Steel Rebar & Deformed Steel Bar,HPB300、HRB400 (E)、HRB500 (E)、HRB600 (E)
1. Product Overview
Steel bars (also known as deformed steel bars) are core reinforcing materials for reinforced concrete structures. By working cooperatively with concrete, they effectively improve the tensile, bending, shear and seismic performance of structural components. They are widely applied in construction projects, bridges, tunnels, water conservancy and other engineering fields.
This specification is compiled in accordance with GB 1499.1-2024 (Hot-rolled Plain Round Steel Bars) and GB 1499.2-2024 (Hot-rolled Ribbed Steel Bars), applicable to hot-rolled ribbed steel bars, fine-grain hot-rolled ribbed steel bars and hot-rolled plain round steel bars with nominal diameters ranging from 6mm to 50mm.
2. Product Classification and Grades
2.1 Classification by Surface Type

6.2 Factory Inspection
Mandatory inspection items: dimension, shape, weight deviation, tensile property, cold bending property and chemical composition.Seismic steel bars additional inspection: yield ratio, over-yield ratio, total elongation and reverse bending.
6.3 Re-inspection and Judgment
If any item fails, double samples shall be taken for re-inspection; the whole batch shall be rejected if still unqualified.If weight deviation is unqualified, piece-by-piece inspection is allowed, and qualified products can be delivered after removing unqualified ones.
