ASTM A325 OR \490 BOLTS 6-375 dimensions from those of the specified bolts and nuts. Their installation procedure and inspection may differ from procedures specified for regular high-strength bolts in Sections 8 and 9. When a different installa dure or inspection is used, it shall be detailed in a supplemental specifica- tion applying to the alternative fastener, and that specification must be approved by the Engineer of Record. (e) Washers. Flat circular washers and square or rectangular beveled washers shall conform to the current requirements of the American Society for Testing and Materials, “Specification for Hardened Steel Washers,” ASTM F436, (©) Load Indicating Devices. Load indicating devices may be used inconjune- tion with bolts, nuts and washers specified in 2(a) through 2(e). Load indicat- ing devices shall conform to the requirements of American Society for Test- ing and Materials’ “Specification for Compressible-Washer-Type Direct ‘Tension Indicators for Use with Structural Fasteners,” ASTM F959, Sub- ject t0 the approval of the Engineer of Record, direct tension indicating devices different from those meeting the requirements of ASTM F959 may be used provided they satisfy the requirements of 8(d)(4). If their installa- tion procedure and inspection are not identical to that specified in 8(4)(4), they shall be detailed in supplemental specifications provided by the ‘manufacturer and subject to the approval of the Engineer of Record. (g) Faying Surface Coatings. Paint, if used on faying surfaces of connections which are not specified to be stip critical, may be of any formulation. Paint, used on the faying surfaces of connections specified to be slip critical, shall be qualified by test in accordance with “Test Method to Determine the Slip Coefficient for Coatings Used in Bolted Joints” as published by the Research Council on Structural Connections. (See Appendix A.) Manufacturer's cer- tification shall include a certified copy of the test report. 3. Bolted Parts ened, and may be coated or noncoated. The slope of the surfaces of parts ‘in contact with the bolt head or nut shall not exceed 1:20 with respect to ‘a plane normal to the bolt axis. (b) Surface Conditions. When assembled, all joint surfaces, including surfaces adjacent to the bolt head and nut, shall be free of scale, except tight mill scale, and shall be free of dirt or other foreign material. Burrs that would prevent solid seating of the connected parts in the snug tight condition shall be removed. Paint is permitted unconditionally on the faying surfaces in connec- ‘The faying surfaces of slip-critical connections shall meet the require- ‘ments of the following paragraphs, as applicable. (1) Innoncoated joints, paint, including any inadvertent overspray, shall be excluded from areas closer than one bolt diameter but not less AMERICAN INstrrvt® oF Sram ConstRUCTION
