DIN 488-2 Reinforcement Steels - Reinforcement Steel Bars

The DIN 488-2 standard, developed by the German Institute for Standardization (DIN), contains the values ​​specified for the projected steel bar area as a function of the nominal bar diameter, with the dimensions, shape and configuration of the curved and longitudinal steel bars (bars).

Reinforcement steel bars are in the form of long bars with round cross-sections and during construction works, the reinforcement of reinforced concrete buildings by combining the concrete with the ribs on the surface effectively.increases the text. The use of reinforcing steel bars, which are generally used as construction materials or for engineering structures, is very common.

Reinforcement steel bars are a steel rod or steel wire mesh used as a tension tool in reinforced concrete structures to reinforce concrete. Concrete is strong under pressure but has poor tensile strength. Rebar greatly increases this tensile strength of the structure. Reinforcing steel bars are used to create a better bond with the reinforced concrete surface and reduce the risk of slipping.

The most common type of rebar is carbon steel, which consists of hot-rolled round bars. Steel reinforcing rods are also coated with an epoxy resin to prevent the effects of corrosion in saltwater environments. The thermal expansion coefficients of steel and concrete are close to each other. For this reason, a steel reinforced concrete building element experiences the lowest differential tension during temperature changes.

The DIN 488-2 standard sets standards for reinforcing steel bars for a number of criteria, such as rod diameter, rod surface, mesh spacing, and mesh size. Reinforcement steel bars are used in various constructions of industrial buildings, foundations of reinforced concrete structures, reinforced concrete pipes, tunnel formwork systems, subway and tunnel construction, concrete, runway, highway and field coatings and prefabricated building elements.

Among the services provided by our organization within the framework of metallic testing services, there are also DIN 488-2 standard tests.
