10.2 The zinc coating shall adhere firmly to the wire and
shall be considered as meeting this requirement if, due to
wrapping about the specified mandrel, it does not flake and
none of the coating can be removed from the wire by rubbing
with the bare fingers. Loosening or detachment during the
adhesion test of superficial, small particles of zinc formed by
mechanical polishing of the surface of zinc-coated wire shall
not be considered cause for rejection.
11. Breaking Strength
11.1 The breaking strength of the galvanized wire shall not
be less than that specified in Table 2 when tested in accordance
with Test Methods and Definitions A 370.
12. Elongation
12.1 The elongation of the galvanized wire shall be not less
than 10 % in 10 in. [254 mm] when tested in accordance with
Test Methods and Definitions A 370. The elongation shall be
