· ​ASTM A416 Certified Compliance: Manufactured strictly to meet the stringent mechanical, geometric, and relaxation requirements of the American standard for prestressed concrete tendons.
· ​Heavy-Duty Load Capacity: The 140.0 mm² nominal cross-section and 260.7 kN minimum breaking load provide the exceptional tensile strength required for massive structural spans.
· ​Low-Relaxation Stability (Class 2): Advanced thermal-mechanical stabilization restricts stress relaxation to a maximum of 2.5% at 1000 hours, ensuring permanent prestressing force retention over extended lifecycles.
· ​Enhanced Bonding Interlock: The precise 7-wire helical geometry creates an optimal mechanical bond with structural cement grout, eliminating slip in post-tensioned applications.
​Engineered for heavy-load-bearing structures across global markets utilizing ASTM design standards:
· ​Major Transportation Projects: Long-span highway and railway bridges, box girders, precast segmental bridges, and elevated viaducts.
· ​Commercial & High-Rise Buildings: Post-tensioned slab systems, parking structures, and large-span industrial roofs.
· ​Geotechnical & Marine Engineering: High-capacity ground anchors, rock slopes, dam stabilization, and deepwater port wharfs.
​Q: Do these strands fully comply with ASTM A416 Grade 270 specifications?
A: Yes. Our 15.24mm strands are produced in strict compliance with ASTM A416 / A416M, ensuring complete acceptance by international consulting engineers and main contractors.
​Q: What is the standard export packaging and container load?
A: Coils are wrapped in moisture-proof plastic film and heavy-duty anti-rust woven cloth, secured with high-tensile steel strapping, and palletized. A standard 20ft container loads approximately 20 to 27 metric tons.
​Q: Can we request third-party quality inspection prior to shipment?
A: Yes. We fully support independent pre-shipment inspections and audits conducted by recognized global agencies such as SGS, BV, Intertek, or TUV.
