Requirements for round and flat low carbon (mild steel) wire, including carbon steel round wires of 2 mm diameter and larger.

This Part of BS 3592 specifies requirements for wire used for rubber hose reinforcement.

Two tensile strength grades are specified for round and flat wires in low carbon steel (mild steel) and five tensile strength grades are specified for round wires in carbon steel, depending upon wire diameter. The round wire diameter range specified is 1.60 mm to 14.22 mm and the flat wire dimensions specified range from 2.18 mm × 1.63 mm to 15.9 mm × 4.76 mm.

Various types of coating are specified.
