2. Core Engineering Advantages

· â€‹ASTM A416 Certified Compliance: The base steel strand is manufactured strictly to meet the mechanical, geometric, and breaking load requirements of ASTM A416 Grade 270.

· â€‹Heavy-Duty Multi-Layer Protection: Uniformly coated with specialized microcrystalline anti-corrosion grease and tightly encased in a seamless, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sheath for lifetime durability.

· â€‹Maximum Load-Bearing Capacity: The 140.0 mm² cross-section and 260.7 kN MBL provide the robust tensile performance required for large-span slabs and heavy transfer girders.

· â€‹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.

​3. Industrial & Infrastructure Applications

​Engineered for heavy-load structures and modern high-rise civil projects:

· â€‹Commercial & High-Rise Buildings: Long-span floor systems, transfer plates, multi-story parking structures, and high-rise commercial towers.

· â€‹Heavy Industrial Structures: Large-span industrial floor slabs, heavy foundations, and specialized storage platforms.

· â€‹Geotechnical Engineering: High-capacity rock and soil anchor systems, slope stabilization, and foundation tie-backs.

​4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

​Q: Do these 15.24mm unbonded strands comply with ASTM A416 and PTI standards?

A: Yes. The base 7-wire strand complies strictly with ASTM A416 Grade 270, and the specialized anti-corrosion grease and HDPE sheathing meet relevant PTI (Post-Tensioning Institute) performance specifications.

​Q: What is the standard export packaging and container load?

A: Coils are securely strapped, wrapped in protective materials, and palletized to prevent damage to the plastic sheath during transit. 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.
