(American Standards Testing & Materials)
With unique characteristics ASTM A 706 is a Steel Bar being used in numerous high rise structures in the country. The greater amount of Elongation than ASTM 615-A and Wieldable option give it a competitive advantage over normal Steel Bars.
DEFORMED STEEL BARS – GRADE 60 3/8" – 1.5" OR 9mm – 40mm
DEFORMED STEEL BARS – GRADE 80 3/8" – 1.5" OR 9mm – 40mm
