ASTM B606/B606M-22 Standard Specification for High-Strength Zinc-Coated (Galvanized) Steel Core Wire for Aluminum and Aluminum-Alloy Conductors, Steel Reinforced
1.1 This specification covers round, high-strength, zinccoated (galvanized), steel core wire with Class A zinc coating (GA3) for use in overhead electrical conductors.
1.2 This specification covers wire of diameter from
0.0500 to
0.1900 in. inclusive or
1.27 to
4.82 mm inclusive.
1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.
1.4 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.
