A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers zinc-coated steel welded wirereinforcement, plain a
3、nd deformed, or a combination of de-formed and plain wires, for reinforcement of concrete, in sizesnot less than 0.080 in. 2.03 mm and over nominal diameterfor plain wire and 0.113 in. 2.87 mm and over for deformedwire.1.2 This specification is intended to be applicable to cold-worked wire, drawn or
4、 rolled, plain or deformed, coated in acontinuous process.1.3 An alternative to a continuous coating process of wirebefore fabrication is a hot-dip process, where the welded wirereinforcement is immersed in a bath of molten zinc.NOTE 1Data on the corrosion resistance of galvanized steels inconcrete
5、are limited. The user is cautioned that the laboratory testingperformed on this material has been insufficient and may not accuratelyreflect the performance of the material when embedded in concrete asreinforcement.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separa
6、tely as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,
7、 if any, associated with its 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.

United States14.2 The purchaser shall have the option to specif
16、y additionalrequirements, including but not limited to, the following:4.2.1 Wire size number, wire spacing, and sheet or rollwidth and length,4.2.2 Minimum yield strength or Grade, and4.2.3 Requirements for inspection (see Section 9),5. General Requirements5.1 The wire used in the manufacture of wel
17、ded wirereinforcement shall conform to Specification A1064/A1064M.After galvanizing, the welded wire shall meet the requiredmechanical properties of Specification A1064/A1064M exceptfor the bend test requirements as prescribed in Table 1 of thisspecification.5.2 Welded wire reinforcement shall be fu
18、rnished either inflat sheets, or in rolls, as specified by the purchaser.5.3 The zinc used for coating shall be any grade thatconforms to Specification B6.6. Galvanizing6.1 Mass Weight Thickness of Coating and Test:6.1.1 This specification includes six classes of coatingweight mass when the welded w
19、ire reinforcement is coatedbefore fabrication and four coating thickness grades when thewelded wire reinforcement is coated after fabrication. Theweight mass of zinc coating is based on the measureddiameter of the wire when the stripping method is performedand the nominal diameter for all other meth
20、ods, and shallconform to the requirements shown in Table 2 or Table 3.Individual results not more than 10 % below the minimumvalues specified in Table 2 or Table 3 are allowed if the averageof at least two samples from the same coil are equal to orgreater than the minimum, individual results shall b
21、e not lessthan 1.08 oz/ft2330 g/m2.6.1.1.1 When the product is coated before fabrication in acontinuous coating process, coating weights are given in Table2 for various zinc coating classes.NOTE 2Zinc coated wire produced as “regular coating” shall have thefull surface covered with zinc, but there i
22、s no specified minimum weightof coating.6.1.1.2 When the product is coated after fabrication in ahot-dip process, coating thickness are given in Table 3 forvarious zinc coating grades.NOTE 3At the purchasers request the galvanized coating may bechromate treated. This is to minimize a reaction betwee
23、n the reinforcingsteel and fresh portland cement paste. Proprietary chromating solutions ofequivalent strength are permitted in place of the generic chemicaltreatment specified.6.1.2 Magnetic Thickness MeasurementsThe weightmass of the coating may be determined by magnetic thicknessgage measurements
24、 in accordance with Practice E376. Thethickness measurement is used to calculate the weight massby multiplying it by the surface area of coated wire and by thezinc density. Because this form of testing can yield inconsistentand potentially unreliable results on smaller sizes of wire, oneor more of t
25、he following methods shall be permitted to be usedto referee and take precedence over the results obtained bymagnetic thickness measurements.6.1.2.1 Stripping MethodThe weight mass shall be de-termined by stripping the coating from the steel wire specimenin accordance with Section 8 and Test Method
26、A90/A90M.6.1.2.2 Weighing Before and After GalvanizingTheweight mass shall be determined by weighing the samplebefore and after galvanizing. The difference between the twomeasurements divided by the surface area of the sampleprovides the weight mass. The original weighing shall occurafter pickling a
27、nd drying. The second weighing shall occurafter cooling to ambient temperature.6.1.2.3 MicroscopyThe weight mass shall be determinedby cross-sectional and optical measurement in accordance withTest Method B487. A cross-section sample of the steel shall bepolished and examined with an optical microsc
28、ope to deter-mine the coating thickness. The coating weight mass shall bedetermined by multiplying coating thickness by the surfacearea of the coated sample and by the density of zinc.6.1.3 Number of TestsFor determination of the coatingweight mass, three random samples shall be tested from eachlot.
29、 For each magnetic thickness measurement sample, five ormore measurements shall be made along the length and widthof the sample so as to represent the entire surface of thesample. A total of at least fifteen measurements shall beaveraged to obtain the coating thickness. For the microscopymethod, fiv
30、e samples shall be tested per lot. Each sample shallbe measured on four sides and the total of twenty measure-ments shall be averaged to obtain the coating thickness. For thestripping method and the weighing method, three samples perlot shall be measured.NOTE 4A lot shall be as follows: all wire of
31、the same size furnishedto the same steel reinforcing specification that has been galvanized withina single production shift.6.2 Handling:6.2.1 The identification of all reinforcing steel shall bemaintained throughout the coating and fabrication process tothe point of shipment.7. Finish and Adherence
32、 of Coating7.1 The zinc coating shall have no bare spots. The coatingshall be free of blisters, flux spots or inclusions, dross, and acidor black spots. To ensure large continuous length coils, weldsare permitted in the finished wire. A matte gray finish appear-ance shall not be itself a cause for r

37、est schedule for thenumber and frequency of tests for coating thickness.8.3 If the number and frequency of test are not specified bythe purchaser:8.3.1 One test specimen from every 20 000 ft21900 m2of welded wire reinforcement shall be tested for compliancewith Section 6.8.4 RetestsIf the average zi
38、nc coating weight massthickness fails to meet the requirements of Table 2 or Table 3,six additional random samples from the lot shall be permittedto be tested. If the average zinc coating weight mass of the sixsamples conforms to the specified coating thickness, the lotshall be accepted.9. Inspectio
39、n9.1 Inspection of the zinc-coated steel welded wire rein-forcement shall be agreed upon between the purchaser and themanufacturer as part of the purchase order or contract.9.2 The material shall be inspected at the galvanizers plantprior to shipment. However, if specified, the purchaser shallconduc
40、t the tests which govern the acceptance or rejection ofthe materials in his own laboratory or elsewhere.10. Rejection and Rehearing10.1 Unless otherwise specified, any rejection shall bereported to the manufacturer within five days from the time ofselection of test specimens.10.2 Welded intersection
41、s shall withstand normal shippingand handling without becoming broken, but the presence ofbroken welds, regardless of cause, shall not constitute cause forrejection unless the number of broken welds per sheet exceeds1 % of the total number of joints in a sheet, or if the materialis furnished in roll
42、s, 1 % of the total number of joints in 150 ft214 m2 of welded wire reinforcement and, furthermore,provided not more than one half the permissible maximumnumber of broken welds are located on any one wire.10.3 RehearingRejected materials shall be preserved for aperiod of at least two weeks from the
43、date of inspection, duringwhich time the manufacturer shall be permitted to make claimfor a rehearing and retesting.10.4 Rust formations on the cut ends of the wire and atwelded intersections are inherent characteristics of this mate-rial and shall not be cause for rejection.11.
