This specification covers steel fibers intended for use in fiber-reinforced concrete. The fibers shall be straight or deformed and of Types I (cold-drawn wire), II (cut sheet), III (melt-extracted), IV (mill cut), and V ( modified cold-drawn wire). Tensile and bend tests of randomly-selected finished fibers shall be performed. Measurement of dimensions shall be performed and values should conform to permissible variations of length, nominal length, diameter, equivalent diameter, aspect ratio, and nominal aspect ratio. Guidelines for inspection, rejection, rehearing, certification, and packaging are also given.
