Section 27-637. Tests of materials for bridge wire suspenders  


Latest version.
  • The following
      minimum quantities of bridge wire for suspenders shall be tested:
        (1) Tensile strength tests of the wires shall be made  of  a  specimen
      cut from each coil of zinc coated wire.
        (2)  Tests  for  elongation  and  for  yield strength shall be made on
      samples from approximately ten percent of the  coils  of  any  one  size
      finished  wire.  If  any  of  these  tests  fail  to  meet the specified
      requirements, all the coils in that lot of finished wire shall be tested
      and only coils that satisfactorily pass the test shall be used.
        (3) Tests of the zinc coating shall  be  made  of  approximately  five
      percent  of  the coils of any one size of finished wire. If any of these
      tests fail to meet the specified requirements, all the coils in that lot
      of finished wire shall be tested and only coils that satisfactorily pass
      the test shall be used.
