ASTM A1061/A1061M Multi-Wire Steel Prestressing Strand Testing

ASTM A1061 · ASTM standard

ASTM A1061 is the test-methods standard for evaluating the mechanical properties of multi-wire steel prestressing strand. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ASTM A1061 Covers

It defines the tensile verification workflow for prestressing strand supplied into prestressed concrete and related applications, and is a test method rather than a product specification.

How the Test Is Run

A multi-wire strand sample is gripped with specialized strand grips and pulled to failure, and breaking force, yield, and elongation are recorded.

Why It Matters

Verified strand properties underpin prestressed-concrete safety; strand-specific grips or sockets and high-force capacity are essential.
