(05.1.2008 American National Standard for Wood Poles and Wood Products — Specifications & Dimensions 1__ SCOPE & GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 11 Scope This standard provides minimum specifications for the quality and dimensions of wood poles that are to be used as single-pole utility structures. The poles described herein are considered as simple cantilever members subject to transverse loads only. Fiber strength values, provided as a basis for determining pole class sizes, apply only to poles that meet or exceed the minimum quality specifications. Requirements for the preservative treatment of poles are outside the scope of this standard. However, where such treatment or conditioning may affect strength, limitations are provided in section 5.1.2. [See also standards such as those published by American Wood Protection Association (AWPA) and ASTM]. 1.2 General requirements The species, the length, and class of poles; the type of treatment (including seasoning details, if seasoning is desired); aids to penetration such as incising, groundline boring, or kerfing; and complete details for roofing, gaining, boring, and branding not included in this standard shall be given in purchase orders. Complete detailed instructions shall be given to the supplier whenever the requirements of this standard are modified to meet special conditions. 2; NORMATIVE REFERENCES: The standards listed below contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this American National Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, therefore users of this standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards.

Boulton drying: Drying by heating in nonaqueous solution under vacuum. 3.3. check: The lengthwise separation of the wood that usually extends across the rings of annual growth and commonly results from stresses set up in wood during seasoning. 34 compression wood: Abnormal wood formed on the lower side of branches and inclined trunks of softwood trees. Compression wood is identified by its relatively wide annual rings, usually eccentric; relatively large amount of summerwood, sometimes more than 50% of the width of the annual rings in which it occurs; and its lack of demarcation between springwood and summerwood in the same annual rings. Compression wood, compared with normal wood, shrinks excessively lengthwise. 35. cone hole: A hole formed by the stalk of a pine cone during the radial growth of the main stem of several species of pine, principally Radiata. In Radiata pine, cone holes are typically less than 1/2 inch (13mm) in diameter, exist in the crown of the tree, and extend from the surface of the pole to the pith. 3.6 cross break: A separation of the wood cells across the grain. Such breaks may be due to internal strains resulting from unequal longitudinal shrinkage or to external forces. 3.7 dead streak: An area, devoid of bark, resulting from progressive destruction of the growth cells of ‘wood and bark at the edges of the streak. On a pole, a dead streak is characterized by a discolored weathered appearance and by lack of evidence of overgrowth along the edges of the deadened surface. 3.8. decay: The decomposition of wood substance by fungi. 3.9 decay, advanced (or typical): The older stage of decay in which the destruction is readily recognized because the wood has become punky, soft and spongy, stringy, ring-shaked, pitted, crumbly, or ~ in poles not stored or rafted in water -- is in a soggy condition. Decided discoloration or leaching of the rotted wood is often apparent. 3.10 decay, incipient: The early stage of decay that has not proceeded far enough to soften or otherwise perceptibly impair the hardness of the wood. Although the wood is invaded and some of its properties may have deteriorated, no visible change has occurred, with perhaps the exception of minor discoloration. Incipient decay can occur in living trees. 3.11 decayed knot: A knot containing decay. Two types of decayed knot are recognized: ‘+ Type I: Knots containing sot ot loose fibers (decay) that may extend the full length ofthe knot into the pole and that are associated with heat rot; 4+ Typell:Knots containing soft or loose fibers (decay) that are not associated with hear rot 4 Available from the US. