1. Scope*

1.1 General-This specification covers deformed ancl plainlow-alloy steel bars in cut rengths or coils for corrcr.etereinfbrcement intended for applicitions where restrictive rxe_chanical properties and chemical composition are required forcompatibility with controllecl tensile pr:operty applicatlons or toenhance

_w_eldability. The standard "sizes and clirnensions oideformed bars and their number designations arc given in'Ibble 1. The text of this specificatiorireferences notes andfootnotes that provide explanatory material. These notes andfootnotes, excluding those in tabljs, shall not be consiclered aslequirements of this speciflcation.

1.2 Grade-Bars are of two mjnimum yield strength levels:namely, 60 000 psi [420Mpa] and g0 000 15501, clesignated asGrade 60 1420) and Grade g0 [550], respectively.

. Nglg l*nars designarecl as Gracle g0 t5501, which were inrroduced inthe A706/A706M * 09a revision, may be outside consicteration of consen_sus design codes and specifications,

1.3 Plain bars, in sizes up to ancl including2%in. |63.5 mmlin diameter in coils or cut lengths, wheri ordered, shall befumished under this specification. For ductility proper.ties(elongation and bending), test provisions of the nearest smallernominal diameter defonned bar size shall apply,

7.4 contrutlled knsile properties-This specification lirnitsmechanical properties (?rble 2) to pr:ovide ihe desirecl yield/tensile properties for controllecl tensile propefty applications.

1.5 Welding-This specification limits inemcai composi_tion (6.2) and carbon equivalent (6.4) to enhance the weldabil_ity of the material. When steel is to be welded, a weldingprocedure sriitable for the chemical composition and intendeduse 0r service should be used. The use o1 the ratest ecrition ofAW,S DI.4/D1.4fo{ is recomrnendecl.

The rneasurement shall begin fi.om a point on adeformation at the beginning of the first space to a conesponcl-ing point on a deformation after the last inclucled ipace.Spacing measulements shall not be made over a bar areacontaining biu narking symbols involving letters ol nnmbers.

8.3 Insufficient height, insufficient circumfer6ntial cover_age, ot excessive spacing of deformations shail not constitutecause fbr rejection unless it has been clearly established by

determinations on each lot (see Note 2) testecl that typicaldeformation height, gap, ol. spacing do not conform to thelilimum rcquirements prescribed in Section 7, No lejectionshall be made on the basis of measurcments if fewer than tenadjacent deformatior.rs on each side of the bar are measured.
