5 REQUIREMENTS
Pry bars shall pass the tests specified in para. 6 asapplicable.
5.1 Design
5.1.1 Type l: Close Quarter. Pry bars shall have asharply bent chisei end providing leverage in linitedspace applications and a pointed end for alignmentapplications.
5.1.2 Type : Die Setter. Pry bars shall have a benthalf loop chisel end for separating or prying applicationsand a straight chisel end for scrapinig or prying.
5.1.3 Type Ill: Handled. Pry bars shall have a slightlybent chisel end for separating. scraping. or prying appli-cations and a handle grip.
5.1.4Type V: Pinch. Pry bars shall have a slightlyberit chisel end for separating, scraping.or prying appli-cations and a pointed end for alignment applications.5.1.5 Type V: Rolling Head. Pry bars shall have aformed rounded chisel end that acts as a fulcrum toprovide leverage and a pointed end for alignment appli-cations.
5.2 Materials
The rnaterials used in the manufacture of pry barsshall be such as to produce pry bars conforning to therequirements specified herein.
5.3 Mechanical Properties
Pry bars shall have a maxirnun hardness of 50 HRCor equivalent.
5.4Surface Conditions
Pry bars shall be free of norfFunctional sharp edges,points, and surface rougtress that could inflict personalinjury to the user or adversely affect performance.
6TESTS
Many tests required herein are inherently hazardousand adequate safeguards for personnel and propertyshaill be employed in conducting such tests. Tests shaiilbe conducted at a temperature between 40*Fand 90F.Separate (new) samples shail be used for cach test.Failure to meet the requirements of the applicable tcstsindicates that the pry bars do not cormply with thisStandard.
6.1 Hardness
Hardness determination shall be made in accordancewith ASTM E18.
6.2 Prying Tests
6.2.1Prying End Test. The load shall be applied ncarthe middle of the handle or grip area of the piy bar (secFig. 6).Apply a slow,steady load to the pry bar to meetthe torque specified in Table 1. If the blade or tp fails.takes a permianent set, or f the handle loosens from thepry bar, the pry bar has failed this test.
6.2.2 Point End Test.The load shall be applied nearthe middle of the handie or grip arca of the pry bar iseeFig.7).Apply a slow, steady load to the pry bar to meetthe minimim bend angle specified in Table 2.The pry
