August 2008, PIP Process Industry Practices Structural PIP STF05121 Fabrication and Installation of Anchor Bolts PURPOSE AND USE OF PROCESS INDUSTRY PRACTICES In an effort to minimize the cost of process industry facilities, this Practice has ‘been prepared from the technical requirements in the existing standards of major industrial users, contractors, or standards organizations. By harmonizing these technical requirements into a single set of Practices, administrative, application, and engineering costs to both the purchaser and the manafscturer should be reduced. While this Practice is expected to incorporate the majority of requirements of most users, individual applications may involve requirements that will be appended to and take precedence over this Practice, Determinations concerning fitness for purpose and particular matters or application of the Practice to particular project or engineering situations should not bbe made solely on information contained. in these materials. The use of trade names from time to time should not be viewed as an expression of preference but rather recognized as normal usage in the trade, Other brands having the same specifications fare equally correct and may be substituted for those named. All Practices or guidelines are intended to be consistent with applicable laws and regulations including OSHA requirements. To the extent these Practices or guidelines shoutd conflict with OSHA or other applicable laws or regulations, such laws or regulations must be followed. Consult an appropriate professional before applying or acting on any material contained in or suggested by the Practice. ‘This Practice is subject to revision at any time by the responsible Function Team and will be reviewed every 5 years. This Practice will be revised, reatfirmed, or withdrawn.

This Practice elso provides information forthe design engineer to standardize bolt lengihs. The intent of this Practice is to minimize the use of non- standard bolt lengths. 4.2 Scope ‘This Practice provides the details and requirements for anchor bolt fabrication and installation. Two standard lengths are shown for each diameter anchor bolt. This Practice also provides requirements for non-standard bolt lengths. 2.___References Applicable requirements in the followiiig Practices and industry codes and standards shall be considered an integral part ofthis Practice. The edition in effect onthe date of contract award shall be used, except as stherwise noted. Short titles will be used herein where appropriate. 24 Process Industry Practices (PIP) — PIP STS03001 - Plain and Reinforced Concrete Specification 2.2 Industry Codes and Standards American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) = ASTM A1S3/A153M - Standard Specification for Zine Coating ([fot-Dip) on Iron and Steel Hardware — ASTM AS63 - Standard Specification for Carbon and Alloy Steel Nuts = ASTMF436 - Standard Specification for Hardened Stee! Washers ~ ASTMF1SS4-Standard Specification for Anchor Bolts, Steel, 36, 55, and 105-kst Yield Strength Requirements 34 General 3.1.1 Unless a non-standard bolt length is required, the design engineer shall specify one of the two standard length anchor bolts shown for each anchor bolt diameter in the Anchor Bolt Data Table. 3.1.2 Non-standard bolt lengths may be required for the following reasons: a. A longer than necessary bolt length may cause the foundation to be deeper than practical b. A longer than necessary bolt length may cause the anchor bolt to project into the foundation (mat), which would increase construction cost. Page 20f6 Process Industry Practices August 2003 32 33 34 35 Process Industy Practices Bolt Callout ‘Anchor bolts shall be identified on design drawings as follows: ~ Leva’, “ASLY— B=3 34" Diameter ——1 Type Projection from top of concrete (Galled out only ifnot shown on foundation section) ‘at quantity at top (shown only if two muts are required) Bolt length (shown only ifnon-standard or if required per note below) PIP STFO5121 Fabrication end Instllation of Anchor Bots To properly transfer load to the reinforcing stee!, the anchor bolt may need to be longer than the stendard bolt 3.13 Ifa non-standard bolt length is required, it should be an even dimension (an even number of inches) and should be significantly different in length than the standard length bolt (at least 6 inches shorter or longer than the closest standard length bolt) Materials 3.2.1 Bolts shall conform to ASTM F1554, Grade 36, with UNC-2A threads except as otherwise specified on the design drawing. 3.2.2. Nuts shall conform to ASTM A563, Grade A, heavy hex with UNC-2B threads, Washers shall be ASTM F436. 3.2.3 Headed bolts (conforming to Section 3.2.1) of at least the same length above the bottom ut (see “Anchor Bolt Details”) are an acceptable substitution Comment: For record purposes, lengths of standard length anchor bolts shall be noted either i the call-out or in notes on the drawings. The engineer ray duplicate the Anchor Bolt Data Table (this Practice) on the design drawing. Fabrication 341 Unless otherwise specified, all bolts (otal bolt length), nus, and washers shall be hot-dip galvanized after fabrication in accordance with ASTM 4153, Class C. 3.42. Excess galvanizing material shall be removed from the threaded portions of the bolts by the use of a centrifuge or by mechanical chasing of the threads 3.4.3. The fit of nuts on threads of anchor bolts shall be verified before shipment. Assemblies 3.5.1 Type “A,” “B," and “N” bolt assemblies shall consist of anchor bolt with tack-welded nut at bottom and nut(s) and washer at top. Refer to “Anchor Bolt Details.” Page 3 of6 Pip STF0121 Fabrication and Inetallation of Anchor Bolts 36 Page 4 of6 352 August 2003 ‘Type “ASL,” “BSL,” and “NSL” bolt assemblies shall consist of anchor bolt with tack-welded nut at bottom and sleeve, mut(s), and washer at top. Refer to “Anchor Bolt Details.” Installation 361 3.62 3.63 364 365 Unless noted otherwise on the design drawings, tolerances shall be as specified in PIP STS03001. Unless noted otherwise on design drawings, anchor bolt steeves for stationary equipment and structural beseplates shall be filled with grout after the column or equipment is in plece and the anchor bolts are aligned. Water (oF other loose particles shall not be allowed to collect in the sleeve before the sleeve is grouted. ‘Unless noted otherwise on the design drawings, anchor bolt sleeves for ‘machinery shall be filled with nonbonding moldable material before grouting. - ‘Anchor bolt threads shall be covered with duct tape or other suitable means ‘0 keep them clean and to prevent any damage that might occur during the ‘preparation of the foundation for grouting and the actual grouting of the foundation, ‘Unless torque value is specified on design drawings or atthe locations of slide plstes, anchor bolts shall be tightened to a snug condition. At slide plate locations, nuts shall be backed off a half tum and a double nut shall be added.
