ASTM F1554 vs. ASTM 529
ASTM F1554 vs. ASTM 529
(OP)
Hi Forum,
My supplier is handing me Mill Certs that conforms to ASTM 529 (carbon-manganese steel)for anchor bolts which should be fabricated and tested under ASTM F1554. I have both the ASTMs and it appears to me that F1554 has stringent quality manufacturing requirements than 529. There is not reference or relationships I can find with these ASTMs. ASTM 529 does not tie into fabricating anchor bolts... Has anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks!

That said did you call out the strength level correctly? Any supplementary requirements? Look in section 5 for what your order info should look like.
Now it is possible that these can meet multiple specs, but in any case the one that you specified should be one that is listed.

A529 does not cover anchor bolts. It doesn't come with any quality inspection and testing for anchor bolts. It meets the chemical composition and physical (tensile) requirements from F1554; however, coming from a quality background, this is not acceptable as this is a poor attempt to work around the F1554.
RE: ASTM F1554 vs. ASTM 529
You missed my point. The A 529 material would be supplied as bar which could be manufactured into anchor bolts and certified under F1554.
RE: ASTM F1554 vs. ASTM 529
I see. Under the Remarks section, the mill report states "Also Meets The Requirements of Specification ASTM F1554 Grade 55 .....". I would expect if the manufacturer fabricated the bar into an anchor bolt under ASTM F1554 Grade 55, that a separate COC would state that the material is fabricated and tested under ASTM F1554 Grade 55. One giveaway was that COC for thread conformance was not furnished under F1554.
