Materials and Manufacture5.1 Steel used in the manufacture of direct tension indica-tors shall be produced by the basic-oxygen or electric-furnaceprocess.5.2 Design:5.2.1 Direct tension indicators shall have a configurationproduced by extrusio
16、n, punching, pressing, or similar forming,to permit a measurable decrease in thickness when placed incompression.5.2.2 The design shall be such that the degree of plasticdeformation shall indicate the tension in a tightened structuralbolt.5.3 Heat TreatmentThe process used for heat treatment ofDTIs
17、shall be through-hardening by heating to a temperatureabove the upper transformation temperature, quenching in aliquid medium, and then retempering by reheating to a suitabletemperature to attain desired mechanical/performance proper-ties.5.4 Protective Coatings:5.4.1 Unless otherwise specified, the
18、 direct tension indica-tors shall be furnished “plain,” with the “as fabricated” surfacefinish without protective coatings.5.4.2 When “zinc coated” is specified, the direct tensionindicators shall be zinc coated by the mechanical depositionprocess in accordance with the requirements of Class 50 ofSp

The manufacturer shall identify and maintain the integrityof each production lot of direct tension indicators from rawmaterial selection through all processing operations and treat-ments to final packing and shipment. Each lot shall be assignedits own lot-ident
26、ification number, each lot shall be tested, andthe inspection test reports for each lot shall be retained.10.2.2 For purposes of assigning an identification numberand from which test samples shall be selected, a production lot,shall consist of all direct tension indicators processed essen-tially tog
27、ether through all operations to placing in the shippingcontainer that are of the same nominal size, produced from thesame mill heat of steel, and heat treated in the same heattreatment cycle.TABLE 1 Chemical Composition RequirementsElementComposition, %HeatAnalysisProductAnalysisType 8.8 and 10.9Typ
