Thermo mechanically treated (tmt) bars for sale in Nigeria
Thermo Mechanical Treatment or TMT bar is one of the most popular reinforcement bar used for construction projects. There are a number of TMT bars available in the market; however, out of all, TMT bars are manufactured using a special Tempcore technology which gives the TMT bar extra strength. Let’s take a look at the specifications of TMT bar manufactured by our cliente:

TMT bars are available in a number of grades and sizes and it conforms to IS: 1786:208 BIS standard. This standard is equivalent to a number of International Standards such as BST 500 of DIN 488 (Germany), ASTM A615 Grade 60 ( the USA), BS 444 Grade 460 (Britain).

Features of TMT Bars:

Better ductility and malleability
