ICC-ES AC369 – Acceptance Criteria for Steel Cable AssembliesScope
ICC-ES AC369 establishes comprehensive criteria for evaluating the suitability of steel cable assemblies for various applications. The scope of AC369 encompasses:- Materials: specifies acceptable steel wire, strands, and fittings, ensuring the use of high-quality materials with appropriate properties for the intended use.
- Design: provides guidelines for the configuration and assembly of cables, including the number and arrangement of strands, types of end terminations, and overall dimensions, ensuring proper design for strength, durability, and functionality.
- Fabrication: outlines requirements for manufacturing processes like swaging, socketing, and welding, ensuring proper fabrication techniques to maintain the integrity and performance of the assemblies.
- Testing: details performance tests such as tensile strength, fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance, ensuring the assemblies meet or exceed specified performance standards.
- Quality Control: establishes procedures for inspection, testing, and documentation to ensure consistent quality and adherence to standards throughout the production process.
