Torsion (Before Stranding): As per customers' Specifications.
Elongation (Before Stranding): As per customers' Specifications.
Wrapping: Wire sample is wrapped around a mandrel of diameter equal to 4 times the wire Diameter to form a close helix of 8 turns. Six turns are then un-wrapped and again closely wrapped in the same direction as before. The wire does not break.
Zinc Coating: As per IS 398/11/76, BS 215, BS 4565, AST MB 498 Class A.
Joints in the Wires: There are no joints in the finished wire except welds which are made prior to final drawings.
Coil Weight: As per customers' requirements in the range of 50 Kgs. to 250 Kgs. |
