1. Scope
1.1 This specification describes three grades of compacted, seven-wire, uncoated, stress-relieved strand for use in pre-tensioned and post-tensioned prestressed concrete construction.
1.2 Supplement I describes low-relaxation strand and low-relaxation testing.
1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound or SI units are to be regarded as standard. Within the text, the inch-pound units are shown in parentheses. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other, without combining values in any way.
