Standard Specification for Metallic Coated Stranded Steel Core for Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced (ACSR)
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
This specification covers zinc-coated (galvanized), zinc-aluminum-mischmetal alloy-coated, and aluminum-coated (aluminized) stranded steel wire core inserted for use in aluminum conductors, steel reinforced (ACSR). Prior to stranding, the metallic coated steel wire to be used in the production of the stranded core shall meet all of the requirements of the appropriate specification. Requirements for (1) coated steel wire joints, (2) stranding of the core such as lay length and lay direction, (3) construction of ACSR, and (4) tensile properties of stranded core are detailed. The standard stranded core lengths and methods of determining rated strength and calculating loads are given.
Scope
1.1 This specification covers 7-wire, 19-wire, 37-wire, and 61-wire zinc-coated (galvanized), zinc-5 % aluminum-mischmetal alloy-coated, and aluminum-coated (aluminized) stranded steel core inserted for use in aluminum conductors, steel reinforced (ACSR).
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with this specification.
