1.1 This specification covers the requirements for compressible-washer-type direct tension indicators capable of indicating the achievement of a specified minimum bolt tension in a structural bolt.
1.2 Four types of direct tension indicators in nominal diameter sizes through 1 in. are covered:
1.2.1 Type 325 -direct tension indicators for use with Specification A 325 or F 1852 Type I bolts, nuts, and washers.
1.2.2 Type 325 - direct tension indicators for use with Specification A 325 Type 3 bolts, nuts, and washers.
1.2.3 Type 490 -direct tension indicators for use with Specification A 490 or F 2280 bolts, nuts, and washers.
1.2.4 Type 490 - direct tension indicators for use with Specification A 490 Type 3 bolts, nuts, and washers.
1.3 Direct tension indicators are intended for installation under either a bolt head or a hardened washer. (See Research Council on Structural Connections: Specification for Structural Joints Using ASTM A 325 or A 490 Bolts.)
1.4 The following precautionary statement pertains only to the test method portions, Section 12 and Appendix X1 of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.
