Product Information

Product Name: 1 kg of anchor bolt 4140 manufactured by Industrias Auge, S.A. de C.V. and included in the component

assembly, imported hex 2H nut, F436 washer, and A572 grade 50 plate.

Product Identification: This EPD assumes the impacts from the products manufactured by Industrias Auge are in accordance

with the following ASTM standards:

Component Name ASTM Standard

Anchor Bolt 4140 ASTM F 1554 Anchor Bolts

Hex 2H Nut ASTM A194 2H Heavy Hex Nuts

A572 Grade 50 Plate ASTM A572 Grade 50/ASTM A36 Carbon Steel

Plate

F436 washer ASTM F436 Type I Washers

The dimensions of each component are:

to 8,000 mm. The bolts are manufactured to be in compliance with the ANSI B1.1 standard on

UNC and 8UN series threads, with a 2A setting. The bolts can be completely or partially

threaded in their length.

• Hex Nut: The heavy hexagonal type nuts are in compliance with ASME B18.2.2 and ANSI B1.1

threads with adjustment 2B. The range of diameters are from ¾ "and up to 4".

• Plate: Plates are manufactured according to the geometry requested by the client: square,

rectangular or any other shape. The plate thicknesses can vary from ¾ "and up to 2.5".

• Washer: The flat round washers follow ASTM F436, supplied in the range of nominal diameters

of ¾ " to 4”.

UN CPC Code:

42190 Fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment; 421 Structural metal products and

parts thereof.

3


Product Description: The bolt is placed together with its components in hardened concrete to transmit axial forces and

support buildings. The nuts are assembled to the anchor bolt fixing the plate with the washers. The

washers are assembled to the anchor bolt, plate and nuts to protect, space or withstand the pressure of

the load. The anchoring system acts as reinforcement to completely transfer the design load of the

anchors towards the structural element. The evaluation of the loading conditions and the anchoring

capacity determine the design of the anchors.

Geographical Scope: This EPD covers the component anchor bolt 4140 manufactured at the Industrias Auge manufacturing

facility located at Parque Industrial El Cerrillo Lote 9, CP 52000 Lerma, Estado de México, Mexico. It also

includes the sub-components imported and assembled as described in this report.

LCA Information

Functional Unit/Declared Unit:

The functional unit for this LCA is 1 kg of anchor bolt component, including 4140 bolt, hex 2H nut, F436

washer, and A572 grade 50 plate. It should be noted that in this component Industrias Auge only

manufacturers the Anchor bolt 4140. All other subcomponents (hex 2H nut, F436 washer, and A572

grade 50 plate) are purchased from outside suppliers.

Time Representativeness:

All primary data reported by Auge stem from the 2017 calendar year from utility bills and company

records.

Database and LCA Software Used:

To perform the LCA for this EPD OpenLCA software with ecoinvent v3.3 database was used.

System Boundaries:

The performance of the LCA and the subsequent publishing of this EPD is in alignment with the business

to business (B2B) communication requirements for the environmental assessment of buildings. The

scope of this EPD is cradle-to-gate and considers the following life cycle stages in accordance with the

International EPD® System PCR Construction products and construction services, V2.2 2012:01. The

following three life cycle stages are included in the study:

A1: Raw material supply (upstream processes)- Extraction, handling, and processing of the materials

(including fuels) used in the production of the steel.

A2: Transportation- Transportation of these materials from the supplier to the “gate” of the product

manufacturer.

A3: Manufacturing (core processes)- The energy used to store, move, process and manufacture the

functional unit and to operate the facility. (1)

Exclusions to the system boundary are mentioned in the PCR and include the functional unit or

performance characteristics of the construction product when integrated into the building or the

product’s referenced service life (RSF).

5


Figure 2: System Boundaries A1-A3

Excluded Lifecycle Stages: This EPD does not require and therefore does not include the following stages:

A4-A5: Construction process stage- Transport and construction installation.

B-B7: Use stage- Use, maintenance, repair, replacement, refurbishment, operational energy use, and

operational water use.

C1-C4: End of life stage- De-construction demolition, transport, waste processing, and disposal.

D: Resource recovery stage- Reuse-recycling-recovery potential.

A summary of the limitations of this EPD include the following:

• This “cradle-to-gate” EPD is to understand the environmental impacts of the products listed and

is not a comparative study.

