1.1 This standard covers the requirements for zinc coating on hot dip galvanized wires of circular section of diameters from 0·200 mm up to and including 10·0 mm.
1.2 This standard makes no reference to the quality of the wire itself. It does not apply to the articles made from wire which have been galvanized after fabrication. However, it makes provision for such testing to be carried out before or after the wire has been used for armouring, stranding, barbing or for any similar process.
1.3 The relevant Indian Standard governing a particular type of wire should refer to this standard for specifying the requirements of zinc coating.
