Annex A (informative) Packaging of hose reinforcement wire
      A.1 Recommended types of spool
      A.2 Recommended length of wire per spool

Describes the composition, dimensions and mechanical properties of high carbon steel wire for reinforcing high pressure hoses. It is applicable to wire used as a multiple parallel wire braided or spirally wrapped reinforcement in a rubber or synthetic hose which is made to withstand relatively high bursting pressure.
