22、edures andprocesses be audited by an independent certification program for epoxycoating applicator plants such as that provided by the Concrete Reinforc-ing Steel Institute, or equivalent.NOTE 3A typical ordering description is as follows: Deformed Grade420 bars to ASTM A615M_; 6000 m, No. 19, 12 m

23、long in securedlifts with sufficient spacers or padding, or both; epoxy-coated to ASTMA775M_; including written certifications for the powder coatingand coated bars, and 1 L of patching material.Deformed Grade 60 bars to ASTM A615M_; 20 000 ft, No. 6,40 ft 0 in. long in secured lifts with sufficient

24、 spacers or padding, or both;epoxy-coated to ASTM A775_; including written certifications forthe powder coating and coated bars, and 1 qt of patching material.5. Materials5.1 Steel reinforcing bars to be coated shall meet therequirements of one of the following specifications: A615M,A706M, or A996M

25、A615, A706, or A996, as specified by thepurchaser and shall be free of contaminants such as oil, grease,or paint.NOTE 4Prior to coating, the steel reinforcing bars should be inspectedfor their suitability for coating. Bars with sharp edges on the deformations,rolled-in slivers, or other surface impe

26、rfections are difficult to coatproperly and should not be coated. The coating will flow away from thesharp edges and may result in inadequate coating thickness at these points.5.2 The powder coating shall meet the requirements ofAnnex A1. Upon request, the purchaser shall be provided withthe test re

27、port for review.5.2.1 A written certification shall be furnished to the pur-chaser that properly identifies the number of each lot of powdercoating used in the order, material quantity represented, date ofmanufacture, name and address of the powder coatingmanufacturer, and a statement that the suppl

28、ied powder coatingis the same composition as that qualified according to AnnexA1 of this specification.5.2.2 The powder coating shall be stored in a temperature-controlled environment following the written recommenda-tions of the powder coating manufacturer until ready for use.At that point, if the

29、storage temperature is below the plantambient temperature, the powder coating shall be given suffi-cient time to reach approximate plant ambient temperature.The powder coating shall be used within the powder coatingmanufacturers written recommended shelf life.5.3 If specified in the order, a represe

30、ntative 0.2-kg 8-ozsample of the powder coating shall be supplied to the purchaserfrom each batch. The sample shall be packaged in an airtightcontainer and identified by batch number.5.4 Patching material for repairing damaged coating shall becompatible with the coating, inert in concrete, and feasi

31、ble forrepairs at the applicator plant or at the fabricating shop.Patching material shall be approved in accordance with AnnexA2 prior to use.5.4.1 The patching material manufacturer shall specify themetals surface preparation, and the procedures for applicationof the patching material.5Available fr

Surface Preparation6.1 The surface of the steel reinfo

34、rcing bars to be coatedshall be cleaned by abrasive blast cleaning to near-white metalin accordance with SSPC-SP 10. Additional surface treatment,as indicated in 6.3, is permitted. Use of SSPC-VIS 1 as a visualstandard of comparison to define the final surface condition ispermitted. Average blast pr

35、ofile maximum roughness depthreadings of 0.04 to 0.10 mm 1.5 to 4.0 mils, as determined byreplica tape measurements using NACE RP-287-87, shall beconsidered suitable as an anchor pattern.NOTE 5The use of a “profilometer” type surface measurementinstrument that measures the peak count as well as the

36、maximum profiledepth is recommended.NOTE 6Abrasive blast cleaning of steel reinforcing bars with a highdegree (90 %) of grit in the cleaning media provides the most suitableanchor profile for coating adhesion. After grit has been recycled, a smallportion will take on the appearance of shot.6.2 Multi

37、directional, high-pressure dry air knives shall beused after blasting to remove dust, grit, and other foreignmatter from the blast-cleaned steel surface. The air knives shallnot deposit oil on the steel reinforcing bars.NOTE 7It is recommended that incoming steel reinforcing bars andblast media be c

38、hecked for salt contamination prior to use. Blast mediafound to be salt contaminated should be rejected. Steel reinforcing barsfound to be salt contaminated from exposure to deicing salts or salt sprayshould be cleaned by acid washing or other suitable methods to removesalt contaminants from the sur

39、face prior to blast cleaning.6.3 It shall be permissible for the manufacturer to use achemical wash or conversion of the blast-cleaned steel rein-forcing bar surface, or both, to enhance coating adhesion. Thispretreatment shall be applied after abrasive cleaning and beforecoating, in accordance with

40、 the written application instructionsspecified by the pretreatment manufacturer.7. Coating Application7.1 If pretreatment is used in the preparation of the surface,the powder coating shall be applied to the cleaned andpretreated steel reinforcing bar surface as soon as possible aftersurface treatmen

41、ts have been completed, and before visibleoxidation of the surface occurs as discernible to a person withnormal or corrected vision. In no case shall application of thecoating be delayed more than 3 h after cleaning.7.2 The fusion-bonded epoxy powder coating shall beapplied in accordance with the wr

42、itten recommendations of themanufacturer of the powder coating for initial steel surfacetemperature range and post application curing requirements.During continuous operations, the temperature of the surfaceimmediately prior to coating shall be measured using infraredguns or temperature indicating c

43、rayons, or both, at least onceevery 30 min.NOTE 8The use of infrared and temperature-indicating crayon mea-surement of the steel reinforcing bars is recommended.7.3 The powder coating shall be applied by electrostaticspray or other suitable method.8. Requirements for Coated Steel Reinforcing Bars8.1

44、 Coating Thickness:8.1.1 The coating thickness measurements after curing shallbe 175 to 300 m 7 to 12 mils for bars sizes Nos. 10 to 16Nos. 3 to 5 and 175 to 400 m 7 to 16 mils for bar sizesNos. 19 to 57 Nos. 6 to 18.The upper thickness limit shall notapply to repaired areas of damaged coating.8.1.2

45、 A single recorded steel reinforcing bar coating thick-ness measurement is the average of three individual gagereadings obtained between four consecutive deformations. Aminimum of five recorded measurements shall be taken ap-proximately evenly spaced along each side of the test speci-mens (a minimum

46、 of ten recorded measurements per bar).8.1.3 For acceptance purposes, the average of all recordedcoating thickness measurements shall not be less than thespecified minimum thickness or more than the specifiedmaximum thickness. No single recorded coating thicknessmeasurement shall be less than 80 % o

47、f the specified minimumthickness or more than 120 % of the specified maximumthickness.8.1.4 Measurements shall be made in accordance withSSPC-PA 2, following the instructions for calibration and userecommended by the thickness gage manufacturer. Pull-off orfixed probe gages shall be used. “Pencil-ty

48、pe” pull-off gagesthat require the operator to observe the reading at the instantthe magnet is pulled from the surface shall not be used.8.1.5 The coating thickness shall be measured on the bodyof a straight length of steel reinforcing bar between thedeformations.8.2 Coating Continuity:8.2.1 The man

49、ufacturers plant shall have an operationalin-line 67.5 V, 80 000 , wet-sponge type direct-currentholiday detector or equivalent method with an automatedholiday counting system to determine the acceptability of thesteel reinforcing bars prior to shipment.NOTE 9Handheld holiday detector checks should be performed eachproduction day to verify the accuracy of the in-line system. Handheldholiday detectors offer a reliable way to correlate data obtained from thein-line holiday-detection system.8.2.2 On average, there shall not
