TS 708 Steel - For Reinforced Concrete - Reinforcement Steel

The ISO 708 standard, developed by the International Standards Organization (ISO), covers requirements and definitions for the performance characteristics of reinforced or non-welded reinforcing steel produced in the form of rods, coils and straight coils used in reinforced concrete structures. This standard was published in our country by the Turkish Standards Institute with the following title: TS 708 Steel - For Reinforced Concrete - Reinforcement steel.

The standard in question does not include fabricated mesh steel, epoxy coated reinforcing steel, galvanized reinforcing steel, pre-tension reinforcing steel, corrosion-resistant reinforcing steel, reinforcing steel produced from cutting and bending, and reinforcing steel produced from used rail and axle steel and strip steel with profile. .

The TS 708 standard covers topics such as tensile properties, bending suitability, size, mass and tolerances (diameter and cross-sectional area, unit length mass and tolerances, length and coil mass of rods), surface geometry and verification of performance properties.

Steel bars that comply with this standard should be produced by the enterprises by applying a continuous factory production control, ensuring the conformity of the end product at the same level, regardless of the method of production.

Samples to be taken for testing can be full cast or part of the cast. Test frequency is determined as follows:

• An analysis must be carried out at each batch of samples to determine the chemical composition.
• For bending or reverse bending tests, mass determination and surface geometry tests, a test piece must be taken for each batch of samples
• In tensile tests, at least three test pieces must be taken for each batch of samples, one test piece from every 30 ton lot.

Among the services provided by our organization within the framework of metallic testing services, TS 708 There are also standard tests.
