Ordering Information4.1 It shall be the responsibility of the purchaser to specifyall requirements that are neces

22、sary for the coated steel rein-forcing bars under this specification. Such requirements to beconsidered include, but are not limited to, the following:4.1.1 Reinforcing bar specification and year of issue,4.1.2 Quantity and bend types of bars,4.1.3 Size and grade of bars,4.1.4 Requirements for the p

Bars with sharp edges on the deformations,rolled-in slivers, or other sur

28、face imperfections are difficult to coatproperly. The coating will flow away from the sharp edges and may resultin inadequate coating thickness at these points.5.2 The powder coating shall meet the requirements ofAnnex A1. Upon request, the purchaser shall be provided withtest data for review.5.2.1

29、A written certification shall be furnished to the pur-chaser that properly identifies the lot designation of the powdercoating used in the order, material quantity represented, date ofmanufacture, name and address of the powder coating manu-facturer, and a statement that the supplied powder coating

30、is thesame composition as that qualified according to Annex A1 ofthis specification. The powder coating shall be used within thepowder coating manufacturers written recommended shelflife.5.2.2 If specified in the order, a representative 0.2-kg 8-ozsample of the powder coating shall be supplied to th

31、e purchaserfrom each batch. The sample shall be packaged in an airtightcontainer and identified by the batch designation.5.2.3 The powder coating shall be maintained in atemperature-controlled environment following the written rec-ommendations of the powder coating manufacturer until readyfor use, a

32、t which point the powder coating shall be givensufficient time to reach approximate plant ambient temperature.5.3 If specified in the order, patching material, compatiblewith the coating, inert in concrete, and recommended by thepowder coating manufacturer, shall be supplied to the pur-chaser.6. Pre

33、fabrication of Steel Reinforcing Bars6.1 The steel reinforcing bars to be coated shall have beenprefabricated in accordance with the purchasers requirementsor project specifications prior to surface preparation.NOTE 4Drive rolls on shear beds and backup barrels on bendersshould be protected with a s

34、uitable covering to minimize crushing orcreating rollover damage to the steel reinforcing bar deformations duringthe fabrication process.7. Surface Preparation of Steel Reinforcing Bars7.1 The surface of the steel reinforcing bars shall be cleanedby abrasive blast steel grit to near-white metal in a

37、ment instru-ment that measures the peak count as well as the maximum profile depthis recommended.7.2 Asteel grit of Rockwell Hardness C50 or higher shall beused. A maximum of 5 % steel shot is allowable in the media.NOTE 6Recycled steel grit abrasive should be maintained so as tominimize contaminant

38、s such as oil, salt, and dust caused by the blastingoperation.7.3 Multidirectional, high-pressure dry air knives shall beused after blast cleaning to remove dust, grit, and other foreignmatter from the steel surface. The air knives shall not depositoil on the steel reinforcing bars.NOTE 7It is recom

39、mended that incoming steel reinforcing bars andblast media be checked 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

40、 other suitable methods to removesalt contaminants from the surface prior to blast cleaning.7.4 It shall be permissible for the manufacturer to use achemical wash or conversion of the steel reinforcing barsurface, or both, to enhance coating adhesion. This pretreat-ment shall be applied after abrasi

41、ve cleaning and beforecoating, in accordance with the written application instructionsspecified by the pretreatment manufacturer.8. Coating Application8.1 Cleaned, uncoated steel reinforcing bars shall behandled by personnel wearing clean gloves to prevent contami-nation of the steel surface.8.2 If

42、pretreatment is used in the preparation of the surfacethe powder coating shall be applied to the cleaned andpretreated steel reinforcing bar surface as soon as possible aftersurface treatments have been completed, and before visibleoxidation of the surface occurs as discernible to a person withnorma

43、l or corrected vision. In no case shall application of thecoating be delayed more than 3 h after cleaning.8.3 The fusion-bonded epoxy powder coating shall beapplied in accordance with the written recommendations of themanufacturer of the powder coating for initial steel surfacetemperature range and

44、post application cure requirements. Thetemperature of the surface immediately prior to coating shall bemeasured using infrared guns or temperature-indicating cray-ons at least once every 30 min during continuous operations.NOTE 8The use of infrared and temperature-indicating crayon mea-surement of t

Requirements for Coated Steel Reinforcing Bars9.1 Coating Thickness:9.1.1 The coating thickness on straight sections of bars,after curing, shall be 175 to 300 m 7 to 12

46、mils. The coatingthickness on bent sections of bars, after curing, shall be 175 to405 mm 7 to 16 mils. Bent sections of bars are defined as theentire radius of each bend and portions of the bar extending150 mm 6 in. beyond the beginning and ending bend pointson the bar. Bars that are bent with a rad

47、ius such as Bend Type9(Fig. 1) shall have the same coating thickness requirementsas straight bars, when the 9H9 dimension is equal to or less thanone-half of the 9R9 dimension.NOTE 9Section 9.1.1 permits a maximum coating thickness of 405m 16 mils on bent sections of bars. Discussion of the effect o

48、f thepermissible increased coating thickness on the anchorage capacity of bentbars embedded in concrete is presented in Appendix X3.9.1.2 A single recorded steel reinforcing bar coating thick-ness measurement is the average of three individual gagereadings obtained between three consecutive deformat

49、ions. Aminimum of five recorded measurements shall be taken ap-proximately evenly spaced along each side of the test specimen(a minimum of ten recorded measurements per bar).9.1.3 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 % of the specified minimumthickness or more than 120 % of the specified maximumthickness.9.1.4 M
