1.1 This specification covers deformed and plain steel reinforcing bars which prior to surface preparation are prefabricated and then coated with a protective fusion-bonded epoxy coating by electrostatic spray or other suitable method.
1.2 Prefabricated steel reinforcing bars coated with fusion-bonded epoxy powder coating in accordance with this specification are intended to be fabricated before being coated.
1.3 Organic coatings other than epoxy may be used provided they meet the requirements of this specification.
1.4 Requirements for epoxy coatings are contained in Annex A1.
1.5 Guidelines for application process and product test procedures of epoxy coatings for steel reinforcing bars are presented in Appendix X1.
1.6 Guidelines for construction practices at the job-site for coated steel reinforcing bars are presented in Appendix X2.
1.7 This specification is applicable for orders in either SI (metric) units (as Specification A934M) or inch-pound units [as Specification A934].
1.8 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. 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 the standard.
