C.         (FOR STAINLESS STEEL AND ALUMINUM PRODUCTS) Abrasive clean, or acid wash at the option of the manufacturer.

 2.4 DESIGN CRITERIA

A.                  The SPECIAL DOORS frame and skin shall be designed in accordance with the Specifications as published by the ASTM Association and designed for full dead       load plus live load in accordance with the Uniform Building Code latest edition as applicable for this location. Special door deflection shall be less than or equal to L/360 under total dead and live load condition.

B.                  Watertight doors shall be designed with a minimum 2:1 factor of safety based on material yield strength.

C.         Stiffener angles shall be welded to panel underside and concealed from view. Bolted or riveted construction is not acceptable.

D.         The direct attachment of panels to the surface of frame members by means off bolts, screws or self drilling fasteners extending through the panels, other top flanges, or outer edges of the panel will not be acceptable

E.         SPECIAL DOORS shall be hinged to assure proper and smooth swing of the cover up to 180 degrees or to the extent that hold back or restrictive mechanisms may apply. Hinges shall have slotted holes to protect them from seal pressure loads. Seal loads shall not be transmitted to the hinges. Hinge pins and washers shall be of 304 stainless, unless otherwise specified.

F.         The SPECIAL DOORS shall be equipped with stainless steel dogs. (latching devices). The number size and location will be dictated by the SPECIAL DOOR size as well as the specified design conditions.
