33、eformations shall be placed with respect to the axisof the bar so that the included angle is not less than 45.Wherethe line of deformations forms an included angle with the axisof the bar from 45 to 70,inclusive,the deformations shallreverse alternately in direction on each side,or those on oneside
34、shall be reversed in direction from those on the oppositeside.Where the line of deformation is over 70,a reversal indirection shall not be required.7.3 The average spacing or distance between deformationson each side of the bar shall not exceed710of the nominaldiameter of the bar.7.4 The overall len
35、gth of deformations shall be such that thegap(measured as a chord)between the ends of the deforma-tions shall not exceed 12.5%of the nominal perimeter of thebar.Where the ends terminate in a rib,the width of the rib shallbe considered as the gap between these ends.The summationof the gaps shall not
36、exceed 25%of the nominal perimeter ofthe bar.Furthermore,the summation of gaps shall not exceed25%of the nominal perimeter of the bar.The nominalperimeter of the bar shall be 3.1416 times the nominaldiameter.7.5 The spacing,height,and gap of deformations shallconform to the requirements prescribed i
37、n Table 1.8.Measurements of Deformations8.1 The average spacing of deformations shall be deter-mined by measuring the length of a minimum of 10 spaces anddividing that length by the number of spaces included in themeasurement.The measurement shall begin from a point on adeformation at the beginning
38、of the first space to a correspond-ing point on a deformation after the last included space.Spacing measurements shall not be made over a bar areacontaining bar marking symbols involving letters or numbers.8.2 The average height of deformations shall be determinedfrom measurements made on not less t
39、han two typical defor-mations.Determinations shall be based on three measurementsper deformation,one at the center of the overall length and theother two at the quarter points of the overall length.8.3 Insufficient height,insufficient circumferential cover-age,or excessive spacing of deformations sh
40、all not constitutecause for rejection unless it has been clearly established bydeterminations on each lot(see Note 1)tested that typicaldeformation height,gap,or spacing do not conform to theminimum requirements prescribed in Section 7.No rejectionshall be made on the basis of measurements if fewer
41、than tenadjacent deformations on each side of the bar are measured.NOTE1As used within the intent of 8.3,the term“lot”shall mean allthe bars of one bar size and pattern of deformations contained in anindividual shipping release or shipping order.9.Mechanical Requirements9.1 Tensile Properties:9.1.1
42、The material,as represented by the test specimens,shall conform to the requirements for tensile properties pre-scribed in Table 2.The yield strength or yield point shall bedetermined by one of the following methods:9.1.1.1 Extension under load using an autographic diagrammethod or an extensometer as
43、 described in Test Methods andDefinitions A 370.However,the extension under load shall be0.0035 in./in.0.0035 mm/mm(0.35%).When material isfurnished in coils,the test sample shall be straightened prior toplacing it in the jaws of the tensile machine(see Note 2).Straightening shall be done carefully
44、to avoid the formation oflocal sharp bends and to minimize cold work.Insufficientstraightening prior to attaching the extensometer can result inlower-than-actual yield strength readings.9.1.1.2 By the drop of the beam or halt in the gage of thetesting machine,where the steel tested has a sharp-kneed
45、 orwell-defined type of yield point.9.1.2 The percentage of elongation shall be as prescribed inTable 2.NOTE2Straightening should be done carefully to avoid the formationof local sharp bends and to minimize cold work.Insufficient straighteningprior to attaching the extensometer can result in lower-t
