NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Second Revision) which is identical with ISO 7802 : 2013 ‘Metallic materials — Wire — Wrapping test’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Mechanical Testing of Metals Sectional Committee and approval of the Metallurgical Engineering Division Council.

This standard was originally published in 1961 and subsequently revised in 1983. This revision has been undertaken to harmonize it with the latest developments taken place at international level. The committee has now decided to adopt this standard under dual numbering system and make it align with ISO 7802 : 2013.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical with those used in Indian Standard. Attention is especially drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be as read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
