6.3 Coated Wire—The steel wire shall be coated before

fabrication.

6.3.1 Weight of Coating Requirements for Strand Wires—

The strand wires for Types Z and ZA barbed wire, as represented by the test specimens, shall conform to the requirements of Tables 2 and 3 respectively for the minimum coating weight for the type and class ordered. The strand wires for Type A barbed wire, as represented by the test specimens, shall have a minimum coating weight of 0.30 oz/ft2[90 g/m2] on the 121⁄2 –gage wire.

6.3.2 Weight of Coating Requirements for Barbs—The wire

for barbs for Types Z and ZA barbed wire, as represented by the test specimens, shall conform to the same coating class requirements as the strand wire. The steel wire for barbs for Type A barbed wire, as represented by the test specimens, shall have a minimum coating weight of 0.25 oz/ft2[75 g/m2] on the 14–gage wire.

7. General Requirements

7.1 The sizes and constructions for barbed wire furnished

under this specification shall be in accordance with the requirements of Table 1 for the Design Number specified in the order, within the tolerances stated in Section 8.

7.2 The barbs shall be sharp, well-formed, and tightly

wrapped. The barb length, measured from the center of the two strand wires, shall be3⁄8 in. [9.5 mm] minimum.

7.3 The strand wires shall be twisted with a uniform length

of lay. Type Z and Type ZA barbed wire shall have the twisting consistently in one direction (left or right) or alternating between the left and right directions. Type A barbed wire shall have the twisting consistently in either the left or right direction, with alternating of the twisting prohibited.

7.4 Splicing of individual wires by means of a wrap joint or

an electric butt weld is permitted. Not more than three splices or joints shall exist in any spool of barbed wire. Such splices or joints shall be made in a workmanlike manner.

7.5 The barbed wire, for the various types, shall be pack-

aged on spools in lengths as follows:

7.5.1 Type A—80 rods (1320 ft) [402 m] or 1000 ft [305 m].

7.6 Types Z and ZA—80 rods (1320 ft) [402 m] or 80 rods

plus additional increments of 10 rods (165 ft) [50 m].

7.7 Breaking Strength—The breaking strength of the

stranded barbed wire, for all types, shall be not less than 950 lbf [4230 N]. This breaking strength reflects that of both strand wires tested together as one unit.

8. Permissible Variations in Dimensions

8.1 Diameter—The permissible variation from the nominal

diameter of the wire, for both line wires and barbs, for all types, shall be60.005 in. [0.13 mm]

8.1.1 Due to the mechanics of manufacture when forming

the barbs, a certain amount of out-of-roundness is expected.

The size and condition precludes barbs from being subjected to diameter checks.

8.2 Barb Spacing—The nominal spacing of the barbs shall

be as noted in Table 1. The individual barb spacing shall be measured from the edge of one barb at the strand to the corresponding edge of the adjacent barb. Cumulative spacing is established by counting the total number of barbs in a 25-ft

[7.6-m] length of barbed wire. Barbs are subject to relocation during fabrication and handling, potentially leading to rejec-tions with rigid interpretation of the spacing requirement.

Therefore, barb spacing shall be considered acceptable under the following conditions:

8.2.1 The sample has 93.5 % of the individual barb spacings

conforming to the specified spacing63⁄4 in. [19 mm], and

8.2.2 A sample length of 25 ft [7.6 m] of barbed wire

contains:

8.2.2.1 A minimum of 86 barbs for 3-in. [76-mm] spacing,

8.2.2.2 A minimum of 69 barbs for 4-in. [102-mm] spacing, or

8.2.2.3 A minimum of 55 barbs for 5-in. [127-mm] spacing.

9. Sampling and Testing

9.1 Sampling—For the purpose of tests, select one spool at

random from every 50 spools or fraction thereof in a lot, or a total of seven samples, whichever is less. A lot shall consist of all spools of a single construction (Design Number) of barbed wire offered for delivery at the same time.

