1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers poly(vinyl chloride)-coated steel barbed wire consisting of two poly(vinyl chloride)-coated strands, with four-point barbs of zinc-coated steel or aluminum alloy wire. Poly(vinyl chloride) hereinafter will be designated PVC.

1.2 Barbed wire strand wire, produced from three classes of wire coatings, is covered as follows:

1.2.1 Class 1 , consisting of PVC coating extruded over zinc-coated or aluminum-coated or zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal alloy-coated steel wire;

1.2.2 Class 2a , consisting of PVC coating extruded and adhered to zinc-coated or aluminum-coated or zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal alloy-coated steel wire; and

1.2.3 Class 2b , consisting of PVC coating fused and adhered to zinc-coated or aluminum-coated or zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal alloy-coated steel wire.

1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
