If an individual wire or the rope fails to meet any requirements of this specification, that reel shall be rejected and two additional tests shall be made on samples of the wi

31、re rope from two different reels in the lot. If failure occurs in either of these tests, the lot of wire rope shall be rejected. The lot may be resubmitted for inspection after testing every reel for the characteristics in which the specimen failed and sorting out the defective reels. 10. INSPECTION

32、 10.1. All tests and inspection shall be made at the place of manufacture unless otherwise specified and shall be so conducted as not to interfere unnecessarily with the operation of the works. The manufacturer shall afford the inspector representing the purchaser all reasonable facilities to satisf

33、y him that the material being furnished is in accordance with this specification. When specified, inspection may be waived and certified copies of test reports furnished.

FITTINGS 12.1. The fittings shall be of the design called for in the plans and shall have the properties necessary

36、 to develop the strength of the wire rope. 2015 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved.
