbs—Barbs shall be spaced as indicated in 4.1.1 or 4.1.2. The individual barb spacing shall be measured from
the edge of one barb at the strand to the corresponding edge of the adjacent barb. Cumulative spacing is established by counting
the total number of barbs in a 25-ft (7.6-m) length of barbed wire. Barbs are subject to relocation during fabrication and handling;
therefore, a rigid interpretation of the spacing requirement may lead to undue rejections. Any sample with 93.5 % of the individual
barb spacings conforming to the specified spacing (6 ⁄4 in. (19 mm)) and containing a minimum of 55 barbs (5-in. (127-mm)
spacing) or a minimum of 86 barbs (3-in. (76-mm) spacing) in 25 ft shall be considered acceptable.
9.4 The length of barbed wire in each spool shall be 80 rods (402 m). This is equivalent to one-quarter mile, or 1320 ft. At the
option of the manufacturer, 1000-ft (305-m) spools may be offered.
10. Joints and Workmanship
10.1 Splicing of individual wires by means of a wrap joint or an electric butt weld is permitted. Not more than three splices
or joints shall exist in any spool of barbed wire. Such splices or joints shall be made in a workmanlike manner.
10.2 The strands shall be twisted with a uniform length of lay. The direction of twisting may be either right or left hand.
Alternate left and right hand twisting is not permitted.
10.3 The barbs shall be sharp, well-formed, wrapped tightly, and spaced in accordance with 9.3.
