Each heat in a given Tot shall be tested. 6.1.3 Location of Tests—Test specimens shall be taken from either end of the coil.fly aao7 - 07 (2013) 6.14 Test Method—The tension test shall be made in accordance with Test Methods and Definitions A370. 6.2 Wrap Test: 6.2.1 Requirements—The wire for zig-zag-type and for square-formed-type springs for automobile seat and back spring units, except that for coiled-type springs Type A (Marshall pack), shall wrap on itself as an arbor without breakage. The wire for sinuous-type furniture spring units shall wrap on a mandrel twice the diameter of the wire without breakage. The wire shall wrap on itself as an arbor without breakage. 6.2.2 Number of Tests—One test specimen shall be taken for cach ten coils, or fraction thereof, in a lot. Each heat in a given lot shall be tested. 6.2.3 Location of Tests—Test specimens shall be taken from cither end of the coil. 6.2.4 Test Method—The wrap test shall be made in accor- dance with Supplement IV of Test Methods and Definitions A370. 7. Dimensions and Permissible Variations 7.1 The diameter of the wire shall not vary from that specified by more than the tolerances specified in Table 2. 8. Workmanship 8.1 Surface Condition—The surface of the wire as received shall be smooth and have a uniform finish suitable for coiling ‘or shaping the various types of springs. No serious die marks, seratches, of seams may be present 8.2 The wire shall be properly cast. To test for cast, a few convolutions of wire shall be cut from the coil and allowed to fall on a flat surface. The wire shall lie substantially flat on itself and shall not spring up and show a wavy condition. 83 Each coil shall be one continuous length of wire, properly coiled. Welds made prior to cold drawing are permit- ted, Weld areas need not meet the mechanical requirements of this specification 9, Retests 9.1 If any test specimen exhibits obvious defects or shows the presence of a weld, it may be discarded and another specimen substituted 10. Inspection 10.1 ‘The manufacturer shall afford the purchaser's inspector all reasonable facilities necessary to satisfy him that the ‘material is being produced and furnished in accordance with this specification. Mill inspection by the purchaser shall not interfere unnecessarily with the manufacturer's operations. All tests and inspections shall be made at the place of manufacture, unless otherwise agreed to. i Rejection and Rehearing 11.1 Unless otherwise specified, any rejection based on tests ‘made in accordance with this specification shall be reported to the manufacturer within a reasonable length of time. 11.2 Failure of any of the test specimens to comply with the requirements of this specification shall constitute grounds for rejection of the lot represented by the specimen. The lot may be resubmitted for inspection by testing every coil for the char- acteristic in which the specimen failed and sorting out the defective coils. 11.3 The material must be adequately protected and cor- rectly identified in order that the producer may make proper investigation, 12, Packaging, Marking, and Loading 12.1 Packaging of the coils of wire shall be by agreement between the producer and the purchaser. This agreement shall include coil dimensions and weights. 12.2 When specified, the packaging, marking, and loading shall be in accordance with Practices A700. 12.3 Marking shall be by a tag securely attached to each coil of wire and shall show the identity of the producer, size of the wire, type, and ASTM specification designation. 12.4 Bar Coding—In addition to the previously-stated iden- tification requirements, bar coding is acceptable as a supple ‘mentary identification method. Bar coding should be consistent with AIAG Standard AIAGB-5 02.00, Primary Metals Identi fication Tag Application. The bar code may be applied to substantially affixed tag. 13, Keywords 13.1 coiled-type; cold-drawn; sinuous; springs; square- formed; upholstery; wire; zig-zag ‘ASTM Internationa takes no positon respecting the vay of any patent rights assarted in connection with any ter mentioned nis stanaar, sors ois stancar ae oxpassly advised tha terminaon of he vay of ary Sven patont rah, andthe Sk ‘of ningoment of Suen igh are entre terr oun responsibly. ‘This standards subject to revision at anytime by the response lacncal commits and must be reviewed every fva years and ‘not reise, eer reaporeved or wiiawn.
