All strand and Wire is manufactured to BS5896(1980) prEN10138-3.2 and prEN10138-2.2 or any other internationally recognised standard. The Wire may be supplied spiral ribbed or chevron indented to suit customers requirement. Load Extension Behaviour - The recommended Modulus of Elasticity for strand is 195 + -10 kN/mm2 and for wire is 200 + -10 kN/mm2 Relaxation - The guaranteed maximum relaxation losses for all Low Relaxation strand and wire at 20 C from 70% of initial load after 1000 hours is 2.5%

Coil Weight and Dimensions - Strand is normally supplied in production lengths which may contain welds made before wire drawing. Production lengths of strand can be supplied in varying weights from 2.5 to 4.5 tonnes to suit customers requirements. Wire can be supplied in coil weights from 500kg's to 2500kg's. Protection - All material will be supplied export wrapped unless other wise requested.
