WHAT IS CATEGORY AND STANDARDS OF PRESTRESSED STEEL STRANDS?

1Category

 

Steel strand is divided four categoriessuch as 2 wires3 wires 7 wires and 19wires.and divided five categoried such as bare steel strandsintended steel strandscompact steelstrandsgalvanized steelstrands ,epoxy steel strands and etc.


2Application Scope

Steel strands mainly used in construction,liftengineering,nuclear power engineering,fastening bar,inhaul cable and externalprestressed engineering.


3 Standards

Differentcountries with different standards for prestressed steel strands,for example:Chinesestandard GB/T 5224American standard ASTMA416British standard BS5896 and Japanese standard JIS G3536Australia standardAS/NZS 4672Brazilian standardNBR-7483
