The Zinc used for the coating of the wires that comprise galvanized strand is of the highest purity grade, SHG (Special High Grade), in accordance with ASTM B 6 standard. This guarantees the formation of a Zinc-Iron bond sufficiently strong in order to achieve the most efficient galvanic protection of the steel.
The mass of the Zinc coating in g/m2 should be homogenous over the entire length of the wires, meeting the requirements and / or standards previously agreed up with the client, for example: ASTM A 475, BS 183 (British Standard), ASTM A 363, EMCOCABLES standards and/ or client standards.
In addition to 7 wire strands, EMCOCABLES manufactures two wire strand and three wire strands, based on customer and/or international standards. EMCOCABLES also produces indented strands based on the ASTM A 886 standard.
The dimensions and properties of the strands are put across in the tables 2 and 3.
