ASTM A627-95
Historical Standard: ASTM A627-95 Standard Specification for Homogeneous Tool-Resisting Steel Bars for Security Applications
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM A627
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers requirements for the performance characteristics including conventional mechanical tests, simulated service tests and testing equipment for determining the characteristics of homogeneous tool-resisting steel bars and does not preclude the possibility of severing or penetrating this material by cutting means other than those described herein. This material can be severed with tungsten/carbide coated or tipped saws.
1.2 Three tests, describing minimum performance characteristics required for bars of different diameters covered by this specification are: (1) drop-weight test, (2) cutting test, and (3) deflection test.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
