1.1This specification covers bridge bearings that consist of a spherical rotational element, where a stainless steel convex surface slides against a concave carbon steel plate covered with woven or sheet polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The function of the bearing is to transfer loads and to accommodate any relative movement, including rotation between a bridge superstructure and its supporting structure, or both.
1.2This specification covers the requirements of spherical bearings with a standard horizontal load (a maximum of 10 % of vertical).
1.3The requirements stated in this specification are the minima necessary for the manufacture of quality bearing devices. It may be necessary to increase these minimum values due to other design conditions.
1.4The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
