15、 the responsibility of the purchaser to specify all requirements that are necessary for material ordered under thisspecification. Such requirements to be considered include, but are not limited to, the following:4.1.1 Quantity (feet metres),4.1.2 Nominal diameter of strand,4.1.3 Grade of strand,4.1.
16、4 Specially dimensioned strand (7.4), if desired,4.1.5 Weldless, if desired (8.1),4.1.6 Outside inspection, if required (11.1),4.1.7 Load-elongation curve, if desired (13.2),4.1.8 Packaging (14.1),4.1.9 Supplementary Requirement S1, if desired, and4.1.10 ASTM designation A416 A416M and year of issue
17、.5. Materials and Manufacture5.1 Base MetalThe base metal shall be carbon steel of such quality that when drawn to wire, fabricated into strand, and thenthermally treated, shall have the properties and characteristics prescribed in this specification.5.2 WireThe wire from which the strand is to be f
18、abricated shall be round and have a dry-drawn finish.NOTE 1This product is a composite of seven wires and is produced only to meet the prescribed mechanical properties. The chemical compositionof all wires or any individual wire is not pertinent to this application, and heat identity is not necessar
19、ily maintained. It is possible that wire from morethan one heat may be used in the manufacture of a reel or reelless pack. Traceability is based on identity of reels or reelless packs as maintained andreported by the manufacturer.5.3 TreatmentAfter stranding, strand shall be subjected to a continuou
20、s thermal-mechanical treatment to produce theprescribed mechanical properties. Temper colors which result from the thermal-mechanical treatment are considered normal for thefinished appearance of this strand.6. Mechanical Property Requirements6.1 Tests for mechanical properties shall be conducted in
21、 accordance with Test Methods A1061/A1061M.6.2 Breaking StrengthThe breaking strength of the finished strand shall conform to the requirements prescribed in Table 1.6.3 Yield StrengthYield strength in pounds kN shall be measured at 1 % 1.0 % extension under load. The minimum yieldstrength shall be 9
22、0 % of the breaking strength listed in Table 1. Initial loads for the test and minimum yield strengths are listedin Table 2.6.3.1 The extension under load shall be measured by an extensometer calibrated with the smallest division not larger than0.0001 in./in. 0.0001 mm/mm of gage length.6.4 Elongati
23、onThe total elongation under load shall not be less than 3.5 % using a gage length of not less than 24 in. 600mm. It shall be permissible to determine the total elongation value by adding, to the 1.0 % yield extension, the percent extensionor movement between the jaws gripping the strand after yield
24、 determination. The percent is calculated on the new base length ofjaw-to-jaw distance.TABLE 1 Breaking Strength RequirementsNominal Diameterof Strand, in. mmMinimum BreakingStrength ofStrand, lbf kNSteel Area ofStrand, in.2 mm2Weight Mass ofStrand lb/1000 ftkg/1000 mGrade 250 17250.250 6.4 9 000 40

37、 only prior to or at the sizeof the last thermal treatment, for example, patenting or controlled cooling. There shall be no welds in the wire after it has beendrawn through the first die in the wire drawing except as provided in 8.1.3.8.1.3 During fabrication of the strand, butt-welded joints are pe
38、rmitted in the individual wires, provided there shall not be morethan one such joint in any 150-ft 45-m section of the finished strand.8.1.4 When specifically ordered as “Weldless,” a product free of welds shall be furnished. When “Weldless” is specified, thestrand is produced as one continuous leng
39、th with no welds as allowed by 8.1.3.8.2 The finished strand shall be uniform in diameter and shall be free of imperfections.8.3 When the strand is cut without seizings, the wire shall not fly out of position. If any wire flies out of position and can bereplaced by hand, the strand shall be consider
40、ed satisfactory.8.4 The strand shall not be oiled or greased. Slight rusting, provided it is not sufficient to cause pits visible to a person withnormal or corrected vision, shall not be cause for rejection.NOTE 2Guidance for evaluating the degree of rusting on prestressed concrete strand is present
41、ed in Sason.49. Sampling9.1 Test specimens cut from either end of the reel or reelless pack are permitted. Any specimen found to contain a wire jointshall be discarded and a new specimen obtained.10. Number of Tests10.1 One test specimen shall be taken from each 30-ton 27-tonne production lot of fin
42、ished strand, and tested for breakingstrength, yield strength, and elongation.11. Inspection11.1 If outside inspection is required, the manufacturer shall afford the inspector representing the purchaser reasonable accessto the facilities, which concern the manufacture of the material ordered, to sat
43、isfy the inspector that the material is being furnishedin accordance with this specification. All tests and inspections shall be made at the place of manufacture prior to shipment, unlessotherwise agreed upon at the time of purchase, and shall be so conducted as not to interfere unnecessarily with t
44、he manufacturersoperations.12. Rejection12.1 Failure of any test specimen to comply with the requirements of the specification shall constitute grounds for rejection ofthe production lot represented by the specimen.12.2 The production lot shall be resubmitted for inspection by testing a specimen fro
45、m each reel or reelless pack and sortingout non-conforming material.12.3 If there is a reasonable doubt in the initial testing as to the ability of the strand to meet any requirement of this specification,two additional tests shall be made on specimens of strand from the same reel or reelless pack,
46、and if failure occurs in either ofthese tests, the strand shall be rejected.13. Certification13.1 If outside inspection is not required, a manufacturers certification that the material has been tested in accordance with andmeets the requirements of this specification shall be the basis of acceptance
47、 of the material. The certification shall include thespecification number, year of issue, and revision letter, if any.13.2 When requested in the purchase order or contract, the manufacturer shall furnish a representative load-elongation curvefor each size and grade of strand shipped.13.3 When the mo
48、dulus of elasticity of a seven-wire strand is provided, the cross-sectional area used to calculate that modulusalso shall be provided. The area provided in the certification shall be the area used to calculate the modulus of elasticity.13.4 A material test report, certificate of inspection, or similar document printed from or used in electronic form from anelectronic data interchange (EDI) transmission shall be regarded as having the same validity as a counterpart printed in thecertifiers facility.
