This standard sets out methods for torsion and wrapping tests on round and shaped wire having a nominal diameter or thickness of 0.4 mm up to and including 10 mm.NOTES:1. It is not practicable to test wire below 0.4 mm by the methods specified in this standard.2. Criteria for assessment of the result for compliance are not included; such requirements are within the province of the product standard, or determined by agreement between the purchaser and the supplier.
