Textile-Covered Steel Strand for Concrete Prestressing
High-tensile steel strand, 12.7mm diameter, coated with polyethylene textile material for corrosion protection, specifically designed for prestressing post-tensioned concrete structures like bridges and buildings. It falls under HTS 7312.10.3010 due to its stranded steel construction, non-metallic covering, and explicit use in prestressing concrete. The textile covering enhances bonding and durability in concrete applications.
PE-Sheathed 15.2mm Prestressing Strand
7-wire steel strand with 15.2mm nominal diameter, sheathed in extruded polyethylene (non-metallic) for use in prestressed concrete beams and slabs. Classified under 7312.10.3010 as stranded wire for concrete prestressing covered with non-metallic material per Chapter 73 notes. The sheathing provides corrosion resistance during concrete embedding.
Polymer-Coated Post-Tensioning Cable Strand
Galvanized steel strand coated with polymer textile for corrosion protection in post-tensioned concrete floors and parking structures. HTS 7312.10.3010 applies to this stranded wire of steel, under 16mm, covered non-metallically, and designated for concrete prestressing. Polymer coating ensures long-term performance in alkaline concrete environments.
Textile-Wrapped 12.7mm PC Strand
Prestressed concrete (PC) strand, 12.7mm, wrapped in textile fabric and wax-filled for unbonded post-tensioning in high-rise buildings. Meets 7312.10.3010 as iron/steel stranded wire, non-electrically insulated, covered with textile, for concrete prestressing per hierarchy. Wrapping allows strand movement within concrete ducts.
Corrosion-Protected PC Steel Strand 15.24mm