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402 2ANSI 05.1.2008 3:12 face of pole: The concave side of greatest curvature in poles with sweep in one plane and one direction, or the side of greatest curvature between groundline and top in poles having reverse or double sweep. 3.13. groundline section: That portion of a pole between 1 foot (30cm) above and 2 feet (61cm) below the groundline, as defined in the pole dimension Tables (see Tables 3 through 10, or Tables 3M through 10M). 3.14 hollow heart: A void in the heartwood caused by decay or insect attack. 3 3.15 hollow pith center: A small hole at the pith center of the trunk or of a knot caused by disintegration of the pith (small soft core occurring in the structural center of a tree or branch). 3.16 insect damage: Damage resulting from the boring into the pole by insects or insect larvae, Scoring or channeling of the pole surface is not classed as insect damage. 3.17 kiln drying: Drying by the use of heated air in batch or progressive-type kilns. 3.18 knot cluster: Two or more knots grouped together as a unit, the fibers of the wood being deflected around the entire unit; distinct from a group of single knots in which each is a unit. A knot cluster shall be considered as a single knot. 3.19 knot diameter: The diameter of a knot on the surface of the pole measured in a direction at right angles to the lengthwise axis of the pole. The sapwood as well as the heartwood portion of a knot shall be included in the measurement, NOTE - Fora description of means for defining the limits of knots, ee ASTW: D9. 3.20. red heart: A condition caused by a fungus, Fomes pini, which occurs in the living tree. It is characterized in the early stages of infection by a reddish or brownish color in the heartwood. This is known as “firm red heart.” Later the wood of the living tree disintegrates (decays) in small, usually distinct, areas that develop into whitelined pockets. 3.21 sap stain: A discoloration of the sapwood, caused by the action of certain molds and fungi, which is not accompanied by softening or other disintegration of the wood. 3.22 scar: A depression in the surface of the pole resulting from a wound where healing has not reestablished the normal cross section of the pole. 3.23 scar, turpentine acid face: An area in the lower portion of a southern pine pole where bark hack removal with acid applied has caused resin to flow. No removal of sapwood has occurred. 3.24 scar, turpentine cat face: A depression in the surface of a southern pine pole resulting from a wood hack into the sapwood, where healing has not reestablished the normal cross section of the pole. 3.25 shake: A separation along the grain, the greater part of which occurs between the rings of annual growth,ANSI 05.1.2008 3.26 shelling: Ring separation extending to the surface of round or sawn timber normally following the growth rings and often associated with limiting defects such as knots, compression wood or shake. Ring separation usually becomes more pronounced as the product dries and may be further aggravated by stress developed during horizontal lifting or loading. 3.27. short crook: A localized deviation from straightness that, within any section 5 feet (1.5m) or less in length, is more than 1/2 the mean diameter of the crooked section. (See Figure 1, Diagram 3.) 3.28 spiral-grained (twist-grained) wood: Wood in which the fibers take a spiral course about the trunk of a tree instead of a vertical course. The spiral may extend in a right-handed or left-handed direction around the tree trunk. Spiral grain is a form of cross grain. 3.29 split: A lengthwise separation of the wood extending completely through the piece from one surface to another. 3.30 steam conditioning: Subjecting poles in a closed vessel to steam prior to treatment. 3.31 sweep: Deviation of a pole from straightness. (See Figure 1, Diagrams 1 and 2.) 4 POLE CLASSES NOTE See Annexes. Poles meeting the requirements of this standard are grouped in the classes identified in Tables 3 through 10 (or Tables 3M through 10M), based on their circumference measured 6 feet (1.8m) from the butt, after bark removal and/or shaving. Poles of a given class and length are designed to have approximately the same load-carrying capacity, regardless of species. Annex B provides further information. s 5 MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS 5.1 General 5:11 Species & designated fiber strength values NOTE - See Table 1. ‘The designated fiber strength values are for the pole groundline locations given in Tables 3 through 10 (or Tables 3M through 10M). 