Steel wire for the reinforcement of concrete products. Specification
| Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
| BSI | 2007 | 30 |
This British Standard specifies requirements for plain, indented and ribbed steel wire used for the reinforcement of concrete products.
The standard contains provisions for two grades, based on mechanical properties. Grade 500 is specified for plain, indented and ribbed wires. Grade 250 is specified as an option for plain wires only.
Bar or coil for the manufacture of structural welded fabric to BS 4483 is not covered by this standard. BS 4449:2005 covers bar or coil for this purpose.
Wire for the prestressing of concrete and wire used for ties, lifting and other general engineering or industrial purposes is not covered by this standard.
The nominal wire diameter (size) range specified in this standard is 2.5 mm to 12 mm.

| 21 | Test equipment Moulds for the test beams, made of steel, cast iron or any other non-absorbent material which does not react with the components of the concrete. Watertightness and dimensions shall be maintained after use. Steel hinges, formed from two pieces of steel in a T shape, as shown in Figure A.1 and Figure A.2, which interconnect the transversal interior faces of the two blocks. The width of the hinge is the same as the width, b, of the beam. System for regulating forces, fitted to the mechanism for applying forces, which enables them to be increased continuously, within the limits described in A.6. Force application system, for applying forces perpendicular to the face of the beam specimen. Instruments for measuring forces, with an accuracy of at least 1 % of the test result. Instruments for measuring slip, accurate to ±0.01 mm. Preparation of samples Reinforcing steel to be tested Auxiliary reinforcement Plastic sleeves Concrete |
