7. Requirements
for Def'ormations
7,1 Defo'matioiis
shail be spacecr arong the bar at substan-
tially uniform distances. The defbrmationJon
opposite sides of
the bar shall be similar in size, shape, and pattern.
7.2 The defo''arions
shall be plaied
witri respect to the axis
of the bar so that the incluclecl angle .is not less than 45o. Where
the li'e of deformations forms an includecl angle witrr the axis
of the bar from 45 to 70", inclusive, th" d"ior*utions
shail
reverse alternately in direction on each side, or those on one
side shall be reversed in direction from those on the opposite
side. Where the line of deformation is over 70., a revercal in
directiori shall not be recruired.
1.3 The average spacing or djstance between deformations
on each side of the bar shall not exceecl
1,/to
of the nominal
diameter of the bar..
7,4 The overall length of deformations
shall be such that the
gap (measured
as a chord) between the ends of the deforma_
tions shall not exceed IZ.5 Vo of the nominal pedmeter
of the
bar. where the ends terminete in a rib, the widtir of the rib shalr
be considered as the gap between these encls. The summation
o.f the gaps shall not exceed 25 Vo of the nominal perimeter
of
the bar'. The nominar perimeter
of the bar shall be i.14t6 ti,nes
the noniinal diameter.
7.5 The spacing, treight, and gap of defonnations
shall
confbrm to the requirements prescribed
in f'able l.
8. Measurements
of Deforrnations
8,1 The avemge spacing of deformations
shall be deter
yiled
by measuring the length of a minimum of i0 spaces and
dividing that le'gth by the number of spaces includecl in the
measurement. The rneasurement
shall begin fi.om a point on a
deformation at the beginning of the first space to a conesponcl-
ing point on a deformation after the last inclucled ipace.
Spacing measulements shall not be made over a bar area
containing biu narking symbols involving letters ol nnmbers.
8.2 The average height of defbrmations shall be determined
from measurements made on not less than two typical ctefbr_
mations, Determinations
shail be based on three measuremeuts
per defon,ation, one at the center of the overall length a'd the
other two at the quailer points of the overall lensth.
8.3 Insufficient height, insufficient circumfer6ntial
cover_
age, ot excessive spacing of deformations shail not constitute
cause fbr rejection unless it has been clearly established by
determinations
on each lot (see Note
2) testecl that typical
deformation
height, gap,
ol. spacing do not conform
to the
lilimum
rcquirements prescribed
in Section 7, No lejection
shall be made on the basis of measurcments
if fewer than ten
adjacent deformatior.rs
on each side of the bar are measured.
No're 2-As usecl rvithin the intent of 8.3, the term
,,lot,,
shall mean all
the bars of one bar size and pattem of deforrnaiions contarned in an
lndividual
shipping r.elease or shipping order..

defonnations where coating difficulties are prone to occul..
Norn 5*Deformed reinfbrcing bars destined to be mechanicallv_
spliced or butt-welded nray require a certain degree of roundness in order
for the splices to adequately achieve strength requirernents.

13.2 A Material Test Report, Certificate of Inspection, or
similar document printed from or used in electronic form fi.om
an eiectronic data interchange (EDI) transmission shall be
regarded as having the same validity as a counteq)art printed in
