ASTM A1094/A1094M-15
(Specification)Standard Specification for Continuous Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel Bars for Concrete Reinforcement
Standard Specification for Continuous Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel Bars for Concrete Reinforcement
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers steel reinforcing bars, with protective zinc or zinc-alloy coatings applied by the continuous hot-dip process.
Note 1: The galvanizer is identified throughout this specification as the manufacturer.
1.2 Guidelines for construction practices at the job-site are presented in Appendix X1.
1.3 Guidelines for use of continuous hot-dip galvanized reinforcing bars with non-galvanized steel forms are presented in Appendix X2.
1.4 The text of this specification references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes shall not be considered requirements of the specification.
1.5 This specification is applicable for orders in either inch-pound units (as Specification A1094) or SI units (as Specification A1094M).
1.6 The values stated in either inch-pound or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. 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 this specification.
1.7 This specification 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 specification to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
