2. Core Engineering Advantages

· â€‹Maximum Load-Bearing Capacity: The 140.0 mm² cross-section and 260.7 kN MBL provide the robust tensile performance required for heavy-duty, long-span concrete designs.

· â€‹Optimized Low-Relaxation Property: Advanced thermal-mechanical stabilization significantly minimizes long-term stress loss, ensuring permanent prestressing force over extended structure lifecycles.

· â€‹Superior Bonding Performance: Precise 7-wire helical geometry creates an optimal mechanical interlock with structural cement grout, eliminating tendon slip in post-tensioned applications.

· â€‹Full Traceability & Certification: Produced under strict ISO 9001 protocols. Each commercial shipment includes a detailed Mill Test Certificate (MTC) verifying chemical composition and mechanical test logs.

​3. Industrial & Infrastructure Applications

​Engineered for heavy-load structures across large-scale civil and marine projects:

· â€‹Major Transportation Projects: Long-span highway/railway bridges, continuous rigid-frame bridges, cable-stayed bridges, and viaducts.

· â€‹Heavy Commercial & Industrial Structures: Nuclear containment vessels, large-span industrial roofs, heavy-load floor systems, and parking structures.

· â€‹Geotechnical & Marine Engineering: High-capacity ground anchors, rock slopes, dam stabilization, and deepwater port wharfs.

​4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

​Q: What international standards do your 15.24mm PC strands satisfy?

A: Our 15.24mm steel strands comply strictly with ASTM A416, BS 5896, EN 10138, and GB/T 5224, matching the specific blueprint demands of international engineering firms.

​Q: What is the standard packaging and container loading capacity?

A: Coils are wrapped in moisture-proof plastic film and heavy-duty anti-rust woven cloth, secured with steel strapping, and palletized. A standard 20ft container safely loads approximately 20 to 27 metric tons.

​Q: Can we request third-party quality inspection prior to shipment?

A: Yes. We fully welcome independent pre-shipment inspections and audits conducted by global agencies such as SGS, BV, Intertek, or TUV.
