Eight major pts:
- Manufacturer Certificate
- Grade of steel
- Ultimate & bearing strength of steel
- Length of Bar
- Std length = 12m.
- Wt of bar
- Using formula, W = (DxD)/162 kg/m
- For 10mm dia, W = (10×10)/162 = 0.617 kg/m
- Dia of Bar
- Randomly check the dia of bar using “Vernier Caliper” from each lots of diff dia.
- Tag on Bar
- ISI Mark
- Grade of Steel
- Company logo/Name
- Color of Bar
- Should be grey & not any rusted color.
- Bend Test
- Bend the bar at 180° & observe the behavior of the rebar.
- Re-Bend Test
- Bend the bar at 135° & observe the behavior of the rebar.
- Place it in 100°C hot water for 30 mins. Then bend at 157.5° & observe the behavior of the rebar.
Most imp’ly, the bars should have grips on it.
