II. PRODUCTS

a) NON-REINFORCED BARBED TAPE

(1) Barbed tape coils shall be 750 mm (30") in diameter, consisting of 51 loops. Tape shall be fabricated from ASTM A 666 spring quality austenitic stainless steel, minimum hardness of Rockwell (30 N) 50-55, nominal

0.64 mm (0.025") thick, nominal 30 mm (1.210") width prior to fabrication. Spacing between the attachment points when deployed shall be 12”.

(2) Clusters of four barbs having a maximum tip radius of 0.127 mm (0.005") shall be punched 100 mm (4") on center. Barb cluster width shall be 30 mm. Barb clusters shall have a minimum length of 30 mm (1.2"). Barb shall be alternately offset from the tape center line 4 mm - 12 mm (0.15"-0.45").

(3) Adjacent coiled loops shall be alternately clipped together or spot welded at five points of approximately equal radius spacing about the coil loop perimeter.

Welded attachments shall withstand a minimum 890N (200 lb.) load uniformly distributed about the periphery. The 750 mm (30") diameter coils and five point uniform radial connections shall interact to produce a concertina coil with a 300 mm (12") opening between adjacent coil loops.

(4) Provide jacketed steel wire rope attached along the entire length of the roll.

Attach wire to each coil loop to preset the maximum barbed tape opening and the 12.20 meters (50 feet) plus or minus 0.3 meter (1 foot) length.

b) WIRE-REINFORCED BARBED TAPE

(1) Barbed Tape Coils shall be 750 mm (30") in diameter, consisting of 101 loops. Tape shall be fabricated from ASTM 176 Stainless Steel strip hardened to Rockwell (30 N) 35- 40, 0.64 mm (0.025") thick, 25 mm (1") width prior to roll forming. Spacing between the welded attachment points when deployed shall be 12”.

(2) Clusters of four barbs having a maximum tip radius of 0.127 mm (0.005") shall be punched 100 mm (4") on center. Barb clusters shall have a minimum length of 30 mm (1.2").

Barbs shall be alternately offset from the tape center line 4 mm - 12 mm (0.15"-0.45").

(3) The stainless steel strip shall be permanently cold clenched around a 2.5 mm (0.098") diameter austenitic stainless steel core wire conforming to ASTM A-580, having a minimum tensile strength of 895 MPa (130 ksi). The barbed tape shall have a minimum 230 degree wrap about the core wire. Barbed tape clips placed around the circumference of the tape shall be such that adjacent loops are rigidly fixed, preventing any slippage of one past another at the point of attachment.

Clips shall be fabricated from 1.6 x 9.5 mm (0.065"x0.375") stainless steel and capable of withstanding a pull of 890N (200 lb.).

c) INSTALLATION TIES

(1) Wire Ties used to attach security coils to the chain link fabric, tension wire, and other rows of barbed tape shall be austenitic stainless steel, 175 mm (±25 mm long), [(7" ±1" long)], 1.57mm (16 gauge) thick, twistable ties.

(2) “Hog Rings” used to attach security coils to the fences shall be 2.5mm (12.5 gauge) stainless steel and shall be used to fasten barbed tape to chain link fabric, tension wire, and other rows of barbed tape.

d) GROUND STAKES

(1) Ground stakes will be #10M (#3) galvanized reinforcing rods 450 mm (± 25 mm) [(18" ±1")] long with a 180̊ end hook 125 mm (5") in length.

e) FABRICATION OF COILED BARBER TAPE

(1) The attachment of adjacent coil loops whether by welding or stainless steel clips shall be capable of withstanding a pull of 890N (200 lb.) at the point of attachment.

III. DELIVERY

A. Thirty (30) day delivery upon receipt of order, FOB destination.
