16、 section.The cross section of T posts shall be approximately 138 in. (35mm) wide, 138 in. deep, and18 in. (3.2 mm) thick. Unlessotherwise specified by the purchaser, the line post type is at themanufacturers option.5.2.2 Dimensions may vary slightly in individual design inmaintaining the control wei
17、ght per foot.5.3 Wire AttachmentsLine posts shall have corrugations,knobs, notches, holes, or studs so placed and formed as toengage a substantial number of fence line wires in properpositions.5.4 Anchor Plates:5.4.1 Each line post shall be manufactured with an anchorplate, unless otherwise specifie
18、d. The anchor plate shall bemade from carbon steel and shall be swaged or riveted to thepost in such a manner as to prevent displacement when theposts are driven.5.4.2 When specified, line posts may be furnished withoutanchor plates.5.5 Wire Fasteners:5.5.1 Unless otherwise specified by the purchase
19、r, each linepost shall be provided with not less than five suitable fastenersfor attaching fence wire to the posts.5.5.2 The fasteners shall be formed from zinc-coated C1010grade steel wire 0.120 in. (3.05 mm) diameter (minimumtensile strength of 65 (448) and zinc coated in accordance withSpecificat

Dimensions, Mass and Permissible Variations6.1 Nominal Weights and Tolerances:6.1.1 Nominal WeightPrior to fabrication by punching,drilling, attaching anchors, or finish coating, the line postsections shall have a nominal weig
21、ht of 1.33 lb/ft of the length.6.1.2 The weight of line posts plus anchor plates (ifspecified), prior to fabrication, drilling, or finish coating shallnot vary from nominal weights specified in Table 3 by morethan 65 %. Weight shall be determined in lots of five lineposts. The weight of the line pos
22、t shall be determined byweighing five (5) together with anchor plate. The nominalweight of each post will be determined by the average of the 5post weighed as specified in Table 3.6.2 Standard Lengths and Tolerances:6.2.1 Line posts shall be furnished in standard lengths of 5to 10 ft (1525 to 3050 m
23、m) inclusive, as specified by thepurchaser. Standard length increments are shown in Table 3.6.2.2 The length of line posts shall not vary from thatspecified more than 1.0 in. (25 mm) or +2 in. (+50 mm).6.2.3 The placement of the anchor plate shall be nominally16 in. (400 mm) from the bottom of the p
24、ost to the uppermostportion of the anchor plate and shall not vary by more than 63in. (676 mm).6.2.4 Anchor plates shall be tapered to facilitate driving, andshall have minimum area of 18 in. (11 600 mm) and shallweigh 0.67 lb (0.3 kg) 65%.7. Finish and Appearance7.1 Line posts shall be furnished pa
