GPH Ispat Limited has focused its recent efforts on the development of a new high-strength rebar with yield strength ≥ 600Mpa.
In the past, GPH Ispat Limited has produced rebar of 40 grade, 60 grade, B420DWR, B500CWR and B500DWR complying with BDS ISO 6935-2, BS 4449 and ASTM A 615, ASTM A 706 specifications. Eager for innovation and improvement, however, and in acknowledgment of the benefits of higher yield-strength rebar, GPH Ispat has managed to successfully develop a new high-strength rebar with a yield strength of 600MPa, conforming to ASTM Gr. 80 and BDS ISO 6935-2 grade B600C-R and above. This new high-strength rebar is considered to be a cost-efficient product. By leading to reduction in column size of heavily loaded structures, its use will relieve rebar congestion and further reduce steel consumption in construction by approximately 20-25%, in addition to lowering the overall cost. Thus, the product provides savings to our clients by reducing both the amount of rebar needed and the amount of construction materials (e.g., concrete) required to support the rebar. In addition, the reduction in column size frees up greater floor space for use by building developers, resulting in greater overall profitability.
GPH also started developing of CHQ and PST steel as well as wire rod for high-strength application.
