The chemical compo-sition of all wires or any individual wire is not pertinent to this applicat

17、ion,and heat identity is not necessarily maintained. It is possible that wirefrom more than one heat may be used in the manufacture of a reel orreelless pack. Traceability is based on identity of reels or reelless packs asmaintained and reported by the manufacturer.5.3 TreatmentAfter stranding, stra

The minimu

20、m yieldstrength shall be 90 % of the breaking strength listed in Table1. Initial loads for the test and minimum yield strengths arelisted in Table 2.6.3.1 The extension under load shall be measured by anextensometer calibrated with the smallest division not largerthan 0.0001 in./in. 0.0001 mm/mm of

21、gage length.6.4 ElongationThe total elongation under load shall notbe less than 3.5 % using a gage length of not less than 24 in.600 mm. It shall be permissible to determine the totalelongation value by adding, to the 1.0 % yield extension, thepercent extension or movement between the jaws gripping

22、thestrand after yield determination. The percent is calculated onthe new base length of jaw-to-jaw distance.6.5 Relaxation PropertiesStrand shall have relaxationlosses of not more than 2.5 % when initially loaded to 70 % ofspecified minimum breaking strength or not more than 3.5 %when loaded to 80 %

Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance8.1 Joints:8.1.1 There shall be no strand joints or strand splices in anylength of the finished strand unless specifically permitted bythe purchaser.8.1.2 During the process of manufacture of individual wiresfor stranding, welding shall be permitted only prior

35、 to or at thesize of the last thermal treatment, for example, patenting orcontrolled cooling. There shall be no welds in the wire after ithas been drawn through the first die in the wire drawing exceptas provided in 8.1.3.8.1.3 During fabrication of the strand, butt-welded joints arepermitted in the

36、 individual wires, provided there shall not bemore than one such joint in any 150-ft 45-m section of thefinished strand.8.1.4 When specifically ordered as “Weldless,” a productfree of welds shall be furnished. When “Weldless” is specified,the strand is produced as one continuous length with no welds

37、as allowed by 8.1.3.8.2 The finished strand shall be uniform in diameter andshall be free of imperfections.8.3 When the strand is cut without seizings, the wire shallnot fly out of position. If any wire flies out of position and canbe replaced by hand, the strand shall be considered satisfactory.8.4

38、 The strand shall not be oiled or greased. Slight rusting,provided it is not sufficient to cause pits visible to a person withnormal or corrected vision, shall not be cause for rejection.NOTE 2Guidance for evaluating the degree of rusting on prestressedconcrete strand is presented in Sason.49. Sampl

39、ing9.1 Test specimens cut from either end of the reel or reellesspack are permitted.Any specimen found to contain a wire jointshall be discarded and a new specimen obtained.10. Number of Tests10.1 One test specimen shall be taken from each 30-ton27-tonne production lot of finished strand, and tested

40、 forbreaking strength, yield strength, and elongation.11. Inspection11.1 If outside inspection is required, the manufacturer shallafford the inspector representing the purchaser reasonableaccess to the facilities, which concern the manufacture of thematerial ordered, to satisfy the inspector that th

41、e material isbeing furnished in accordance with this specification. All testsand inspections shall be made at the place of manufacture priorto shipment, unless otherwise agreed upon at the time ofpurchase, and shall be so conducted as not to interfereunnecessarily with the manufacturers operations.1

42、2. Rejection12.1 Failure of any test specimen to comply with therequirements of the specification shall constitute grounds forrejection of the production lot represented by the specimen.12.2 The production lot shall be resubmitted for inspectionby testing a specimen from each reel or reelless pack a

43、ndsorting out non-conforming material.12.3 If there is a reasonable doubt in the initial testing as tothe ability of the strand to meet any requirement of thisspecification, two additional tests shall be made on specimensof strand from the same reel or reelless pack, and if failureoccurs in either o

44、f these tests, the strand shall be rejected.13. Certification13.1 If outside inspection is not required, a manufacturerscertification that the material has been tested in accordancewith and meets the requirements of this specification shall bethe basis of acceptance of the material. The certificatio

45、n shallinclude the specification number, year of issue, and revisionletter, if any.13.2 When requested in the purchase order or contract, themanufacturer shall furnish a representative load-elongationcurve for each size and grade of strand shipped.13.3 When the modulus of elasticity of a seven-wire

46、strandis provided, the cross-sectional area used to calculate thatmodulus also shall be provided. The area provided in thecertification shall be the area used to calculate the modulus ofelasticity.13.4 A material test report, certificate of inspection, orsimilar document printed from or used in elec

47、tronic form froman electronic data interchange (EDI) transmission shall beregarded as having the same validity as a counterpart printed inthe certifiers facility. The content of the EDI transmitteddocument shall meet the requirements of the invoked ASTMstandard(s) and conform to any existing EDI agr

48、eement be-tween the purchaser and the manufacturer. Notwithstanding theabsence of a signature, the organization submitting the EDItransmission is responsible for the content of the report.NOTE 3The industry definition as invoked here is: EDI is thecomputer-to-computer exchange of business information in a standardformat such as ANSI ASC X12.14.
