20、est Procedure.3.2.3 Packaging Material StandardsShippers and packag-ers of steel products should specify materials that comply withapplicable specifications such as Specification D3950 andD3953.3.2.4 Safety WarningFailure to use proper packagingand load securement methods and materials may result in

21、property damage, serious injury or death. Satisfactory pastexperience with methods and materials in itself is not sufficientto assure safety. In addition to understanding and complyingwith applicable standards, shippers should consult with suppli-ers of packaging and load securement materials to det

22、erminethe best methods.3.3 Package Identification:3.3.1 All marking shall be legible and of a size consistentwith the space available to be marked. All tags shall besecurely affixed to the package to prevent loss in transit. Tagsshall be of a size to show clearly all of the information needed,and sh

23、all be able to withstand reasonable exposure to theelements.3.3.2 Marking Metal SurfacesUnless otherwise specified,metal surfaces shall be marked with either permanent ink orpaint.3.3.3 Marking ContainersAll materials used for markingcontainers shall be resistant to the elements.3.4 Weight and Count

24、When steel products are invoiced onmill scale weights and such weights are checked aftershipment, variations from invoice weights up to 1 % arenormally expected due to differences in the kind, type, andlocation of the scales. When invoiced on weights determinedby a scale at the mill, where there are

25、 large quantities of onesize or thickness, or where the number of pieces in a lift orbundle is needed to be shown on the identification tags andshipping papers, the count is considered approximate and theweight is the more accurate. When steel products are invoicedon theoretical weights, the invoice

26、 weights are based on thenumber of pieces or lineal feet shipped.3.5 Packaging Lists or TallyFurnished as needed. Suchlists are compiled as accurately as practicable, subject toconfirmation by the official shipping notice or invoice.4. Semi-Finished Steel Products4.1 Product Grades:4.1.1 Carbon, all

27、oy, and stainless steel ingots, blooms,billets, and slabs.4.1.2 Carbon steel skelp in coils.4.2 Marking:4.2.1 It is normal practice to stamp or paint the heat numberon each piece shipped loose and to show the heat number on atag attached to each secured lift of smaller size billets. Theordered size

28、and weight may be painted on at least one piece ofeach size when shipped loose or on at least one piece of eachsecured lift. Each skelp coil is tagged or marked with the heatnumber and the size.4.2.2 Color MarkingThere is no generally recognizedcolor code for identification of steel grades. When spe

29、cified,color marking to denote grade is applied. In such cases a dashof color on one end of loose pieces is sufficient. In the case ofsecured lifts of smaller sizes, the grade is shown on a tagattached to the lift or by a dash of one color on one end of thelift.5. Hot-Rolled Bars and Bar-Size Shapes

30、5.1 Product Grades:5.1.1 Carbon, alloy, and stainless steel bars, and bar-sizeshapes.5.1.2 Concrete reinforcing bars.5.2 Marking:5.2.1 Carbon, Alloy, and Stainless Steel Bars, and Bar-SizeShapes:5.2.1.1 It is normal practice to identify each lift or coil witha tag containing the following informatio

31、n:(1) Manufacturers name, brand, or trademark,(2) Size,(3) ASTM designation (year date is not needed),(4) Heat number,(5) Weight (except coils),(6) Purchasers name, and(7) Purchasers order number.5.2.1.2 Die Stamping of Carbon Steel BarsThe ultimateuses of the products do not usually need die stampi

32、ng.Therefore, this method of marking for other than mill identi-fication needs additional labor and handling.5.2.1.3 Die Stamping of Alloy and Stainless Steel BarsWhen specified, heat numbers or symbols are stamped on oneend or on the surface near the end of rounds, squares,hexagons, and octagons 2

33、in. (51 mm) and larger, and on flats2 in. in width or 2 in. or over in thickness.5.2.1.4 The above described marking is practicable onsmaller sizes down to a minimum of 1 in. (25 mm) in thicknessand 1 in. in width for flats, and not less than 1 in. in thicknessor diameter for other bars, but because

34、 of its precise nature,such marking delays normal production.5.2.1.5 Stamping of sizes under 1 in. is not practicable.These sizes are secured in lifts and tagged to show heatnumbers or symbols.A700 1425.2.1.6 Color MarkingThere is no standard color code foridentification of steel grades. When markin

