ASTM A325 OR A490 BOLTS 6-387 (8) Reuse of Bolts. A490 bolts and galvanized A325 bolts shall not be reused. Other A325 bolts may be reused if approved by the Engineer of Record, ‘Touching up or retightening previously snug tightened bolts which may have been loosened by the snugging of adjacent bolts shall not be considered to be a reuse. 9. Inspection {a)_ Inspector Responsibility. When inspection is required by the contract docu- ments, the Inspector shall determine while the work is in progress that the requirements of Sections 2, 3 and 8, as appropriate, of this Specification are met in the work. All connections shall be inspected to ensure that the plies of the connected elements have been brought into firm contact. Bolts in connections not identified as being slip-critical nor subject to direct tension nor as tensioned bearing connections as provided in 8(c)(2) should not be inspected for bolt tension. For connections identified to be installed in accordance with 8(c)(2), the Inspector shall monitor installa tion and tightening of bolts to ensure that bolts are tightened in accordance with one of the methods of 8(4), but should not test the bolts for actual installed pretension. For all connections specified to be slip critical or subject to axial ten- sion the Inspector shall observe the demonstration testing, and calibration procedures when such calibration is required, and shall monitor the instal- lation of bolts to determine that all plies of the material have been drawn together and that the selected procedure has been used to tighten all bolts to ensure that the specified procedure was followed to achieve the preten- sion specified in Table 4. Bolts installed by procedures in Section 8(d) may reach tensions substantially greater than values given in Table 4, but this shall not be cause for rejection. (b) Arbitration Inspection. When high-strength bolts in slip-critical connec- and connections subject to direct tension have been installed by any of the tightening methods in Section 8(d) and inspected in accordance with cclion O(a) anda disagreement exists as to the minimum tension of the Seti zen exis ner of Record. (1) The Inspector shall use a manual torque wrench which indicates torque by means of a diai or which may be adjusted to give an indi- cation that the job inspecting torque has been reached. (2) This Specification does not recognize standard torques determined from tables or from formulas which are assumed to relate torque to tension. Testing using such standard torques shall not be con- sidered valid (3) Arepresentative sample of five bolts from the diameter, length and grade of the bolts being inspected shall be tightened in the tension equal to approximately 15 percent of the required fastener tension and then to the minimum tension specified in Table 4. Material under the tumed element in the tension measuring device shall be the same as in the actual installation, that is, structural steel or Anunicas Inst uns oF Sra CONSTRUCTION
