About the Goodridge Safety Lockwire, 0.8 mm Diamet Test
Goodridge Safety Lockwire test equipment listings cover safety wire, a positive mechanical locking method rather than a friction-based one. The wire is threaded through a hole drilled in a fastener head or component, twisted along its length, then anchored to a second fastener or fixed point and twisted off, so that any attempt by the fastener to back off is resisted directly by the wire in tension. Goodridge lockwire is drawn from aircraft-grade 321 stainless steel, a titanium-stabilised austenitic grade chosen for its corrosion resistance and its resistance to sensitisation at elevated temperature. This item is the 0.8 mm diameter, one of several gauges in the range; heavier gauges give a stronger restraint while finer gauges are easier to route through small drillings and to twist neatly. Safety wire is specified where vibration, thermal cycling or safety-critical function makes a self-loosening fastener unacceptable.

Typical applications
The 0.8 mm gauge is a common general-purpose size for locking bolt heads, banjo fittings, hose ends and drilled-head fasteners on hydraulic and fuel systems. It is also used to secure fasteners on rotating and high-vibration assemblies where a visible witness of loosening or tampering is required. Lockwire pliers are normally used with it to apply a consistent twist pitch along the run.
