| ICS Code (Steels for reinforcement of concrete): | 77.140.15 |
significance And Use:
Hard-drawn steel wire as used in prestressing concrete pipe may be exposed to elemental hydrogen favorable to hydrogen induced embrittlement and cracking. Resistance to hydrogen embrittlement is... View More
scope:
1.1 This test method describes procedures to determine the hydrogen embrittlement (HE) resistance of hard drawn steel wire used for prestressing concrete pipe.
1.2 HE resistance is reported as time-to-failure of specimens tested in a laboratory.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.4 This standard 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 standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
