No other materials, such as those known by the terms “rerolled, rail-steel equivalent, and rail-steel quality,” shall be substituted. 6. CARBON DETERMINATION 6.1. For axle-steel product, the manufactu

20、rer shall make a determination for the carbon content of each axle received for manufacture into reinforcing bars. Based on these carbon determinations, all steel axles shall be stocked for subsequent rolling in separated lots by carbon range. The ranges of carbon shall be determined by the manufact

21、urer as those best suited to meet the mechanical requirements. 6.2. When requested by the purchaser, the manufacturer shall report the carbon range for each lot of bars furnished. 7. REQUIREMENTS OF DEFORMATIONS 7.1. Deformations shall be spaced along the bar at substantially uniform distances. The

22、deformations on opposite sides of the bar shall be similar in size, shape, and pattern. 7.2. The deformations shall be placed with respect to the axis of the bar so that the include angle is not less than 45 degrees. Where the line of deformations forms an include angle with the axis of the bar from

23、 45 degrees to 70 degrees inclusive, the deformations shall alternately reverse in direction from those on the opposite side. Where the line of deformation is greater than 70 degrees, a reversal in direction shall not be required. 2015 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation

The average spacing or distance between deformations on each side of the bar shall not exceed seven-tenths of the nominal diameter of the bar. 7.4. The overall length of deformations shall be

25、 such that the gap between the ends of the deformations shall not exceed 12.5 percent of the nominal perimeter of the bar. Where the ends terminate in a rib, the width of the rib shall be considered as the gap between these ends. The summation of the gaps shall not exceed 25 percent of the nominal p

The spacing, height, and gap of deformations shall conform to the requirements prescribed in Table 1. 8. MEASUREMENTS OF DEFORMATIONS 8.1. The average spacing of deformations shall be determined by

27、 measuring the length of a minimum of ten spaces and dividing that length by the number of spaces included in the measurement. The measurement shall begin from a point on a deformation at the beginning of the first space to a corresponding point on a deformation after the last included space. Spacin

28、g measurements shall not be made over a bar area containing bar marking symbols involving letters or numbers. 8.2. The average height of deformations shall be determined from measurements made on not fewer than two typical deformations. Determinations shall be based on three measurements per deforma

29、tion, one at the center of the overall length and the other two at the quarter points of the overall length. 8.3. Insufficient height, insufficient circumferential coverage, or excessive spacing of deformations shall not constitute cause for rejection unless it has been clearly established by determ

30、inations on each lot (Note 1) tested that typical deformation height, gap, or spacing do not conform to the minimum requirements prescribed in Section 7. No rejection may be made on the basis of measurements if fewer than ten adjacent deformations on each side of the bar are measured. Note 1As used

31、within the intent of Sections 8.3 and 14.1, the term “lot” shall mean all the bars of one bar number and pattern of deformations contained in an individual shipping release or shipping order. 9. TENSILE REQUIREMENTS 9.1. The material, as represented by the test specimens, shall conform to the requir

32、ements for tensile properties prescribed in Table 2. 9.2. The yield point or yield strength shall be determined by one of the following methods: 9.2.1. The yield point shall be determined by the drop of the beam or halt in the gauge of the testing machine. 9.2.2. Where the steel tested does not exhi

33、bit a well-defined yield point, the yield strength shall be determined by the offset method (0.2 percent offset), as described in T 244 (Section 14.2.1). 9.3. The percentage of elongation shall be as prescribed in Table 2. 2015 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Official
