15、hocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.4.1.2 It shall be the responsibility of the galvanizer tomaintain identity of the reinforcing bars throughout the galva-nizing process and to the point of shipment.4.2 Mass Weight of Coating and Test:4.2.1 This specification includes two classes of coatingmass we
16、ight. The mass weight of zinc coating based onactual area of the bar shall conform to the requirements shownin Table 1.NOTE 3The nominal diameter of a deformed bar is equivalent to thatof a plain round bar having the same mass per metre weight per foot asthe deformed bar. Coating mass weight shown i
17、n is based on an assumedarea ratio of 1.2:1 (actual to nominal surface area of the steel reinforcingbar).4.2.2 Magnetic Thickness MeasurementsThe massweight of the coating shall be determined by magneticthickness gage measurements in accordance with PracticeE 376. The thickness measurement is used t
18、o calculate themass weight by multiplying it by the surface area of coatedbar and by the zinc density. One or more of the followingmethods shall be permitted to be used to referee the resultsobtained by magnetic thickness measurements.4.2.2.1 Stripping MethodThe mass weight shall be de-termined by s
19、tripping the coating from the steel reinforcing barsection in accordance with Test Method A 90/A 90M.NOTE 4This is a destructive test appropriate for small samples of aminimum of 2000 mm23 in.2 of surface area. It does note include themass weight of iron reacted with the zinc coating and may overest
20、imatecoating mass weight by up to 10 %.4.2.2.2 Weighing Before and After GalvanizingThe massweight shall be determined by weighing steel reinforcing barsbefore and after galvanizing. The difference between the twomeasurements divided by the surface area of the bars providesthe mass weight. The origi
21、nal weighing shall occur afterpickling and drying. The second weighing shall occur aftercooling to ambient temperature.4.2.2.3 MicroscopyThe mass weight shall be deter-mined by cross-sectional and optical measurement in accor-dance with Test Method B 487. A cross-section sample of thesteel shall be
22、polished and examined with an optical micro-scope to determine the coating thickness. The coating massweight shall be determined by multiplying coating thicknessby the surface area of the coated sample and by the density ofzinc.4.2.3 Number of TestsFor determination of the coatingmass weight, three
23、random samples shall be tested from eachlot. For each magnetic thickness measurement sample, five ormore measurements shall be made at various points throughoutthe sample so as to represent the entire surface of the sample.A total of at least fifteen measurements shall be averaged toobtain the coati
24、ng thickness. For the microscopy method, fivesamples shall be tested per lot. Each sample shall be measuredon four sides and the total of twenty measurements shall beaveraged to obtain the coating thickness. For the strippingmethod and the weighing method, three samples per lot shallbe measured.NOTE
25、 5A lot shall be as follows: All bars of one size furnished to thesame steel reinforcing bar specification that have been galvanized withina single production shift.4.2.4 RetestsIf the average zinc coating mass weightfails to meet the requirements of Table 1, six additional randomsamples from the lo
26、t shall be permitted to be tested. If theaverage zinc coating mass weight of the six samples con-forms to the requirements of Table 1, the lot shall be accepted.4.3 ChromatingThe galvanized coating shall be chromatetreated. This is to preclude a reaction between the bars andfresh portland cement pas
27、te. Proprietary chromating solutionsof equivalent strength are permitted in place of the genericchemical treatment specified.4.3.1 If the chromate treatment is performed immediatelyafter galvanizing, it may be accomplished by quenching thesteel reinforcing bars in a solution containing at least 0.2
28、massweight % of sodium dichromate in water (such as 2kg/m33oz of each 10 gal of quench water) or by quench chromatingin a minimum of 0.2 % chromic acid solution. The solutionshall be at least 32C 90F. The galvanized reinforcing barsshall be immersed in the solution for at least 20 s.4.3.2 If the gal
29、vanized reinforcing bars are at ambienttemperature, the chromate treatment shall be the same asspecified in except that 0.5 to 1.0 % concentration of sulfuricacid shall be added as an activator of the chromate solution. Inthis case, there is no temperature requirement for the activatedchromate solut
30、ion.5. General Requirements5.1 The steel reinforcing bars shall conform to one of thefollowing specifications: A 615M, A 706M, or A 996M A 615,A 706, or A 996.5.2 The zinc used for coating shall be any grade thatconforms to Specification B6.6. Finish and Adherence of Coating6.1 The zinc coating shal
31、l have no bare spots. The coatingshall be free of blisters, flux spots or inclusions, dross, and acidor black spots. Bars that stick together after galvanizing shallbe rejected. In addition, the presence of tears or sharp spikeswhich make the bar hazardous to handle shall be cause forrejection. A ma
32、tte gray finish appearance shall not be itself acause for rejection.NOTE 6Specific concentrations of elements such as silicon, carbon,and phosphorus in steel tend to accelerate the growth of the zinc-iron alloylayer so that the galvanized coating may have a matte finish with little orno free zinc ou
33、ter layer. The mass, shape, and amount of cold working ofthe bar being galvanized may also affect this condition.6.2 The coating shall be adherent so it cannot be removedby any reasonable process of handling or erection.TABLE 1 Mass Weight of Zinc CoatingCoating ClassMass Weight of ZincCoating,min,

Fabrication7.1 Before Galvanizing:7.1.1 Steel reinforcing bars that are bent cold prior togalvanizing shall
35、be fabricated to a bend diameter equal to orgreater than those specified in Table 2.7.1.2 Steel reinforcing bars shall be permitted to be coldbent to tighter diameters than specified in (limited to the extentthat the appropriate reinforcing bar specification allows) ifstress relieved at a temperatur
36、e from 480 to 560C 900 to1050F for 1 h per 25 mm 1 in. of bar diameter.7.2 After Galvanizing:7.2.1 When galvanizing is performed before bending, somecracking and flaking of the galvanized coating in the area of thebend shall not be cause for rejection (Note 7).7.2.2 Damage to the coating as a result
37、 of fabrication shallbe repaired in accordance with Section 9.NOTE 7The tendency for cracking of the zinc coating increases withbar diameter and with severity and rate of bending.8. Inspection8.1 The inspector representing the purchaser shall haveaccess at all times, while work on the contract of th
38、e purchaseris being performed, to those areas of the galvanizers plantwhich concern the manufacture of the material ordered. Thegalvanizer shall afford the inspector all reasonable facilities tosatisfy him that the coating is being furnished in accordancewith this specification.8.2 The material shal
39、l be inspected at the galvanizers plantprior to shipment. However, if specified, the purchaser shallmake the tests which govern the acceptance or rejection of thematerials in his own laboratory or elsewhere.8.3 Visual inspection of materials ready for shipment shallbe made to determine conformity wi
40、th the requirements of 6.1.For materials that fail inspection, it shall be permissible for thematerials to be stripped and regalvanized and resubmitted forinspection. They shall conform to the requirements of thisspecification.9. Permissible Amount of Damaged Coating and Repairof Damaged Coating9.1
41、The maximum amount of repaired damaged coatingshall not exceed 1 % of the total surface area in each 0.3-m1-ft length of the bar. This limit on repaired damaged coatingshall not include sheared or cut ends that are repaired with azinc-rich formulation in accordance with Practice A 780/A 780M (see 9.
42、3).9.2 All damaged coating due to fabrication and handling, tothe point of shipment to the job-site, shall be repaired with azinc-rich formulation in accordance with Practice A 780/A 780M.9.3 When coated bars are sheared, saw-cut, or cut by othermeans during the fabrication process, the cut ends sha
43、ll becoated with a zinc-rich formulation in accordance with PracticeA 780/A 780M.10.
