What is Tensile Test in TMT Bar?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To measure the strength of reinforcement bars Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is used. Upto 32 mm capacity of TMT Bars can be tested without machine as per IS 1786 and above which need to be tested with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Calculation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Determine the cross section area of TMT Re-bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n IS: 1786 \/ 2008 (Clause 6.3.1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ultimate Tensile Strength = <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n A Material can take stress upto which level? At which\nlevel it will begin to deform plastically? These are factors can be determined\nduring Yield Stress Test\/0.2% Proof Stress. Until the material reaches to the\nyield point it will deform elastically and return to its original shape when\nthe applied stress is removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The standard procedure is to project a line parallel to\nthe initial elastic region starting at 0.002 strains. The 0.002 strain point is\noften referred to as the 0.2% offset strain point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The behavior of the material can be broadly classified\ninto two categories, brittle and ductile. Steel and aluminum usually fail in\nthe class of ductile materials. Glass and cast iron fall in the class of\nbrittle materials. The two categories can be distinguished by comparing the\nstress-strain curve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In many cases you can find that TMT Bars are getting\ndeformed. It happens because of wrong handling of the materials. So, one must\nbe careful while bending and re-bending the TMT at construction sites. When\nbending or re-bending is done at a construction site, it is to be ensured that\nthe bend radii are not formed below the prescribed minimum sizes in the\nrelevant standards. Incorrect bending can severely affect the performance of\nsteel reinforcement in service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Important\nPoints to be noted while bending TMT Bars<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is essential to select TMT Bars that are manufactured\nat ISP\u2019s where advanced quenching technologies are used while manufactured.\nBetter tensile strength & elongation comes during the quenching. So BIS\nLicenses, World Class Quenching Technology such as Thermex these are the main\ncriteria to select the best quality TMT Bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The bend test consists of bending a test sample of TMT\nRe-bar through plastic deformation by applying a load against a suitable\nmandrel until a specified angle (180 degree) of bend is reached. Depending on\nthe requirements of the material standard such as IS 1786\/2008; it should be\nparallel at a specified distance, an insert is used to control this distance.\nTest is usually carried out at room temperature and the bending arrangement\nwith two supports (S1 & S2) and a Mandrel (M) has been shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The length (L1) of the test piece depends on the diameter\n(\u03a6) of the Re-bar and the Test equipment used. If the distance (L2) between the\nsupports is not specified, then L2 can be calculated as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n L2 = Md + 3\u03a6 [Md =\nMandrel Diameter]<\/p>\n\n\n\n The mandrel diameter used for different grades of TMT Re-bar for Bend test are given below as per IS 1786-2008<\/p>\n\n\n\n * \u03a6 is the diameter in mm of the test sample<\/p>\n\n\n\n * : The sample shall be considered to have passed the test\nif there is no rupture or crack visible at the bend (tension zone) portion to a\nperson of normal vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This test is designed to measure the effect of strain ageing\non the steel. Strain ageing is an embrittlement effect, which occurs after cold\ndeformation, by the diffusion of nitrogen in the steel. The risk of fracture on\nbending is increased as the temperature is decreased, because these steels have\ndecreasing toughness at lower temperatures. Hence,\n temperature parameters should be\nfollowed as per code for correct result<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Re-bend test consists of bending a sample of TMT Re-bar through plastic deformation by applying a load against a suitable mandrel to an included angle of 135 degree. The bend sample should be aged by keeping in boiling water (100 degree C) for 30 minutes and then allowed to cool. The sample should be bent back to have an included angle of 157.5 degree. Test is usually carried out at room temperature. The mandrel diameter used for different grades of TMT Re-bar is given below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The sample which has been used for bend test is not to be used for Re-bend test.<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n While applying load on the sample bar it is important to\nensure that the load is uniform, smooth and vertically downwards. Impulse load\nshould be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The specified mandrel diameter used for different grades of TMT Re-bar for Re-bend test are given below as per IS 1786-2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n * Where \u03a6 is the diameter in mm of the test sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n * The sample shall be considered to have passed the test if there is no rupture or crack visible at the bend (tension zone) portion to a person of normal vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cross section wise 50mm\/60mm length sample cutting from\nTMT Re-bars by abrasives, grinded and polished one side is used for chemical\ncomposition testing in a spectrometer. The spectrometer takes 10 to 15 seconds\nto give results in printed form of a maximum of 26 elements in the TMT. The\nspectrometer mainly gives the results of the percentages of carbon, sulphur,\nand phosphorus which are important as per BIS. In case of micro alloyed grade\nTMT, percentages of chromium, copper, manganese etc. are also shown by the\nspectrometer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The maximum allowable percentages of different elements as mentioned in the IS: 1786-2008 are as below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Construction sites are always exposed to high risk. Because\nof the kind of work, materials, processes etc. It is important to ensure safety\nat work starting from the workers, engineers, employees and everyone else. Like\nthe way it is important to use only Verified and Best Quality TMT Bars in the\nsame way few factors are important to be taken care of while working at\nconstruction site:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The global demands for TMT Bars (Thermo Mechanically Treated Bars) are rising day by day. To get the best enforced structures TMT Bar is the best alternative. There are so many brands in market but need to select the best quality TMT Bar that makes your home long lasting.
