a. Barbed tape – Galvanized steel wire per ASTM A653, G60 – G90 coating.
b. Core wire – Galvanized steel wire per ASTM A764, Finish 2, Class II, Type B, with a minimum tensile strength of 220,000 psi.
2.2 Design and construction. Concertina shall be designed and constructed to conform to the requirements specified herein and in table 1. Concertina shall be capable of being rapidly and easily deployed and recovered for barbed wire entanglements. Concertina shall consist of a coil of single -strand-core wire fitted with barbed tape. When extended to a coil the concertina shall be placed in spiral turns connected by clips so as to form a cylindrical diamond pattern. One end turn of coil shall be fitted with four bundling wires for securing the coil when closed, and each turn shall be fitted with two carrying loops.
