Description / Abstract:
This specification covers two types of uncoated stress-relieved,
round, high-carbon steel wire commonly used in prestressed linear
concrete construction, as follows:
Type BA wire is used for applications in which cold-end
deformation is used for anchoring purposes (Button Anchorage),
and
Type WA wire is used for applications in which the ends are
anchored by wedges, and no cold-end deformation of the wire is
involved (Wedge Anchorage).
Supplement 1 describes low-relaxation wire and relaxation
testing for that product.
This specification is applicable for orders in either SI units
(M 204M) or in inch-pound units (M 204). SI units and inch-pound
units are not necessarily equivalent. Inch-pound units are shown in
brackets in the text for clarity, but they are the applicable
values when the material is ordered to M 204.
