Description / Abstract:
This specification covers deformed and plain steel reinforcing
bars with a dual coating of zinc alloy and an epoxy coating. The
zinc alloy layer is applied by the thermal spray coating method
(metallizing) followed by an epoxy coating applied by the
electrostatic spray method.
NOTE 1—The coating applicator is identified throughout this
specification as the manufacturer.
Requirements of the zinc coating are contained in Table 1.
Requirements for fusion-bonded powder coatings are contained in
Annex A1.
Guidelines for construction practices at the job site are
presented in Appendix X1.
This specification is applicable for orders in either SI units
or inch pounds units.
The values stated in either SI or inch-pound units are to be
regarded as standard. Within the text, the inch-pound units are
shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact
equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of
the other, except as specifically noted in Table 2. Combining
values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with this
specification.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