5.1.2 Conditioning, seasoning, & treatment limitations Although preservative treatment of poles is outside the scope of this standard, where conditioning the wood for treatment or where the actual process of preservation could reduce the designated fiber strength values below those listed in 5.1.1, limitations on the processes are contained in this section. If the limitations in this section are exceeded, the minimum circumference 6 feet (1.8m) from the butt, as specified Tables 3 through 10 (or Tables 3M through 10M) must be adjusted to account for the reduced strength.ANSI 05.1.2008 5.1.21 Air seasoning Air seasoning is required for poles of species listed in Treatment group A and not listed in any other group in Table 1. It is permitted for all other species. Such air seasoning shall be sufficient to ensure conformance with the user’s specifications for preservative treatment. Presteaming or aftersteaming is permitted for species in Treatment group A. However, if such steaming is employed, the maximum temperature shall not exceed 240°F (115°C). The total steaming time from the time steam is introduced into the cylinder, including both initial and final steam, shall not exceed 4 hoturs duration (see exception in 5.1.2.5). Up to 6 hours steam at temperatures up to 240°F (115°C) may be employed for ponderosa pine poles, provided the moisture content (calibrated to the basis of oven dry weight moisture content) measured with a resistance-type moisture meter with insulated pins is not over 25 percent at 2.5 inches (60mm) from the surface at midlength when steaming commences. Otherwise, the maximum steaming time for ponderosa pine poles is 4 hours. 5:1.22 Boulton drying temperature ‘The temperature employed in Boulton drying poles of species listed under Treatment group B of Table 1 shall not exceed 220°F (104°C). These poles may be steamed up to 240°F (115°C) for a maximum time of 4 hours, but such steaming shall be limited to steaming after treatment. 5.1.2.3 Steam conditioning ‘The steam temperature employed in steant conditioning for poles of species in Treatment group C of Table 1 shall not exceed 245°F (118°C). The time duration for poles with specified circumferences 37.5 inches (95cm) or less at 6 feet (1.8m) from the butt shall not exceed 17 hours and for poles with specified circumferences larger than 37.5 inches (9.5m) at 6 feet (1.8m) from the butt shall not exceed 20 hours. 5.1.2.4 Kiln drying Where kiln drying is employed on southern pine, ponderosa pine, red pine, jack pine, lodgepole pine, Douglas-fir, and western larch, the maximum dry bulb temperature shall be increased gradually and shall not exceed 170°F (77°C), with an exception noted below. Where kiln drying is employed on western red cedar, the maximum dry bulb temperature shall be increased gradually and shall not exceed 160°F (71°C), Where kiln drying is employed on Chilean radiata pine, the maximum dry bulb temperature shall be increased gradually and shall not exceed 180° F (82° C). In compartment kilns operating at temperatures up to 170°F (77°C), the maximum wet bulb depressions shall not exceed 50°F (10°C) with the exception that during the first 24 hours there is no limitation on wet bulb depression. In progressive-type kilns operating at temperatures up to 170°F (77°C), the maximum wet bulb depression shall not exceed 50°F (10°C) in the body of the kiln and 90°F (32°C) at the entrance to the kiln. Fxception: Drying over 170°F (77°C) is permitted for southern pine, red pine, lodgepole pine, Douglas- fir, and western larch species. The maximum dry bulb temperature shall not exceed 230°F (110°C) for these species. For dry bulb temperatures over 200°F (93°C), the wet bulb depression shall be not less than 50°F (10°C) with the exception that during the first 24 hours there is no limitation on wet bulb depression. :ANSI 05.1.2008 5.1.25 Steaming (Douglas-fir & western larch) Douglas-fir and western larch poles that are to be treated with water-borne preservatives and that have not been Boulton dried may be stemmed at a maximum temperature of 240°F (115°C), For poles in this category, the maximum duration starting with the time steam is introduced into the cylinder, including, both initial and final steam, shall not exceed 8 hours, provided each pole before steaming has a ‘maximum moisture content not exceeding 25 percent when measured with a resistance-type moisture meter (calibrated to the basis of oven dry weight moisture content) with insulated pins at 2.0 inches (60mm) from the surface at mid-height. 