ISO & BIS Approved:
It is advised to only purchase brands that are ISO and BIS approved and certified. The TMT should not have any rust, grease, or paint when it is shipped.
Chemical Analysis Test:
The chemical analysis uses spectrometers to determine the chemical breakdown. It prints out the results for each of the 26 TMT elements after about 10 to 15 seconds. It is essential, according to BIS, and shows the findings of carbon, phosphorous, and sulphur percentage measurements. Additionally, the spectrometer provides percentages for copper, manganese, and chromium.
Tensile Test:
Usually, Universal Testing Machines are used to determine the strengths of reinforcing bars.
Bend And Rebend Test:
See the rebar’s reaction while bending the bar at 180 degrees. It shouldn’t break or leave a crack. If it breaks or cracks, it is of low quality. Watch the rebar as you now bend the bar at a 135-degree angle. It should soak in 100°C hot water for 30 minutes. Then, bend at an angle of 157° and see the rebar’s response. The bar must bend without cracking as a result. Make sure there is no dirt on the object, that you are going to bend, avoid using a hammer, and bend smoothly and without oscillating.
Unique Rib Pattern:
To pass the ISI standard for the concrete bond test, TMT Bars must have a distinctive rib pattern. One must always get the TMT bar with a transverse rib pattern, there are x-shape patterns available in the market, but they are not following ISI requirements and are of inferior quality. To ensure a solid bond between the cement and the steel rod & ribs are provided. The rod must always be bent in the direction opposing the diagonal line & it must not be bent across the longitudinal line pattern, as this causes breaking or cracking.
