JSW Neostrands BS 5896-1980 Standard & Super Strand

JSW Neostrands rolls out the JSW Neostrands BS 5896-1980 Standard & Super Strand to serve buyers still working from the original 1980 edition of BS 5896 rather than the revised 2012 document.

Tested and approved to BS 5896-1980, the strand family covers twelve diameter-and-grade rows spanning 9.3–15.7 mm and 1670–1860 MPa, each qualified with an arc-height straightness check under 25 mm and 1,000-hour relaxation loss data recorded at both 70% and 80% initial load.

Structural engineers deploy the JSW Neostrands BS 5896-1980 Standard & Super Strand in older UK-format tender documents, historical design drawings being re-supplied, and export destinations that still specify BS 5896-1980 by name.

Packaging for the JSW Neostrands BS 5896-1980 Standard & Super Strand follows full batch traceability back to JSW Steel’s integrated wire rod mills, with cryogenic, fatigue and deflected tensile testing carried out at independent global laboratories in addition to Neotrex’s own computerised UTM and relaxation testing equipment on site.

Site precautions for the JSW Neostrands BS 5896-1980 Standard & Super Strand: cut only with an abrasive disc cutter or shear cutter, never with a flame or welding torch, since heat changes the steel’s microstructure and its mechanical properties. Coils should be unloaded with a crane rather than dropped off the vehicle, stored under cover on a raised platform away from direct ground or water contact, and protected with a vapour phase inhibitor if they will sit on site for an extended period before stressing.
