Reinforcing Steel / Structural Steel
Reinforcing
Weight Per Meter Test
The weight/m of the bar can be tested at site by cutting a bar to 1m and checking its weight.
The weight measures must lie in the range specified.
Reinforcing
Reinforcing Steel Elongation Test
Elongation is a measure of the ductility of a material as determined by a tension test. It is the increase in the
gauge-length of a test specimen after fracture divided by its original gauge-length
Reinforcing
Ultimate Tensile Strength Test
The ultimate tensile strength, the load at failure divided by the original cross sectional area where the ultimate tensile strength (U.T.S.),
σ max = P max /A 0 , where P max = maximum load, A 0 = original cross sectional area.
Reinforcing
0.2 Percent Proof Stress
It is a stress where offset parallel to elastic line drawn from 0.20% strain is intersect in stress-strain curve.
Reinforcing
Bend Test
The bend test is a simple and inexpensive qualitative test that can be used to evaluate both the ductility and soundness of a material.
Reinforcing
Rebend Test
The purpose of re-bend test is to measure the effect of strain ageing on steel. Strain ageing has embrittlement effect
which takes place after cold deformation by diffusion of nitrogen in steel.

Reinforcing Steel Chemical Properties Test
Lime saturation factor, Alumina modulus, % insoluble residue,, % magnesia, % sulfuric anhydride, % chloride, % loss of
ignition are calculated in this test.
