Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee A01 on Steel, Stainless Steel and Related Alloys, this specification was withdrawn in January 2019 in accordance with section 10.6.3 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.
РефератThis specification covers filled epoxy-coated seven-wire prestressing steel strands with protective fusion-bonded epoxy coating applied by the electrostatic deposition method. This specification also covers relaxation loss limits for filled epoxy coated strands. Prestressing steel strands shall be free of contaminants such as oil, grease, or paint. Steel strand surfaces shall be cleaned to meet coating requirements, such as coating thickness, coating continuity, coating adhesion, coating composition, and coating bond with concrete or grout. Smooth or grit-impregnated coating shall be applied by the electrostatic deposition method or other method that will meet the coating requirements. Pullout tests shall be performed three times annually or maybe repeated if the coating failed to meet the requirements.
Область применения1.1 This specification covers ASTM Specification A416/A416M low-relaxation Grade 250 and Grade 270 seven-wire prestressing steel strand with protective fusion-bonded epoxy coating applied by the electrostatic deposition method or other method that will meet the coating requirements in Section 8, and, except as allowed by 1.2, with the interstices of the seven wires filled with epoxy to minimize migration of corrosive media, either by capillary action or other hydrostatic forces.
Note 1—The manufacturer as identified throughout this specification is the coating applicator.
1.2 Upon special request by the purchaser, the interstices are left unfilled.
Note 2—Unfilled strand can corrode from the inside and its application for prestressing tendons in concrete or for rock and soil anchors is not recommended.
1.3 This specification is applicable for orders in either inch-pound units (as Specification A882) or SI units [as Specification A882M].
1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
