A Perfect Blend of Strength and Flexibility for Your Construction Needs
TMT bars are high-strength reinforcement bars made by thermomechanical treatment. The process involves subjecting the bars to a combination of heat and mechanical processes, which enhances their strength and durability. The 12 mm diameter indicates the size of the bar, which is suitable for medium to large construction projects.
Key Specifications of 12mm TMT Bars
- Size: 12mm
- Weight per Meter: 888 gm/m
- Tolerance Allowed: ±5%
- Tolerance Limit (gm/m) 844-932 gm/m
- RAMA TMT BARS Weight Tolerance: 861-915 gm/m
- Individual Sample Variation: ±3%

How 12 mm TMT Bars Are Manufactured
- Heating: The raw steel is heated in a furnace to a high temperature to make it malleable.
- Rolling: The heated steel is passed through rollers to shape it into the desired bar form.
- Quenching: After rolling, the bars are rapidly cooled by spraying water onto them. This hardens the outer surface.
- Tempering: The bars are then tempered to ensure the inner core retains some softness for better ductility.
Applications of 12 mm TMT Bars
- Residential Construction: Used in the foundation, columns, beams, and slabs of buildings.
- Commercial Construction: Ideal for high-rise buildings, shopping malls, and office complexes due to their strength and durability.
- Infrastructure Projects: 12 mm bars are used in roads, bridges, flyovers, and dams due to their resistance to heavy loads and environmental stressors.
- Industrial Construction: Common in factories, warehouses, and large-scale industrial structures that require strong, reliable reinforcement.
Advantages of Using 12 mm TMT Bars
- Cost-Effective: While TMT bars are more expensive than traditional mild steel, their durability and resistance to wear and tear make them a long-term, cost-effective option.
- Earthquake Resistance: The flexibility and ductility of TMT bars provide enhanced resistance against earthquakes, reducing the risk of structural failure during seismic events.
- Faster Construction: Due to their higher strength, fewer bars are needed, reducing the overall time and effort in construction.
- Environmentally Friendly: TMT bars are manufactured using a sustainable process, which reduces the carbon footprint and supports green building initiatives.
