2、the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers rail-steel and axle-steel barsfor concrete reinforcement. Three types of produc

3、t are in-cluded, designated with a “rail symbol,” and an “R” for barsmade of rail-steel and with an “A” for bars made of axle-steel.The standard sizes and dimensions of deformed bars and theirnumber designations are given in Table 1. All sizes and gradesof all types may not be readily available; man

4、ufacturers shouldbe consulted to verify availability.1.2 The text of this specification references notes andfootnotes that provide explanatory material. These notes andfootnotes, excluding those in tables and figures, shall not beconsidered as requirements of the specification.1.3 Type “rail symbol”

5、 and Type R are of two minimumyield strength levels, namely 50 000 psi 350 MPa and 60 000psi 420 MPa designated as Grade 50 350 and Grade 60420, respectively. Type A is of two minimum yield levels,namely 40 000 psi 280 MPa and 60 000 psi 420 MPadesignated as Grade 40 280 and Grade 60 420, respective

6、ly.1.4 The weldability of the steel is not a requirement of thisspecification.1.5 This specification is applicable for orders in eitherinch-pound units (Specification A996) or SI units (Specifica-tion A996M).1.6 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded as standard.

7、Within the text, the SI units areshown in brackets. The values stated must be used indepen-dently of the other. Combining values from the two systemsmay result in nonconformance with the specification.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with it

8、s use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

17、d4.1.8 Certified mill test reports (if desired).5. Materials and Manufacture5.1 The bars shall be rolled from standard section Tee railsor from carbon steel axles for railway cars and locomotives. Noother materials, such as those known by the terms “rerolled,rail-steel equivalent, and rail-steel qua

18、lity” shall be substituted.6. Carbon Determination6.1 The chemical analysis of the material, as describedbelow, shall be determined in accordance with Test Methods,Practices, and Terminology A751. For axle-steel product, themanufacturer shall make a determination for the carbon contentof each axle r

19、eceived for manufacture into reinforcing bars.Based on these carbon determinations, all steel axles shall bestocked for subsequent rolling in separated lots by carbonrange. The ranges of carbon shall be determined by themanufacturer as those best suited to meet the mechanicalrequirements.6.2 When re

20、quested by the purchaser, the manufacturershall report the carbon range for each lot of bars furnished.7. Requirements for Deformations7.1 Deformations shall be spaced along the bar at substan-tially uniform distances. The deformations on opposite sides ofthe bar shall be similar in size, shape, and

21、 pattern.7.2 The deformations shall be placed with respect to the axisof the bar so that the included angle is not less than 45. Wherethe line of deformations forms an included angle with the axisof the bar from 45 to 70 inclusive, the deformations shallreverse alternately in direction from those on

22、 the opposite side.Where the line of deformations is over 70, reversal indirection shall not be required.7.3 The average spacing or distance between deformationson each side of the bar shall not exceed seven tenths of thenominal diameter of the bar.7.4 The overall length of the deformations shall be

23、 such thatthe gap (measured as a chord) between the ends of thedeformations shall not exceed 12.5 % of the nominal perimeterof the bar. Where the ends terminate in a rib, the width of therib shall be considered as the gap between these ends. Thesummation of the gaps shall not exceed 25 % of the nomi

24、nalperimeter of the bar. Furthermore, the summation of gaps shallnot exceed 25 % of the nominal permeter of the bar. Thenominal perimeter of the bar shall be 3.1416 times the nominaldiameter.7.5 The spacing, height, and gap of deformations shallconform to the requirements prescribed in Table 1.8. Me

25、asurements of Deformation8.1 The average spacing of deformations shall be deter-mined by measuring the length of a minimum of 10 spaces anddividing that length by the number of spaces included in themeasurement. The measurement shall begin from a point on adeformation at the beginning of the first s

26、pace to a correspond-ing point on a deformation after the last included space.Spacing measurements shall not be made over a bar areacontaining bar marking symbols involving letters or numbers.8.2 The average height of deformations shall be determinedfrom measurements made on not less than two typica

27、l defor-mations. Determinations shall be based on three measurementsper deformation, one at the center on the overall length and theother two at the quarter points of the overall length.8.3 Insufficient height, insufficient circumferential cover-age, or excessive spacing of deformations shall not co

28、nstitutecause for rejection unless it has been clearly established bydeterminations on each lot (Note 1) tested that typical defor-mation height, gap, or spacing does not conform to theminimum requirements prescribed in Section 7. No rejectionshall be made on the basis of measurements if fewer than

29、tenadjacent deformations on each side of the bar are measured.NOTE 1As used within the intent of 8.3 and 14.1, the term “lot” shallmean all the bars of one bar number and pattern of deformations containedin an individual shipping release or shipping order.9. Tensile Requirements9.1 The material, as

30、represented by the test specimens, shallconform to the requirements for tensile properties prescribed inTable 2.9.2 The yield point or yield strength shall be determined byone of the following methods.9.2.1 The yield point shall be determined by the drop of thebeam or halt in the gage of the testing

31、 machine.9.2.2 Where the steel tested does not have a well-definedyield point, the yield strength shall be determined by the offsetmethod (0.2 % offset), as described in Test Methods andDefinitions A370 (paragraph 13.2.1).TABLE 1 Deformed Bar Designation Numbers, Nominal Weights Masses, Nominal Dime

41、 of this specification.12.3 Surface imperfections or flaws other than those speci-fied in 12.2 shall be considered detrimental when specimenscontaining such imperfections fail to conform to either tensileor bending requirements. Examples include, but are not limitedto, laps, seams, slivers, cooling

42、or casting cracks, and mill orguide marks.13.
