United States14.2 Mass Weight of Coating and Test:4.2.1 This specification includes two classes of coatingmass weight. The mass weight of zinc coating b
16、ased 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 in is based on an assumedarea ratio of 1
17、.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 PracticeE376. The thickness measurement is used to calculate the massweight by multiplyin
18、g it by the surface area of coated bar andby the zinc density. One or more of the following methods shallbe permitted to be used to referee the results obtained bymagnetic thickness measurements.4.2.2.1 Stripping MethodThe mass weight shall be de-termined by stripping the coating from the steel rein
19、forcing barsection in accordance with Test Method A90/A90M.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 overestimatecoating mass weight by up to 10 %.4.2
20、.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 original weighing shall occur afterpickling and
21、 drying. The second weighing shall occur aftercooling to ambient temperature.4.2.2.3 MicroscopyThe mass weight 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 microscop
22、e to deter-mine the coating thickness. The coating mass weight shall bedetermined by multiplying coating thickness by the surfacearea of the coated sample and by the density of zinc.4.2.3 Number of TestsFor determination of the coatingmass weight, three random samples shall be tested from eachlot. F
23、or 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 coating thickness. For the microscopy method, fives
24、amples 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 5A lot shall be as follows: All bars of one s
25、ize 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 lot shall be permitted to be tested. If theavera
26、ge 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 paste. Proprietary chromating solutionsof equival
27、ent 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 massweight % of sodium dichromate in water (su
28、ch 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 galvanized reinforcing bars are at ambienttempera
29、ture, 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 solution.5. General Requirements5.1 The steel reinf
30、orcing bars shall conform to one of thefollowing specifications: A615M, A706M, or A996M A615,A706, or A996.5.2 The zinc used for coating shall be any grade thatconforms to Specification B6.6. Finish and Adherence of Coating6.1 The zinc coating shall have no bare spots. The coatingshall be free of bl
31、isters, 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 matte gray finish appearance shall not be itself acaus
32、e 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 outer layer. The mass, shape, and amount of cold worki
33、ng 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, g/m2oz ft2 of SurfaceClass IBar Designation Size No.

Fabrication7.1 Before Galvanizing:7.1.1 Steel reinforcing bars that are bent cold prior togalvanizing shall be fabricated to a bend diameter equal to orgre
35、ater 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 temperature from 480 to 560C 900 to1050F for 1 h per 25 m
36、m 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 of fabrication shallbe repaired in accordance
37、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 the purchaseris being performed, to those areas o

39、 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 with the requirements of 6.1.For materials that f
40、ail inspection, it shall be permissible for thematerials to be stripped and regalvanized and resubmitted forinspection. They shall conform to the requirements of thisspecification.9.