35、g of bars withidentification colors is needed, the following practices areregularly employed:(1) Sizes 2 in. (51 mm) and over are marked on one endwith not more than two colors.(2) Sizes 112 in. (38 mm) up to 2 in. (51 mm) are markedon one end with not more than one color.(3) Sizes smaller than 112

36、in. (38 mm) are not markedindividually; but the bundle, lift, or pile (any size bar or flats)is marked on one end with a dab of paint of one color or notmore than two different colored stripes.(4) Bars are regularly painted after assembly into lifts, anddue to the non-uniformity of ends, it is not e

37、xpected that paintwill be on every bar in the lift. Any other paint marking slowsnormal production. Superimposed color marking needs addi-tional labor and time for drying.(5) When the back of the tag is color marked, one or twocolors are used or the names of the colors are given.5.2.2 Concrete Reinf

38、orcing Bars:5.2.2.1 It is normal practice to identify each lift with a tagcontaining the following information:(1) Manufacturers name, brand, or trademark,(2) Size or bar designation number, and(3) Grade and specification.5.2.2.2 Color MarkingWhen specified, a dab of paint, onecolor only for each gr

39、ade, is placed on one end of each lift todistinguish grades. Such marking augments but does notreplace the marking needs contained in the product specifica-tion.6. Cold-Finished Bars6.1 Product GradesCarbon, alloy, and stainless steel bars.6.2 Marking:6.2.1 Carbon, Alloy, and Stainless Steel Bars:6.

40、2.1.1 It is normal practice to identify each lift with a tagcontaining the following information:(1) Manufacturers name, brand, or trademark,(2) Size,(3) ASTM designation (year date is not needed),(4) Heat number,(5) Weight,(6) Purchasers name, and(7) Purchasers order number.6.2.1.2 Die StampingIt i

41、s not regular practice to die-stampcold-finished bars. Therefore, when specified, this method ofmarking retards the normal flow of materials.6.2.1.3 Color MarkingWhen the marking of bars withidentification colors is needed, the following practices areemployed:(1) Sizes 112 in. (38 mm) and over are m

42、arked on one endwith not more than two colors.(2) Sizes smaller than 112 in. are not marked individually,but the bundle, lift, or pile is marked on one end with a dab ofpaint of one color or not more than two different coloredstripes.(3) Any other paint marking slows normal production.(4) Superimpos

43、ed color marking also needs additionallabor and time for drying.(5) When the back of the tag is marked, one or two colorsare used or the names of the colors are spelled out.7.

44、ral shapes.7.1.2 Steel sheet piling.7.2 Marking:7.2.1 Carbon, High-Strength Low-Alloy, and Stainless SteelStructural Shapes:7.2.1.1 It is normal practice to mark each individual struc-tural shape shipped loose or tag each secured lift with thefollowing information:(1) Manufacturers name, brand, or t

45、rademark,(2) Section designation or size of section,(3) Heat number,(4) Length, and(5) Grade or type (stainless steel).7.2.1.2 Die StampingWhen specified, the heat number isdie-stamped in one location. Die stamping or hot rolling theheat number into structural shapes is not universally practiced.The

46、 standard sizes of steel die-stamps are14 in.,516 in., and38in. (6.4 mm, 7.9 mm, and 9.5 mm). Any additional or differentmarking other than as indicated above or specifying stampingwith steel die-stamps of sizes other than indicated is negotiatedbetween purchaser and manufacturer.7.2.1.3 Color Marki

47、ngOn structural shapes made to cer-tain ASTM specifications, color marking is needed. Eachstructural shape shipped loose is marked with one or two colorstripes. When shipped in secured lifts, the lift is marked with avertical stripe for the full height of the lift. Each piece in the liftshall be mar

48、ked by this stripe.7.2.2 Steel Sheet PilingIt is normal practice to mark eachsteel sheet piling with the following:(1) Manufacturers name, brand, or trademark,(2) Heat number, and(3) Length.7.2.2.1 Additional or different marking may need additionalhandling and complicates the normal marking procedu
