Things to Check
The life of your home will depend upon the strength of the rebars you use, therefore, while buying them, you have to make sure that you are buying the best, which will keep your house strong for many years. When selecting TMT Bars, it's important to consider certain factors. Here are some key factors , which you need to keep in mind before purchasing TMT Bars.
Cost and value back
While prioritizing quality, it's also important to consider the cost-effectiveness of TMT Bars. Tiscon offers a balance between quality and affordability, ensuring that you get the best value for your investment while constructing your dream home. What's even better is that our clever design could potentially help you save up to 6% on your overall steel need.
Sustainability
TMT Bars from well-known brands such as Tiscon typically prioritize sustainable manufacturing methods, aiming to reduce environmental impact and encourage eco-friendly construction practices. Tata Tiscon takes pride in being India's first GreenPro certified rebar brand. By choosing Tata Tiscon, you're going for an environmentally responsible option. With the GreenPro ecolabel, you can shop confidently, knowing that your choice will contribute towards a greener future.
Grade
Strength of a TMT bar is directly influenced by its grade. Higher grades indicate greater strength. In earthquake-prone areas, it's important to select the appropriate grade according to your construction needs. The Bureau of Indian Standards, as outlined in its IS code 1786, provides clear guidelines regarding the various grades of TMT Bars suitable for use in India. These grades include Fe415, Fe415D, Fe415S, Fe500, Fe500D, Fe500S, Fe550, Fe550D and Fe600, Fe650 and Fe700. Tata Tiscon 550SD rebars are part of the Fe 550D grade however, with enhanced ductility properties. They undergo a unique chemical treatment and post-rolling process to boost ductility, which widens the gap between Yield Strength (YS) and Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS). Our Tata Tiscon Rebars go above and beyond these standards, guaranteeing improved performance and reliability.
Strength
Strength is a very important factor when it comes to choosing your TMT bar as reinforcement bars carry a substantial part of load acting on the building structure. Tiscon 550SD rebars carry an impressive yield strength (YS) of 550MPa without compromising on the ductility front making them a reliable choice when it comes to handling loads. With increase in strength of rebar, engineers may be able to use lesser number of rebars or lesser diameter rebars to serve the load requirements of the building provided the ductility and serviceability requirements are met.
Certifications
Regardless of the product you purchase, certification is imperative to ensure quality. This holds for TMT Bars as well. It is important to identify products that bear BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) and ISO certifications. These certifications indicate a commitment to established standards and regulations in the manufacturing process. Hence, it is advisable to verify such certifications before finalizing your purchase. Tata Tiscon 550 SD Rebars guarantee more than the basic characteristic strength as per BIS-1786. They boast exceptional properties, including a higher percentage of elongation and an enhanced UTS/YS ratio, aligning with international standards for ‘high ductile’ specialty Rebars. With Tata Tiscon, you can trust in superior quality and reliability for your construction projects.
Ductility (Flexibility)
TMT bars must possess flexibility to effectively withstand bending loads in a building. Steel products that crack during bending cannot guarantee structural strength. They need to endure shocks and seismic stresses without failing to displacement forces. Tata Tiscon rebars offer increased ductility, which translates to enhanced safety. The mechanical parameter of minimum Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) to Yield Strength (YS) ratio of 1.15, meets with IS13920:2016 standard for earthquake resistance design. Furthermore, these rebars have greater ductility with a minimum total elongation of 16%, exceeding the IS13920:2016 requirement of >= 14.5%. Hence, they can stretch more before fracturing.
