Overview
EN 10257-1:2011 is a European standard developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) that specifies requirements for zinc or zinc alloy coated non-alloy steel wire. This wire is primarily intended for use in the armouring of subterranean land power and telecommunication cables. The standard defines the material properties, manufacturing criteria, testing methods, and quality control processes necessary to ensure the wire meets stringent performance standards for durability, mechanical strength, and electrical characteristics.
This standard applies specifically to land cables, providing key specifications on coating, dimensions, mechanical properties, and testing methods for zinc or zinc alloy coated steel wires used in armored cable applications. It serves as a critical guideline for manufacturers and purchasers aiming for high-quality protective armouring in underground cable installations.
Key Topics
Scope and Application
Defines the use of zinc or zinc alloy coated non-alloy carbon steel wire for armouring power and telecommunication cables laid underground.Material and Manufacture
- Wire is cold drawn from non-alloy carbon steel rods to achieve required tensile and physical properties.
- Only properly dressed welds are permitted in wire coils to maintain wire integrity.
Mechanical Properties
- Tensile strength ranges from 320 to 500 N/mm² depending on wire diameter.
- Minimum elongation after fracture requirements ensure necessary ductility.
- Torsion resistance specified to guarantee wire flexibility during cable manufacture and service.
Dimensions and Tolerances
- Preferred nominal wire diameters range from 0.30 mm up to 4.00 mm with precise tolerance limits.
- Diameter tolerances align with related steel wire standards ensuring compatibility in cable design.
Coating and Surface Finish
- Zinc or zinc alloy coatings applied via hot dip or electrolytic processes complying with EN 10244-2 Class A requirements.
- Coating must adhere firmly and resist surface defects that can affect cable performance.
- Optional additional coatings (e.g., wax) can be specified if compatible with cable design.
Electrical Resistance
- Maximum permissible DC electrical resistance values defined per wire diameter.
- Resistance measurement accounts for temperature variations and ensures wire conductivity is maintained for protective and functional roles.
Testing and Quality Control
- Sampling methods and required tests for tensile strength, torsion, coating adherence, diameter, and electrical resistance.
- Standardized test methods per EN 10218-1, EN 10244 series, and IEC 60468.
- Inspection documents per EN 10204 and EN 10021 are used to verify compliance.
Packing and Identification
- Manufacturer must label each coil with product and batch information for traceability.
- Proper packaging ensures protection during transport and storage.
