1.1 These test methods cover testing of single filament steel wires that are used to reinforce hose products. By agreement, these test methods may be applied to similar filaments used for reinforcing other rubber products.
1.2 These test methods describe test procedures only and do not establish specifications or tolerances.
1.3 These test methods cover the determinations of the mechanical properties listed below: Property Section Breaking force (strength) 7 – 13 Yield strength 7 – 13 Elongation 7 – 13 Knot strength 14 – 20 Torsion resistance 21 – 27 Reverse bend 28 – 34 Wrap 35 – 41 Diameter 42 – 48
1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
