TMT Bars: grades, sizes and bulk supply
Thermo-mechanically treated reinforcement bars for concrete construction. TMT bars are reinforcement steel produced by quenching and tempering hot-rolled bar, which gives a hard outer layer and a ductile core.

Product overview
TMT bars are reinforcement steel produced by quenching and tempering hot-rolled bar, which gives a hard outer layer and a ductile core.
They are bought by grade and standard, by diameter and by bundle. Mill test certificates are normally part of the deal.

TMT Bars: frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Fe 500 and Fe 500D?
Fe 500D has tighter limits on sulphur and phosphorus and higher minimum elongation, giving better ductility. Many seismic-zone projects specify D grades.
Can I order mixed diameters in one shipment?
Yes. Mixed sizes in one container or vessel are common; list the quantity per diameter.
Are TMT bars shipped in containers?
Yes. 12 m bars are often shipped in 40-foot containers or as break-bulk for large quantities.
Which certificates should I ask for?
A mill test certificate per heat is standard. Add third-party inspection if your project requires it.
