Designation:A1055/A1055M16Standard Specification forZinc and Epoxy Dual-Coated Steel Reinforcing Bars1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A1055/A1055M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers deformed and plain steelreinforcing bars with a dual coating of zinc-alloy followed byan epoxy coating applied by the electrostatic spray method.1.2 The zinc-alloy coating is produced as one of two types:zinc-alloy applied by the thermal spray method(Type I)orzinc-alloy applied in accordance with Specification A1094/A1094M(Type II).NOTE1The coating applicator is identified throughout this specifica-tion as the manufacturer.1.3 Requirements for the zinc coating are contained inTable 1.1.4 Requirements for epoxy powder coatings are containedin Annex A1.1.5 Guidelines for construction practices at the job-site arepresented in Appendix X1.1.6 The text of this specification references notes andfootnotes which provide explanatory material.These notes andfootnotes(excluding those in tables and figures)shall not beconsidered as requirements of the specification.1.7 This specification is applicable for orders in eitherinch-pound units as Specification A1055 or SI units asSpecification A1055M.1.8 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded as standard.Within the text,the SI units areshown in brackets.The values stated in each system may not beexact equivalents;therefore,each system must be used inde-pendently of the other,except as specifically noted in Table 2.Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with this specification.1.9 This specification does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this specification to establishappropriate safety and health practices and determine theapplicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A615/A615M Specification for Deformed and Plain Carbon-Steel Bars for Concrete ReinforcementA706/A706M Specification for Deformed and Plain Low-Alloy Steel Bars for Concrete ReinforcementA775/A775M Specification for Epoxy-Coated Steel Rein-forcing BarsA944 Test Method for Comparing Bond Strength of SteelReinforcing Bars to Concrete Using Beam-End Speci-mensA996/A996M Specification for Rail-Steel and Axle-SteelDeformed Bars for Concrete ReinforcementA1094/A1094M Specification for Continuous Hot-Dip Gal-vanized Steel Bars for Concrete ReinforcementB117 Practice for Operating Salt Spray(Fog)ApparatusB833 Specification for Zinc and Zinc Alloy Wire for Ther-mal Spraying(Metallizing)for the Corrosion Protection ofSteelD4060 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of OrganicCoatings by the Taber AbraserD4417 Test Methods for Field Measurement of SurfaceProfile of Blast Cleaned SteelE29 Practice for Using Significant Digits in Test Data toDetermine Conformance with SpecificationsE527 Practice for Numbering Metals and Alloys in theUnified Numbering System(UNS)G14 Test Method for Impact Resistance of Pipeline Coatings(Falling Weight Test)G20 Test Method for Chemical Resistance of Pipeline Coat-ingsG62 Test Methods for Holiday Detection in Pipeline Coat-ings2.2 American Welding Society:3ANSI/AWS A5.33 Specification for Solid and CeramicWires and Ceramic Rods for Thermal SprayingAWS C2.23M C2.23 Specification for the Application of1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.05 on Steel Reinforcement.Current edition approved Dec.1,2016.Published March 2017.Originallyapproved in 2008.Last previous edition approved in 2010 as A1055 101.DOI:10.1520/A1055_A1055M-16.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from American Welding Society(AWS),8669 NW 36 St.,#130,Miami,FL 33166-6672,http:/www.aws.org.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 Thermal Spray Coatings(Metallizing)of Aluminum,Zinc,and Their Alloys and Composites for the CorrosionProtection for SteelAWS C2.25 C2.25M Specification for T
