ASTM A629-88(1994)e1

Withdrawn Rationale:

This specification covers the requirements for performance characteristics including simulated service tests and testing equipment for determining the characteristics of homogeneous steel flat bars and shapes except those covered by Specification A 627 and Specification A 628. This does not preclude the possibility of severing or penetrating this material by cutting means other than that described herein. This material can be severed with tungsten/carbide coated or tipped saws.

Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee F33 on Detention and Correctional Facilities, this specification was withdrawn in April 2004 and replaced by Test Methods A 627 on Tool-Resisting Steel Bars, Flats, and Shapes for Detention and Correctional Facilities.

Annual Book of ASTM Standards, Vol 15.08.