• No environmental claim can be implied about the environmental superiority of the products

modeled in this study. The EPD reporting process does not make statements that the products

modeled in an LCA, or the resulting EPD, are environmentally better or worse than other

products.

• The LCIA results do not predict actual impacts and are a direct result of the information modeled

only.

6


• This EPD does not report all the environmental impacts due to manufacturing of the product,

but instead the environmental impacts for categories with established LCA-based methods to

track and report. Unreported environmental impacts include, but are not limited to, factors

attributed to human health, land use changes, and habitat destruction.

• In addition, the manufacturer can report on best practices in sustainability, including social

indicators outside this EPD, in an attempt to illustrate a more complete picture of their

sustainability practices that cannot be captured in this EPD.

More Information:

The functional unit, 1 kg of anchor bolt component, including bolt 4140, hex 2H nut, F436 washer, and

A572 grade 50 plate components are modeled in this study by weight percentage. The table below

depicts the percentage of weight for each component in the total anchor bolt component assembly. The

average of each range was used for the model.

Table 1: Anchor Bolt Component Weight for the Component Assembly by Percentage

Component Range by Weight (%) Average (%)

Bolt 60.8-66.3 63.55

Hex 2H Nut 7.5-14.6 11.05

F436 Washer 0.0-1.1 .55

A572 Grade 50 Plate 23.5-26.2 24.85

Allocation

The PCR, version 2012:01 v2.2, outlines scenarios where allocation is necessary. These areas include: a).

a multi-output subprocess delivering goods that are treated equally, b). co-production on electricity and

heat, and c). co-production of goods and energy. (1)

The anchor bolt manufacturing process is linear and results in a sole product, therefore, there are no

additional products produced, and all inputs and emissions are attributed to the output product of one

kilogram of anchor bolt component.

Cut-off Criteria

ISO 14044:2006 and Product Category Rule (PCR) V2.2 2012:01, section 7.6. requires the LCA model to

contain a minimum of 95% of the total inflows (mass and energy) to the upstream and core modules be

7


included in this study. The cut-off criteria were applied to all other processes unless noted above as

follows:

• A 1% cut-off is considered for all renewable and non-renewable primary energy consumption

and the total mass of inputs within a unit process where the total of the neglected inputs does

not exceed 5%.

Data Variability and Quality

This EPD was created using plant-specific data for upstream materials. Potential variations due to

supplier locations, manufacturing processes and efficiencies of fuel use are not accounted for in this

EPD.

Data differences can occur with changing suppliers, mine locations, manufacturing equipment, and

overall efficiency. Data quality is judged based on the five indicators below. These indicators apply to the

impact categories reported in this study based on the information obtained and used for the model.

The corresponding detailed data clarifications are broken down to the process level. The five indicators

included are:

Technical representativeness: The degree to which the data reflects the actual technology(ies) used.

Overall quality: Good to very good

Temporal Representativeness: The degree to which the data reflects the actual time (e.g. year) or age

of the activity. Overall quality: Good with a few fair points of data

Geographical representativeness: The degree to which the data reflects the actual geographic location

of the activity (e.g. country or site). Overall quality: Good to very good

Completeness: The degree to which the data are statistically representative of the relevant activity.

Completeness includes the percentage of locations for which data is available and used out of the total

number that relates to a specific activity. Overall quality: Good

Reliability: The degree to which the sources, data collection methods and verification procedures used

to obtain the data are dependable. Overall quality: Very good

Packaging:

Each set of bolts is held with the pallet by 2 straps depending on the length of the bolts, protecting the

strings of the strap with cardboard. The nuts and washers are assembled at the ends of the bolt. The

plates are packed separately. The amount of packaging for each component was assigned based on its

percentage by weight of the completed assembly as detailed in Table 1: Anchor Bolt Component Weight

9


for the Component Assembly by Percentage. That number was further broken down by the amount of

material per pallet. Auge ships approximately 1,000 kg to 1,500 kg of product per pallet. For the model

1, 250 kg was used. All transportation of the materials to Auge’s factory were updated with primary

data from Auge.

Recycled Content: Industrias Auge does not perform any recycling of raw material directly. All recycling information is

reported by their suppliers. All steel manufacturing waste is sold as scrap from Auge’s operations. Each

raw material supplier reports their use of post-consumer and post-industrial recycled steel and the

values are outlined in the table below.
