PART I COLD DRAWN STRESS.RELIEVED WIRE
(Second Revision)
o. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part I) (Second Revision) was adopted
by the Indian Standards Institution on 14 March 1983, after the draft
finalized by the Joint Sectional Committee for Concrete Reinforcement
had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 This standard was qr~t published in 1961 and was revised in 1966.
In the first revision, the standard was published in two parts, one cover-
ing the requirements of stress-relieved plain wire which was a revision
of the 1961 version of the standard and the other covering as-drawn
plain wire for the first time. The present revision has been taken up
with a view to modifying the earlier requirements in the light of ex-
perience gained in using this specification by both manufacturers and
users.
0.3 'In this revision, modifications have Lcen incorporated in provisions
relating to chemical composition, tolerance on nominal diameter and
requirements of relaxation and stress corrosion. Further, 51 units have
been adopted in specifying the physical requirements. References to
related Indian Standards also have been updated.
0.4 In the formulation of this standard, due weightage has been given
to international co-ordination among the standards and practices pre-
vailing in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in
the field in this country.
0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of
this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accord-
ance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this
standard.
• Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revis,d ).

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard ( Part I ) covers the requirements for the manufacture,
supply and testing of plain, cold drawn, stress-relieved steel wire for use
in prestressed concrete.
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.0 For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions shall apply.
2.1 BUDdIe - Two or more 'coils' or a number of lengths properly
bound together.
2.2 Coil - One continuous length of wire in the form of a coil.
2.3 Elongation - The increase in length of a tensile test piece under
stress. The elongation after fracture is conventionally expressed as a
percentage of the original gauge length of a standard test piece.
. 2.4 Parcel - Any quantity of finished wire presented for examination
and test at anyone time,
2.5 Proof Stress - The stress which produces a residual strain
of 0·2 percent of the original gauge length ( non-proportional elongation J:..
"2.6 Tensile Strength - The maximum load reached in a tensile tel'
divided by the original cross-sectional area of the gauge length portioa
of the test piece.
"Method lor chemical analysis of steels ( second revision). (Being issued in parts. )

6.2 Proof Stress - Unless otherwise specified, the proof stress of the
wire shall be not less than 85 percent of the rninimum specified tensile
strength.
6.3 Ductility - The wire shall withstand the reverse bend test specified
in 7.5.
6.4 Elongation After Fracture - Elongation after fracture, over a
gauge length of 200 mm, when determined in accordance with 7.6 shall
be as below:
Nominal Diameter Elongation, Percent
rom Min
2'50
3'00
4'00
5'00
7'00
8'00
6.5 Relaxation -- The relaxation stress in the wire, when tested in
accordance with 7.7 shall not exceed 5. percent of the initial stress as
specified in 7.7 at the end of 1,0UO h. Alternatively, the manufacturer
shall provide proof that the quality of wire supplied is such as to
comply with this requirement. ,

7. TESTS
7.1 All test pieces of wire of sufficient length for the specified tests shall
be selected by the purchaser or his authorized representative, either
a) from the cuttings of lengths of wires or ends of coils of wire, or
b) if he so desires, from the coil or length of wire, after it has been
cut to the required or specified length and the test piece taken
from any part of it.
7.1.1 In neither case, the test piece shall be detached from the coil or
length of wire, except in the presence of the purchaser or his authorized
representative.
7.1.2 Before test pieces are selected, the manufacturer or supplier shall
furnish the purchaser or his authorized representative with copies of the
mill records giving the number of coils or bundles in each cast with
sizes as well as the identification marks, whereby each coil or bundle of
wire can be identified.
7.2 Test samples shall not be subjected to any form of heat treatment.
Any straightening which the test samples may require shall be done cold.
7.3 Tensile Test - The tensile strength shall be determined in
accordance with IS : 1521-1972*.
7.4 Test Cor Proof Stress - Proof stress shall be determined in
accordance with IS: 1521-1972*.
7.4.1 When stress at 1·0 percent extension und~r load method is to be
determined, an initial load corresponding to a stress of 196 N/mm l shall
be applied to the test piece and a sensitive extenso meter then attached.
The dial of the extensometer shall be set to a reading equal to
0·001 film/mm of the gauge length to represent the extension due to the
initial load.
The load shall be increased until the extensometer shows an extension
corresponding to 1·0 percent of the gauge length, when the load shall be
noted. The stress calculated for this load shall be not less than
the value specified for the 0·2 percent proof stress.

9.6 Unless otherwise agreed to by the purchaser and the manufacturer,
wire shall be supplied in coils of sufficiently large diameter to ensure that
the wire runs off straight and the purchaser may specify the diameter of
the coil, if he so desires.
For wires up to 5 mm diameter, coils of about 1'5 m diameter and
of wires above 5 mm diameter, coils of about 2 m diameter, without
breaks, joints' and welds are generally recommended The mass of the
coil shall be as mutually agreed to between the purchaser and the manu-
facturer or supplier. Each coil shall have at least four tight ligatures.