5.1.26 Sterilization When specified, suppliers shall provide the purchaser with certification that sterilization has occurred. during the conditioning or treating process. To assure sterilization, heating times and temperatures shall be sufficient to obtain a temperature of at least 150°F (65°C) at the center of the entire pole for at least one hour, 5.3. Solvent recovery When poles of any species have been treated with a system using an organic solvent-based preservative solution, a solvent recovery cycle of not over 15 hours at a maximum temperature of 225°F (107°C) is permitted, provided each pole before treatment has a maximum moisture content of 25 percent when measured with a resistance-type moisture meter (calibrated to the basis of oven dry weight moisture content) with insulated pins at 2.0 inches (50mm) from the surface at mid-height. 5.1.4 Rate of growth ‘The average rate of growth measured on the butt in the outer 2 inches (50mm) of poles having a circumference of 37.5 inches (95cm) or less at 6 feet (1.8m) from the butt, and in the outer 3 inches (cm) of poles having a circumference of more than 37.5 inches (9.5m) at 6 feet (1.8m) from the butt, shall be not less than 6 rings per inch (25mm). Exception: Poles with 4 and 5 rings per inch (25mm) are acceptable if 50% or more summerwood is present. ‘As an alternative, the ring count and summerwood measurements mentioned above may be made on an increment core taken at 6 feet (1.8m) from the butt directly above the place where the average rate of growth is indicated on the butt surface. 5.2 Prohibited defects 1. Cross breaks (cracks); Decay, except as permitted for firm red heart in 5.3.1, defective butts in 5.4.4, and decayed knots ind4.6; Dead streaks, except as permitted in 5.4.3; Holes, open or plugged, except holes for test purposes, which shall be plugged; Hollow butts or tops, except as permitted under hollow pith centers and defective butts; ane Marine borer damage; andANSI 05.1.2008 7.

A pole may have sweep subject to the following limitations: 1. Where sweep is in one plane and one direction only: For poles of all species, except northern white cedar, a straight line joining the surface of the pole at the groundline and the edge of the pole at the top shall not be distant from the surface of the pole at any point by more than 1 inch (25mm) for each 10 feet (3m) in length. The deviation for northern white cedar poles is 1 inch (25mm) for each 5 feet (1.5m) in length. (See Figure 1, Diagram 1.)ANSI 05.1.2008 2. Where steep is in two planes (double sweep) or in two directions in one plane (reverse sweep): Except in northern white cedar poles’, a straight line connecting the midpoint at the groundline with the midpoint at the top shall not at any intermediate point pass through the surface of the pole. (See Figure 1, Diagram 2.) 5.4.10 Spiral grain Spiral grain (twist grain) is permitted as follows: Length of pole (fet) Maximum twist of grain permitted 30 @-1m) and shorter ‘complete twist in any 10 feet (mm) 35 (10.7m)-45 (13.7), inclusive ‘complete twist in any 16 fet (mm) 50 (152m) and longer ‘complete twist in any 20 feet (6m) 5.4.11 Splits & checks 5.4.1.1 Inthe top A split or a combination of two single checks (each check terminating at the pith center and separated by not less than 1/6 of the circumference) having one or both portions located in a vertical plane within 30 degrees of the top bolt hole shall not extend downward along the pole more than 6 inches (15cm). All other combinations of checks or a split shall not extend downward along the pole more than 12 inches (0.31m). 5.4.11.2 Inthe butt A split or a combination of two single checks, as defined above, shall not extend upward along the pole more than 2 feet (0.61m). 5.4.12 Shelling Shelling on the surface of the pole shall be limited to no more than one inch (25mm) in depth. 