35、.1.2 Average blast profile roughness depth readings of 37to 100 m 1.5 to 4.0 mils, as determined by replica tapemeasurements using RP 0287 or other methods acceptable tothe purchaser, shall be considered suitable as an anchor pattern.NOTE 4The use of a profilometer type surface measurement instru-me

36、nt 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 5Recycled steel grit abrasive should be maintained so as tominimize contaminants such as oil,

37、 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 6It is recommended that in

38、coming 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 other suitabl

39、e 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 abrasive cleaning an

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 pretreatment i

41、s 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 withnormal or corrected

42、 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 post applicati

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 mils. The coat

45、ingthickness 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 radius such as Be

46、nd Type9(Fig. 1) shall have the same coating thickness requirementsas straight bars, when the “H“ dimension is equal to or less thanone-half of the “R“ dimension.NOTE 8Section 9.1.1 permits a maximum coating thickness of 405 m16 mils on bent sections of bars. Discussion of the effect of thepermissib

47、le 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 deformations. Aminimum

48、 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 thickne
