Standard Specification for Zinc-Coated Flat Steel Armoring Tape
STANDARD published on 1.11.2024
Why Redline?
A PDF redline is a quick and easy way to compare all of the changes between the current, active standard and the previous version.
With a redline you'll immediately see:
Save Time and Trouble!
With a Redline you no longer have to spend time trying to determine what has changed in the new standard! Redlines save you time and ensure you see what the changes are to the standard.
Price
When you select the "Active + Redline" option you get both documents! Best of all, the cost of an Active + Redline is only slightly more than buying the Active Standard by itself.

This specification covers zinc-coated flat steel tape in coils for use as interlocking armor and flat armor for electric cables. The zinc-coated tape is produced with three classes of zinc coating weight. The zinc-coated tape shall be furnished in coils of one continuous length, with not more than an average of one weld/50 lb [23 kg]. The tensile strength shall be determined on longitudinal specimens consisting of the full width of the tape when practical, or a straight specimen cut or sheared from the center of the tape. The elongation shall be determined as the permanent increase in length, after failure of a marked section of the tape specimen originally 10 in. in length. The tape shall be capable of being bent flat on itself, either lengthwise or crosswise, without indication of failure. During the visual inspection, 1 sample coil shall random be selected from every 10 coils in the first 100 coils of the lot and 1 sample coil shall random be selected for every additional 35 coils, but not less than 3 coils from the entire lot. The weight of coating shall be determined by the hydrochloric acid-antimony chloride method. The zinc coating shall remain adherent without flaking or spalling when the tape is subjected to a 180? bend over a mandrel of required diameter.