5.4.13 Cone Holes For species containing cone holes, the’sum of the diameter of all core holes greater than 0.5 inch (13 mm) shall be combined with the sum of the diameter of all knots greater than 0.5 inch (13 mm) knot diameters in any 1-foot (0.31m) section, and the result shall not exceed the limits of Table 2. In determining the combined sum of cone hole and knot diameters, the 1-foot (0.31m) section shall be 5 The double sweep limitation for northern white cedar poles shall be as follows: Where sweep is in two planes (double ‘sweep), the sum of the sweeps in the two planes (each sweep being measured as shown in Figure 1, Diagram 1) shall be not ‘greater than the allowance for sweep in one plane and one direction for a pole of the same length. 9ANSI 05.1.2008 located so as to include the maximum sum of cone hole and knot diameters greater than 0.5 inch (13 mm). 6 _ DIMENSIONS For dimensions of particular species of poles, see Tables 3 through 10 (or Tables 3M through 10M). 61 Length Poles less than 50 fect (15.2m) in length shall be not more than 3 inches (80mm) shorter or 6 inches (150mm) longer than nominal length. Poles 50 feet (15.2m) or more in length shall be not more than 6 inches (150mm) shorter or 12 inches (0.31m) longer than nominal length. Length shall be measured between the extreme ends of the pole. 6.2 Circumference 621 General Poles are classed while in the green condition, after bark removal and/or shaving. Subsequently, there may be some shrinkage due to conditioning, seasoning, or while in service. Therefore, this shrinkage, which is usually about 2 percent as the pole dries below fiber saturation, should be recognized if remeasuring circumference at a later date. 6.2.2 Circumference ‘The minimum circumferences at 6 feet (1.8m) from the butt and at the top, for each length and class of pole, are listed in Tables 3 through 10 (or Tables 3M through 10M). The circumference at 6 feet (1.8m) from the butt of a pole shall be not more than 7 inches (0.18m) or 20 percent larger than the specified minimum, whichever is greater. The top dimensional requirement shall apply at a point corresponding, to the minimum length permitted for the pole. 63 Classification ‘The true circumference class shall be determined as follows: Measure the circumference at 6 feet (1.8m) from the butt. This dimension will determine the true class of the pole, provided that its top (measured at the minimum length point) is large enough. Otherwise, the circumference at the top will determine the true class, provided that the circumference at 6 fect (18m) from the butt does not exceed the specified minimum by more than 7 inches (0.18m) or 20 percent, whichever is greater. 7 MANUFACTURING REQUIREMENTS. 7.1 Bark removal Outer bark shall be completely removed from all poles 10ANSI 05.1.2008 On all poles, no patch of inner bark more than 1 inch (25mm) wide shall be left on the pole surface between the butt and 2 feet (0.61m) below the groundline. On poles that are to be given full-length treatment, no patch of inner bark larger than 1 inch (25mm) ‘wide and 6 inches (15cm) long shall be left on the pole surface between the top and 2 feet (0.61m) below the groundline. On poles that are to be butt-treated, no patch of inner bark larger than inch (25mm) wide and 6 inches (150mm) long shall be left on the pole surface between points 1 foot (0.30m) above and 2 feet (0.61m) below the groundline. 7.2 Sawing Al poles shall be neatly sawed at the top and at the butt along a plane that shall not be out of square with the axis of the pole by more than 2 inches (Scm) per foot (0.31m) of diameter of the sawed surface. Beveling at the edge of the sawed butt surface not more than 1/12 the butt diameter in width, or an equivalent area unsymmetrically located, is permitted. 