Standard Strands

Strands are made from 7 individual

cold-drawn wires, 6 helically wound
outer wires and one center wire (king Strands are usually packaged
wire). The mechanical properties of the in so-called coils that can weigh up
strand as well as corrosion protection to 3.5 tons.
properties are most important to DSI.
Strands can be supplied either bare,
galvanized or epoxy-coated without
any loss in strength including the
wedge anchorage. For a maximum in
corrosion protection we offer electrical-
ly isolated systems using polyethylene
(PE) or polypropylene (PP) ducts. See
also page 8.