9.2 Test Specimens for Physical Tests—Cut a 4-ft [1.2-m]

length of barbed wire from the end of each spool for tests prescribed in Sections 6 and 7. Determine the breaking strength value by testing the twisted strand as composite. Test each strand wire individually for weight of coating.

9.3 Testing for Weight of Coating—Coating weight for

Types Z and ZA shall be determined in accordance with Test Method A 90/A 90M. Coating weight for Type A shall be determined in accordance with Test Method A 428/A 428M.

Perform testing either before or after fabrication for the strand wires and for Type A steel barbs. Perform testing prior to fabrication for Type Z and ZA barbs, and certify the test results.

9.4 Pretesting of Wire—Instead of testing wire for breaking

strength and weight of coating from the completed barbed wire in accordance with 9.2, the manufacturer, at his election, shall establish compliance with the requirements in Sections 6 and 7 by tests made on wire prior to fabrication. If the manufacturer makes this election, the purchaser still has the right to test wire from the completed barbed wire for compliance. It is recog-nized that during fabrication the barb is mechanically deformed and scraped, and some differences are likely in coating weight results on barbs tested before and after fabrication.

9.5 Inspection for General Workmanship—For the purpose

of inspection, a maximum of two spools from the lot, as described in 9.1, shall be subjected to observations for barb length and spacing, overall length, and workmanship.

9.5.1 Instead of inspecting for length by unrolling full

spools, the purchaser and manufacturer have the option of agreeing on a weight per spool related to wire size or measuring tools employed during manufacturing. The pur-chaser still reserves the right to confirm the length by actual measurement.

9.5.2 Inspection for barb spacing is normally performed on

the outer 25-ft [7.6-m] length of a spool, which permits repacking of the spool. Any other selection shall be as agreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser.

10. Retests

10.1 Lot Size for Retests—If one or more of the individual

wire specimens fail the coating weight, or if a strand specimen fails the breaking strength test, the lot shall be subject to retest.

For retest purposes, four additional spools of barbed wire for each 50 spools offered shall be sampled. The lot size then becomes 50 spools, except variation in lot size is permitted to accommodate pallet count when the barbed wire is palletized.

10.2 Retesting for Coating Weight—If more than two of the

individual strand wires of the retest specimens fail to meet the requirements of 6.3, or if any of the retest specimens has less than 75 % of the specified coating weight, the entire lot represented by the retest shall be rejected.

10.3 Retesting for Breaking Strength—If any of the retest

specimens fail to meet the minimum breaking strength value in 7.7, the entire lot represented by the specimens shall be rejected.

10.4 Reinspection for Barb Spacing, Barb Length, and

Overall Length—If either of the sample spools fails to meet the requirements for these dimensions, within the tolerances in Section 8, two additional spools shall be selected for inspec-tion. If either of these spools fails to meet the requirements, the lot shall be rejected.

11. Inspection

11.1 Unless otherwise specified in the purchase order or

contract, the manufacturer is responsible for the performance of all inspection and test requirements specified in this speci-fication. Except as otherwise specified in the purchase order or contract, the contractor shall use his own or any other suitable facilities for the performance of the inspection and test requirements unless disapproved by the purchaser at the time the order is placed. The purchaser shall have the right to perform any of the inspections and tests set forth in this specification when such inspections and tests are deemed necessary to ensure that the material conforms to the prescribed requirements.

12. Rejection and Rehearing

12.1 Material that fails to conform to the requirements of

this specification shall be rejected. Rejection shall be reported to the manufacturer or supplier promptly and in writing. In case of dissatisfaction with the results of the test, the manufacturer or supplier shall make claim for a rehearing.

12.2 Instead of rejecting the entire lot as provided in Section 10, the manufacturer has the option of testing specimens from every spool and rejecting only those spools failing the weight of coating or breaking strength requirements.

13. Certification

13.1 When specified in the purchase order or contract, a
