Designation:A1060/A1060M16bStandard Specification forZinc-Coated(Galvanized)Steel Welded Wire Reinforcement,Plain and Deformed,for Concrete1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A1060/A1060M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers zinc-coated steel welded wirereinforcement,plain and deformed,or a combination of de-formed and plain wires,for reinforcement of concrete,in sizesnot less than 0.080 in.2.03 mm and over nominal diameterfor plain wire and 0.113 in.2.87 mm and over for deformedwire.1.2 This specification is intended to be applicable to cold-worked wire,drawn or rolled,plain or deformed,coated in acontinuous process.1.3 An alternative to a continuous coating process of wirebefore fabrication is a hot-dip process,where the welded wirereinforcement is immersed in a bath of molten zinc.NOTE1Data on the corrosion resistance of galvanized steels inconcrete are limited.The user is cautioned that the laboratory testingperformed on this material has been insufficient and may not accuratelyreflect the performance of the material when embedded in concrete asreinforcement.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A90/A90M Test Method for Weight Mass of Coating onIron and Steel Articles with Zinc or Zinc-Alloy CoatingsA780 Practice for Repair of Damaged and Uncoated Areasof Hot-Dip Galvanized CoatingsA1064/A1064M Specification for Carbon-Steel Wire andWelded Wire Reinforcement,Plain and Deformed,forConcreteB6 Specification for ZincB487 Test Method for Measurement of Metal and OxideCoating Thickness by Microscopical Examination ofCross SectionE376 Practice for Measuring Coating Thickness byMagnetic-Field or Eddy-Current(Electromagnetic)Test-ing Methods2.2 Military Standard:3MIL-STD-129 Marking for Shipment and Storage2.3 Federal Standard:3Fed.Std.No.123 Marking for Shipments(Civil Agencies)3.Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 continuous coating,nof metallic coated steelproducts,the process of uninterrupted passage of long lengthsof steel products,usually steel sheet,tube,pipe,or wire,through the various processing steps such as cleaning andcoating.4.Ordering Information4.1 Orders for zinc-coated welded wire reinforcement underthis specification shall contain the following information:4.1.1 Quantity(weight mass or square area),4.1.2 Nameofmaterial(galvanizedweldedwirereinforcement),4.1.3 Required zinc coating weight mass(coated beforefabrication)or zinc coating thickness(coated after fabrication),4.1.4 Packaging(see Section 13),and4.1.5 ASTM designation and year of issue.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.05 on Steel Reinforcement.Current edition approved Sept.1,2016.Published September 2016.Originallyapproved in 2010.Last previous edition approved in 2016 as A1060/A1060M 16a.DOI:10.1520/A1060_A1060M-16B.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from U.S.Government Printing Office Superintendent of Documents,732 N.Capitol St.,NW,Mail Stop:SDE,Washington,DC 20401,http:/www.access.gpo.gov.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 4.2 The purchaser shall have the option to specify additionalrequirements,including but not limited to,the following:4.2.1 Wire size number,wire spacing,and sheet or rollwidth and length,4.2.2 Minimum yield strength or Grade,and4.2.3 Requirements for inspection(see Section 9),5.General Requirements5.1 The wire used in the manufacture of welded wirereinforcement shall conform to Specification A1064/A1064M.After galvanizing,the welded wire shall meet the requiredmechanical properties of Specification A1064/A1064M exceptfor the bend test requirements as prescribed in Table 1 of thisspecification.5.2 Welded wire reinforcement s