7.3. Trimming Completely overgrown knots, rising more than 1 inch (25mm) above the pole surface, branch stubs, and partially overgrown knots shall be trimmed close. Completely overgrown knots less than 1 inch (25mm) high need not be trimmed. Trimming may be done by shaving machine or by hand. 74 Shaving If shaving is used, the depth of cut shall not be more than necessary to remove inner bark and to trim smoothly and closely all branch stubs and overgrown knots. There shall be no abrupt change in the contour of the pole surface between the groundline and the aboveground sections. The lower 2 feet (0.61m) of poles may be trimmed to remove wood fibers causing butt flare, provided sufficient sapwood remains to obtain customer's minimum penetration requirement, 7.5 Marking & code letters The following information shall be burn-branded legibly and permanently on the face and the butt of each pole or included on a metal or weather-durable color coded tag (the latter allowable on the butt only) affixed thereto (see note below): 1. The supplier's code or trademark; ‘The plant location and the year of treatment; ey Code letters denoting the pole species and preservative used; and ‘The true circumference-class numeral and numerals showing the length of the pole, Metal (non- corrosive) or weather-durable, color coded tage attached to the butt of a pole shall be securely affixed to serve the intended purpose. nANSI 05.1.2008 NOTE — The supplier's code or trademark, the plant location, the year of treatment, and code letters denoting the pole species and preservative used may be omitted from the butt by agreement between supplier and purchaser. Information included in (4) above may then be die-stamped or hammer-stamped. By agreement between supplier and purchaser, oversized poles may be substituted for a smaller rue class and be marked with the smaller true class numeral, ‘The code letters, not less than 5/8-inch (16mm) high if burn-branded, and not less than 1/8-inch (3mm) high if on a metal or weather-durable, color coded tag, designating the pole species and preservative ‘used, shall be as follows: iceseras ‘Alaska yellow Northern white (eastern) NOTE - The preservative will be designated by adding to the species code the proper preservative code from the latest edition of American Wood Protection Association Standard M6, ‘The bottom of the brand or mark shall be placed squarely on the face of the pole and at 10 feet (Sm) #/- 2 inches (Scm) from the butt of poles 50 feet (15.2m) or less in length and at 14 feet (4.3m) +/- 2 inches (Scm) from the butt of poles $5 feet (16.8m) or more in longth or as otherwise specified in the purchase order.

Class 5 - 35-foot pole (Class 5 — 10.7m pole) 5. When color coded tags are attached to the butt to identify class, the tag colors shall correspond to the Pantone Matching System (PMS) colors for each pole class as follows: 12ANSI 05.1.2008 211 (Bright Pink) PMS 155 (Tan) PMS3252(Aqua Blue) PMS 802 (Light Green) 8 STORAGE & HANDLING 81 Storage ‘When it is necessary to hold poles in storage, they shall be stacked on treated or other nondecaying skids of such dimensions and’so arranged as to support the poles without producing noticeable distortion of any of them. The height of the piles shall be limited to avoid damage to poles on the bottom layers. Poles shall be piled and supported in such a manner that all poles are at least 1 foot (0.30m) above the general ground level and any vegetation growing thereon. No decayed or decaying wood shall be permitted to remain underneath stored poles. 82 Handling Poles shall not be dragged along the ground. Cant hooks, pole tongs, cr other pointed tools shall not be applied to the groundline section of any pole. 83 Mechanical damage Poles are not acceptable if they contain indentations attributed to loading or handling slings that are 1/4 inch (6mm) or more deep over 20% or more of the pole circumference, or more than 1/2 inch (12mm) deep at any point. Other indentations or abrasions, for example, forklift damage, kiln sticker damage, chain-saw damage, etc,, shall not be more than 1/10 the pole diameter at the point of damage up toa maximum of 1 inch (25mm). Such damage is permitted in an oversized section, where the excess of wood shall be taken into consideration in evaluating the effects of the damage. In any case, the circumference for a given class is still required to be not less than the specification minimum. 13ANSI O5.1.2008 ‘able 1 - Designated Fiber Strength for Wood Utility Poles” ‘Treatment Group Genus and Species pee aoe a ae Group A (air seasoning) ‘Cedar, northem white (ester) ‘Thuja occidentalis 4000 27600 CCadar, western red Ths plcwta 6000 ‘1400 Pine, ponderosa Pins ponderosa 6000 aco Fir, western (rue fir) 6600 45500 California red Abies magica Grand? ‘Abies grandis ‘ Noble® ‘Abies procera Pacific silver? ‘Abies amablis White ‘Abies concolor Pine, jac.
