Steel wire ropes for pre-stressed concrete (PSC)

Steel wire ropes for pre-stressed concrete (PSC)
  • Gallery: {gallery}{/gallery}

BS 5896-1980, prEN 10138-3-2006

Designation 

Applied as a steel reinforcement of prestressed concrete constructions.

PSC strands possess a number of advantages over those manufactured using tempering technology: 10-15% increased yield strength and breaking strength; 25-30% increase of elongation limit; 5-8% decrease of relaxation strain losses; increase of construction reliability and durability.

It is possible to manufacture PSC strand from round wires as well as from profiled wires.

Construction: 1x7

Uncoiling is performed from the inside. Layer by layer winding prevents strands from tangling and crossing, and measured coiling prevents any wastes when processing, thus reducing operational costs.
