30、every 2000 ft 600 m ofcontinuous strand. The average of the coating thickness mea-surements for each set of six outer wires shall be supplied tothe purchaser upon request. Records of inspection duringmanufacture shall also be made available when requested.8.2 Continuity of Coating:8.2.1 After applic
31、ation of the coating, a continuous in-lineholiday detection procedure shall be employed using anaqueous electrolyte and a holiday detector with a minimumvoltage setting of 67.5 V DC, following the procedure fur-nished by its manufacturer. The approximate location ofholidays shall be recorded using a
32、utomatic devices or markingson the strand for later patching.8.2.2 The coated strand shall only be required to meet theholiday requirements of this specification with the in-lineholiday detector, but shall not be required to pass holidayinspection performed on stationary strand for residence timesex
33、ceeding 3 seconds.8.2.3 During the continuous holiday detection procedure,coated strand containing more than two holidays per hundredfeet 30 m shall be rejected and corrective action for theepoxy-coating process shall be instituted. Coated strand withtwo holidays or less per hundred feet 30 m shall
34、be patchedin accordance with the patching material manufacturers rec-ommendation. Patching of holidays shall be performed suchthat the total of the thicknesses of the coating and the patchdoes not exceed 1.1 mm 45 mils.NOTE 5Hand-held holiday detector checks should be performedregularly to verify th
35、e accuracy of the in-line system.8.3 Adhesion of Coating:8.3.1 The adhesion and shear strength of the coating shall beevaluated by bending a sample from a finished reel of coatedstrand 180 around a mandrel diameter equal to 32 times thenominal diameter of the strand. Test specimens shall be attherma
36、l equilibrium between 68 and 86F 20 and 30C.8.3.2 No cracking or disbonding of the coating shall bevisible to the unaided eye on the outside radius of the bentstrand. Evidence of cracking or disbonding of the coating shallA 882/A882M 04a2be considered cause for rejection of the coated strand repre-s
37、ented by the bend test sample. Retests shall be conducted inaccordance with 10.1.8.3.3 Fracture of the steel wire or strand in the bend test foradhesion of coating shall not be considered as an adhesionfailure of the coating, and another specimen from the sameproduction shift may be substituted.8.3.
38、4 The adhesion of coating shall also be evaluated by atension test in accordance with Section 6 of SpecificationA 416. The coated strand shall satisfy the requirements forbreaking strength, yield strength (1 % extension), and ultimateelongation described in Specification A 416/A 416M. Nocracks visib
39、le to the unaided eye shall occur in the coating upto an elongation of 1 % (yield strength).8.3.5 Sample length for the bend test shall be at least 5 ft, 0in. long 1500 mm.
